Round 3 - Losers
1) Name a rider who's finished on the Podium of the TDF, but never won it
They couldn't even win this one, three-way tie for first place. 3rd in 2013 Joaquim Rodriguez, 2nd in 2014 Jean-Christophe Peraud and 3x runner-up and 3x third placed perrenial loser Raymond Poulidor all picking up 3 points. Third in 2011 Frank Schleck, third and second Ivan Basso and French hero Richard Virenque all picked-up solo points. I have to point out trekbmc gave me an incredible hybrid of Peraud Poulidor which i had to count as incorrect.
Spoiler Raymond Poulidor x3
Joaquim Rodriguez x3
JC Peraud x3
Frank Schleck x1
Ivan Basso x1
Richard Virenque x1
Peraud Poulidor x1
2) Name a PCM.Daily member who's been nominated for an award but never won, that is not Jesleyh
Runaway win here for TheManxMissile. Losses in Member, Admin, Avatar, New Member and twice a loser in One-Rider picking up 6 points. Selwink, Dippofix, MARSUPILAMI, Paul23 and Eintracht Fan all earned single points. Cycleman123 and Marcovdw get one points by voting for themselves.

1979 Lantern Rouge winner Gerhard Schoenbacher romped away to claim a big 7 points win. 1903 Arsene Milloucheu, 1919 Jules Nempon and 1955 Tony Hoar only get one point. Gustav Google and Jeffery Jerreinsburg III don't exist, but nice tries. Wim Vanseverent won in 2006, 2007 and 2008 but that's not pre-1980.
Spoiler Gerhard Schoenbacher x7
Arsene Miloucheu x1
Jules Nempon x1
Tony Hoar x1
Gustav Google x1
Jeffery Jerreinsburg III x1
Wim Vanseverent x1
4) Name a FIFA World Cup team who got elimiated without winning a match

The Socceroos, Australia, never won a game in 1974 or 2014 scored 3 points. North Korea who didn't win in 2010 and Canada who didn't win in 1986 scored just 1 point.

Plenty of options here. Fan-favorite and all time legends Boeing-Bulgaria take the top spot with 4 points. Carlsberg-Danske Bank got 2 points. Evonik, TomTom, BoI, Chiquita, Privatbank and Nordeus all scored 1 point. Bonsucro was an incorrect answer having won GC's in their debut season.

Onto the Overall scores. Matt17br defends his slim 1point lead over TMM for the topspot. rogvi97 loses ground to those two. lakebeach win closes him up to the podium. OZrocker and Marcovdw themselves for 5th place. Certainly excitement at the top end with two rounds to go!

The fight for the first place is a freakin' close one 
Didn't think that naming Boeing would have been such a popular choice

Pretty good round, just two big misses and I should have realised to just put whoever is setting the questions for #2 and #5 by now 
PS: In the Question #4 spoiler Australia is listed as x4, I think it should be x3, right?

That's not fair, here is my pm, you can clearly see that I was listing names: F Schleck, Quintana, Pinot, Peraud, Poulidor, but I was using a tablet and stuffed the comma, also, I only said that my answer was Poulidor, if I wrote Basso there then it would have been counted as Basso, do I honestly need a First Name to get it correct? Did everybody else use a First Name?
F. Schleck (kind of Andy as well, he'll probably get a few picks), Quintana, Pinot, Peraud Poulidor.
Going to go with Poulidor, because he really deserves recognition for the one thing he achieved, and he is the true 'loser' of peloton.

? I mean Question 1.
Funnily enough I've just realised, when the scores are corrected I'll have scored 23 every round, I think, or is it 22 this round?

Round 4 - Cycling Sponsors
1) Name a French cycling sponsor
Run away victor for the most successful French team of the last few years. FDJ picking up 9points way ahead of the rest. Cofidis bagged 2points. Europcar, Ag2r and BigMat all picked up just the 1 point.
Spoiler FDJ x9
Cofidis x2
Europcar x1
Ag2r x1
BigMat x1
2) Name an official partner of Le Tour de France
We have a tie for the top spot. 3 points each going to LCL(Credit Lyonnais) and Skoda, both clearly benefiting from their sponsorships. 2 points go to Le coq Sportif and Carrefour. Vittel, French TV, Mavic and Froot Shoot pick up single points.
Spoiler LCL x3
Skoda x3
Le coq Sportif x2
Carrefour x2
Vittel x1
French TV x1
Mavic x1
Froot Shoot x1
3) Name a title sponsor of a race
One clear winner here. The most recent WT event the Santos TDU in the mind, so Santos picks up 6 points! Eneco grabs 2 points as does Amstel. AMGEN, Vattenfall, Het Nieuwsblad and Cadel Evans just getting the single scores.
Spoiler Santos x6
Eneco x2
Amstel x2
AMGEN x1
Vattenfall x1
Het Nieuwsblad x1
Cadel Evans x1
4) Name a team that only has one sponsor in its name
This was the most one-sided question ever in IWS. Sky, of Team Sky, racked up 13 out of 14 points... WOW! Budget Forklifts the remaining point.
Spoiler Sky x13
Budget Forklifts x1
5) Name a team that has two sponsors in its name
It's a tight victory and with 4 points it goes to Tinkoff-Saxo, makes up for Albertos loss i guess. Etixx-Quickstep bag 3 points alongside Garmin-Cannondale. Giant-Alpecin, Lotto-Jumbo and Ag2R-La Mondial only get one point. Node4-Girodana is incorrect, in 2014 it was Velosure-Giordana and in 2015 it doesn't exist.
Spoiler Tinkoff-Saxo x4
Etixx-Quickstep x3
Garmin-Cannondale x3
Giant-Alpecin x1
Lotto-Jumbo x1
Ag2r-La Mondial x1
Node4-Girodana x1
Cycleman123 storms it in with a perfect round of 35! TMM and Rogvi go one short with 34 just behind. Overall leader matt17br can only pull in 29. jandal7 gets a 5-pointer but with one incorrect answer.

4 Rounds down, 1 to go so how's the fight for the title? TheManxMissile moves back into the lead with 132. Matt17br drops 4 back to 128. rogvi97 keeps in contact on 123. Anyone of them could win it in Round 5! fjhoekie breaks the 100point mark in 6th.

Being beaten by people who have participated in less rounds is never a good thing. This time it was particularly annoying as I had Santos down, but thought Eneco would be more popular. Overall, I am just happy I didn't get anything wrong this time! |

23,23,22,24 Aren't these scores a little scary? , can you do a really hard round TMM? So everybody else can get 10 and I can get 23.
Anyway, doing allright, but how come Ag2r - La Mondale (not Mondail) can be spelt in correctly, but I can't forget a comma before Poulidor??
