I think I want to take part. In the first post, TheManxMissile says:
"the answers will be sent via PM to either the game host, or me (it'll be made clear at the start respective round which one)."
Who should I send my answers to?!

I have a question about this;
5. Name a rider who finished a Grand Tour without winning a stage
Does this apply to only that Grand Tour, or must they have not won a Grand Tour stage for the whole year? (e.g. Adam Hansen didn't win a stage in the Giro, but did in the Vuelta)

It isn't late, the game lasts 5 rounds and this is still the first one  You can take part even in only a round

But I don´t really know who have to make the questions...
Is it an order? The person who is the winner? Or what?
Thanks in advance

It`s all said in the first post.
Yes. The winner after 5 roudns will ask the next five rounds. |

Are the points set to 0?

Round 1 - Results
1. Name a monument winner
Only 5 potential answers to this one but that didn't make it an easy choice. All 5 did get chosen, but by varying amounts. Dan Martin was the top answer with 8. Perhaps because it was the most recent monument, perhaps because there are a couple of big Martin fans on the forum. The weakest choice was Simon Gerrans, while Paul23 invented a 6th monument that Phillipe Gilbert won this year.
Spoiler 8x Dan Martin
6x Fabian Cancellara
4x Alexander Kristoff
4x Niki Terpstra
2x Simon Gerrans
1x Philippe Gilbert
2. Name a rider who failed a drugs test
Maxim Iglinskiy is the biggest scoring answer of the round with 13 points. There weren't quite 13 different methods for spelling his name, but it wasn't far off. Clearly his positive was fresher in the mind than Ulissi or Impey, who has of course since been cleared.
Spoiler 13x Maxim Iglinskiy
3x Diego Ulissi
3x Daryl Impey
2x Valentin Iglinskiy
2x Logan Loader
3. Name a rider who rode for a WorldTour team for the first time
The hardest question of the round with only 3 options being selected more than once. Adam Yates returns the biggest score with 6. Arredondo and Ewan were the others to receive more than 1 vote.
Spoiler 6x Adam Yates
4x Julian Arredondo
2x Caleb Ewan
1x Tim Wellens
1x Davide Formolo
1x Bryan Coquard
1x Riccardo Zoidl
1x Dayer Quintana
1x Daniil Fominykh
1x Javier Acevedo
1x Michael Valgren Anderson
1x Simon Yates
1x Edward Beltran
1x Loic Chetout
1x Lorrento Manzin
1x Loh Sea Keong
4. Name a rider who rode for a WorldTour team for the last time
From neopros to retiring pros, and Jens Voigt is a standout selection here with 12. Teammate Andy Schleck took 6, while David Millar had 3. TMM doesn't have much faith in forum member Brajkovic's chances of finding a WorldTour contract in future.
Spoiler 12x Jens Voigt
6x Andy Schleck
3x David Millar
1x Cadel Evans
1x Janez Brajkovic
1x Laurent Mangel
1x Nino Schurter
5. Name a rider who finished a Grand Tour without winning a stage
Chris Froome is the top answer here after finishing in 2nd place five times during the Vuelta. 9 points for him, and only 6 for previously serial winner Sagan who failed to win a TdF stage despite 9 Top 5 finishes. Surprisingly only one person went for Rodriguez, who rode all 3, finishing 2.
Spoiler 9x Chris Froome
6x Peter Sagan
3x Jens Voigt
2x Cadel Evans
1x Joaquim Rodriguez
1x Carlos Betancur
1x Mikel Landa
1x Johan Le Bon
1x Enrico Barbin
No perfect round this time although we nearly did have. baseballlover312 sent a revised entry in 10 minutes after his first PM, swapping out Froome for Sagan. Oops! He is still a close 3rd, 1 point behind joint leaders fernando97 and Marcovdw. Only 10 points separate the Top 10. matt17br does well to be 5th after not picking Voigt, but forgetting Maxim Iglinskiy proved to be much more of a penalty.
At the bottom there is a rare double figures score for TMM and is tied with jseadog1, who I'm not sure was even trying for a low score! Bikex picked right with the monument winner to take bottom spot.
