world championships - varese, italy

so the world championships start this week at varese in italy. we will be running two tipping contests similar to the olympics comps.

the first will be the men's time trial which takes place on thursday 25th sept over 43.70 kms. in this competition, you must tip in order the riders that you think will take gold, silver and bronze.

the second race will be the men's road race which will be held on sunday 28th sept covering 15 laps of a 17.35km circuit for a total of 260.25 kms. in this competition, you must tip the countries that will take out the gold, silver and bronze. and remember a country can take out two medals.

in each case, the tipping comp winner will be determined by a weighted average of their tip relative to the riders actual finishing position. in the case of the road race, the first rider for that country will determine that tips time. so get your tip into the address listed on the right. entry will be free as we are just playing for glory.
