Posted by: Sylvester« on: May 18, 2012, 21:56 »Stage: 19 - 25 May : Treviso - Alpe di Pampeago / Val di Fiemme, 198 km: 1. Roberts 756 2. Malori 3. Rasch; maglia rosa: Pauwels
Stage: 20 - 26 May : Caldes / Val di Sole - Passo dello Stelvio, 219 km: 1. Dupont 845 2. Zeits 3. Henao; maglia rosa: Pauwels Stage: 21 - 27 May : Milano ITT, 30 km: 1. Golas 134 2. Keukeleire 3. Bérard 3rd placed Luke Roberts puts some pressure on Serge Pauwels by winning the Pampeago stage but the Australian fades on the Stelvio. Dupont wins the queen stage. Golas convincingly beats Keukeleire in the last ITT as Pauwels secures the Giro win Roberts holds on to second place ahead of Perget; Scarponi moves up to sixth.Final GC: Code: [Select] 1 Pauwels 12578Points classification: Code: [Select] 1 BonnetDenifl in 34th place is the first rider without a single top 15 placing. I'm considering some options to add some realism in order to make everything more interesting and I'll be sure to keep this conversation with myself going!

Stage: 17 - 23 May : Falzes / Pfalzen - Cortina d'Ampezzo, 186.00 km: 1. Lund 713 2. Visconti 3. Favilli; maglia rosa: Pauwels Stage: 18 - 24 May : San Vito di Cadore - Vedelago, 149.00 km: 1. Lagutin 583 2. LS Haedo 3. Bruseghin; maglia rosa: Pauwels Vicioso, Lund and Lagutin are our stage winners. None of them is a real threat on GC. It's a two horse race until the end as Pauwels and Perget battle for the Giro, unless they crack big time on the Stelvio. With only 447 dice rolls remaining it looks as if Pauwels has almost got it in the bag, while some 30 riders battle it out for third place: Code: [Select] 1 Pauwels 11002Posted by: Sylvester« on: May 18, 2012, 14:59 »Stage: 13 - 18 May : Savona - Cervere, 121 km: 1. Bandiera 497 2. Dyachenko 3. Velasco; maglia rosa: Pauwels
Stage: 14 - 19 May : Cherasco - Cervinia, 206 km: 1. Leezer 772 (+4) 2. Stannard 3. Bak; maglia rosa: Pauwels Stage: 15 - 20 May : Busto Arsizio - Lecco / Pian dei Resinelli, 169 km: 1. Samoilau 2. Vande Velde 3. Txurruka; maglia rosa: Pauwels Bandiera wins today's stage by a country mile; you heard it here first! Leezer beats Stannard in Cervinia after an extra dice roll and wins his second stage, Samoilau wins in Lecco after a very close race. Pauwels grabs a 7th place in Cervinia and extends his lead; Txurruka moves up to third place overall.

Stage: 11 - 16 May : Assisi - Montecatini Terme, 255 km: 1. Gustov 975 2. Velasco 3. Oroz; maglia rosa: Pauwels Stage: 12 - 17 May : Seravezza - Sestri Levante, 155 km: 1. Basso 600 2. Bonnet 3. Rabottini; maglia rosa: Pauwels Mazzanti bests 2 OPQS riders in Assisi and Gustov makes Euskaltel cry in Montecatini Terme (important stage for this game); Basso wins in Sestri Levante! Pauwels does great in Assisi and Montecatini Terme, less so in Sestri Levante. Nevertheless, he's still in the lead: Code: [Select] 1 Pauwels 7441Posted by: Sylvester« on: May 18, 2012, 13:46 »As I couldn't get to sleep last night due to the excitement of the AMGEN Tour of California, I decided to simulate the Giro by throwing dice in Excel (I'm glad my girlfriend doesn't read this forum). Every km of a tappa equates to a dice roll in the game. In case of an ex aequo for 1st place, an additional dice roll determines the winner.
I like the utter randomness of the stage results thus far: Stage: 1 - 5 May : Herning ITT, 8 km: 1. Leezer 39 2. Brown 3. Montaguti; maglia rosa: Leezer Stage: 2 - 6 May : Herning, 206 km: 1. Vanendert 808 2. Bono 3. Casar; maglia rosa: Vanendert Stage: 3 - 7 May : Horsens, 190 km: 1. Barta 725 2. Bulgac 3. Mazzanti; maglia rosa: Meier Stage: 4 - 9 May : Verona Stage: 5 - 10 May : Modena - Fano, 209 km: 1. Eisel 794 2. Garate 3. Vicioso; maglia rosa: Pauwels Stage: 6 - 11 May : Urbino - Porto Sant'Elpidio, 210 km: 1. Barta (cannibal!) 751 2. Capecchi 3. Cataldo; maglia rosa: Perget Stage: 7 - 12 May : Recanati - Rocca di Cambio, 205 km: 1. Bonnet 778 2. Ulissi 3. Capecchi; maglia rosa: Pauwels Stage: 8 - 13 May : Sulmona - Lago Laceno, 229 km: 1. Niermann 867 2. Smukulis 3. Izagirre; maglia rosa: Pauwels Stage: 9 - 14 May : San Giorgio nel Sannio - Frosinone, 166 km: 1. Bodnar 657 2. Marczynski 3. Bakelants; maglia rosa: Pauwels The GC now looks like this: Code: [Select] 1 Pauwels 5303As we all love silly games, I might as well try to develop this game, make it somewhat interactive, (incorporating mountains, TTT's, etc., maybe even trying to get more realistic results) in view of the TdF. I don't know how, but maybe you guys do. Meanwhile I'll keep you posted: will SERGE PAUWELS retain his slim lead? Will JAN BARTA win yet another stage? And may we expect some TOTAL RUJANO DOMINATION during the last "week"? |
