Hi guys,

I want to try a little game for this giro, everyone can participate.

The rules are quite simple:

- For each stage, you have to name one rider. If your rider has the worst ranking in this stage of all the riders named in our game, you're eliminated. The last player alive wins the game.

- Every player can name a rider only once during the whole giro. (You cannot use 5 times scarponi, but every player can use him once).

- Since we will probably not be more than 10-15 to play, I think we can all have a "joker", meaning that you're not eliminated after the first mistake but only after the second. Everyone will have a second chance. (Will be confirmed once I know how many players there are)

- In order to avoid falling and abandoning of riders, you must also give a safety rider every day. It works only if the rider doesn't finish the stage (or if he finishes too late).

- The participation will be closed around 13h everyday (first stage will be open until the start)

NB: if you're afraid to forget to post everyday, you can make a list for a couple of stages at once, should be no big problem.

Ok I've got everybody's vote.

In order to have a fair game, I've decided that every player has 1 joker from now on (even the new players and Taka).
Also, for those who missed the first stage (Pedrocito, ABC Polsat,Berlin Marks), I've decided to give you Taylor Phinney as used rider (most popular, favorite, and winner). You cannot use him later during this giro.
This solution is the most "neutral" for everyone.

Team Joker St 2
Nopikouze 1 Tyler Farrar 4
Franconia 1 Andrea Guardini 192
Pokemon 1 Tyler Farrar 4
Bike Austis 1 Matt Goss 2
Toreeto 1 Tyler Farrar 4
TheDreamTeam 1 Tyler Farrar 4
Taka 1 Matt Goss 2
Aixteam 1 Sacha Modolo 133
Protour 1 Thor Hushovd 7
Pedrocito 1 Andrea Guardini 192
ABC Polsat 1 Mark Cavendish 1
Berlin Marks 1 Thor Hushovd 7

Too bad that guardini fell, Aix was going to show us once more his incredible skills and knowledge!
So for today we have Pedrocito and Franconia at the worst place. Bad luck
