Velominati Super Prestige: Tour Of Chongming Island 2016
Ok, so we know you’re all excited about the Giro starting tonight, and poring over your picks and determining who is the best of a pretty weak field. Look, it’s Nibbles then daylight, ok? Good.
Now we got a bit lost in it all too, and if it wasn’t for the eagle eye and sharp Cycling mind of @Bianchi Denti, the women’s Tour of Chongming Island would’ve had Delgado status from the folks that are supposed to be aware of such happenings. So we all need to act quick. Typing this is taking up valuable seconds that are needed to pontifi… oh shut it, here’s a Start List.
This will be a lot harder to pick than the Giro (Nibbles, I tells ya) so use your time wisely, get your picks in and do NOT complain if you miss the start, just make it up in the rest day swaps for that other race I keep mentioning for some reason that I really shouldn’t be because time is ru…. (Nibbles).

Its a very important race to the people of Chongming Island.

As a side bet, my guess is that the winner of the VSP for this one gets <5
points…

Apropos of nothing but bare-faced self-promotion, I’ve worked Chongming. Great times.

Jesus H, glad I caught this by yet again fucking off at work. Not even sure where Cheech
Chong Island is.
VSP PICKS:
Be aware that Stage 1 results are now available, so recite the Keepers’ Oath after making your picks.
What is the Keepers’ Oath?
“I shall not…oh do feck off!”
So when does entry close? Before the last stage, one would hope. I’m resisting the urge to change my picks now.

Paddypower does not even know Chongming… So how am I supposed to know?
VSP PICKS:
this feels like throwing darts at a dartboard – I think there’s about 6 riders on the startlist that I recognise.
VSP PICKS:
@xyxax
“I promise not to bully my friends.”
“I promise not to leave my keys in the car.”
“I promise not to depriciate nontaxable items brought forth from the previous tax year.”
So when I tried to enter my picks, the entry was closed… but since that time many others appear to have been able to add them.
No fair, I say!
Ummmmmm. So what was the window on this being open and closed? Cause it wasn’t open last night about 10-11 CST. Just sayin’
VSP PICKS:
@John Irvine
That’s what I meant! I just misspelled it.
@xyxax
I believe the Keeper’s Oath is also…oh motherfucker!
Okay. Game on, but hard one to figure out. Let’s go with team leaders and call it a day.

This exercise in picks can only end badly, muchlike beginning a conversation with the phrase, “I’m no expert on politics but…”
VSP PICKS:
VSP PICKS:
Yeah. I thought I did a good job following women’s cycling. I was wrong.
