So-so result for me in the end. 3rd among 5 participants is OK, but to miss out on the win by 2 points (1 more wouldn't have been enough) still stings a bit. Although, with some different rulings I might even have made it.
For example, I'd definitely have considered Madrazo's TTT stage win with Newton Foundation, making him another 2014-2024 winner (it wasn't stated that only individual wins would be considered).
And the tie breaker question isn't completely clear for me, either. It's true that Schleck won the 2015 RR in Luxembourg - but the title was actually awarded to Feiereisen. So does Andy have 1 or 2 titles after all?
1) Even now, you would have won if SotD would have predicted me as the winner of the game
2) I had both Madrazo and Eastman for the 2014-2024 as well because of their TTT wins
3) Andy won the RR title in 2015 but he also won world champion so he didnt wear the jersey. Same with Pluchkin for the TT.

1) Yeah, that question was pretty decisive in the end - and it's even the only question where you don't need to give the right answer
2) Yeah, I'm not alone But tbh wouldn't have expected YOU to consider TTT wins as actual wins
3) Thanks for clarification, makes sense! So the list of NCs in the discussion thread is actually the list of jersey wearers for the next season

I dont and i also dont consider a random c1 race a Grand Tour
Be assured that i commented my own replies in that matter but i needed to include some questionable edge cases to get all answers indicated possible lol
First of all, congrats to knockout on the win! I was almost sure you or SotD would do it - just weird that I didn't get any points for predicting the right winner
The question was pick the most likely winner not the actual winner, so I feel like it was reasonable, although unlucky for you. I was concerned if I did the actual winner it might be too hard as people wouldn't know who had entered, which of course completely overlooks that they would, because of the bonus question - hadn't really thought that through.
The mangame win file doesn't consider TTTs, and neither my nor Atlantius' file labels winners for TTTs so it didn't really even occur to me. Nearly everyone had asides that could have got them more points with different interpretations. A couple of folks called out PHL for example.
Weird how what seemed simple to me when I did it ended up with so many subtleties. Glad people enjoyed it.
The only thing better than winning is losing on a tiebreaker
I made the mistake of answering Q2 before the clarification, which meant I missed out Bennett - I didn't count ToA, and instead spent ages trying to figure out the 5th rider, eventually going with Madrazo (if TTTs counted) and Lecuisinier if they didn't.
However, the ToA issue wouldn't have mattered had it not been for the other clarification, which was that KoM and points were only included from 2021 on. I had Kudus as one of my 5, as he won the Tour of Rwanda KoM in 2014, so there were actually 5 right answers (just not according to the file)
But tbh wouldn't have expected YOU to consider TTT wins as actual wins
