To go with my heart and gut Quintana, or to go with my head and maybe risk move that could boost me up Froome. Hmm....
Honestly, even if I'd have been 100% sure Froome would win (which isn't at all the case), I still couldn't bring myself to vote for him over Nairo for the sake of points. Hope this helps

The podium in the Tour de Pologne looks like this:
1)Tim Wellens
2)Fabio Felline
3)Alberto Bettiol
The correct answer to the Bonus Question (for 10 points) - Who will win the stage 7 ITT - is Alex Dowsett.
With the weather playing havoc on stage 5, Tim Wellens reigned supreme and beat everyone else by a huge margin. The other two places on the podium were taken up by unfancied names, Felline and Bettiol. 3 out of 5 people playing had predicted Wellens and they pick up points for first place. Emre and and AbhishekLFC get points for getting the bonus answer right. Jungels, the most common pick, failed to finish.
Here's the points update for the TdP:
Name | Points | emre99 | 30 | Marcovdw | 20 | welker3257 | 20 | AbhishekLFC | 10 | jandal | 0 |
The updated overall standings are as follows
Name | Races Entered | Bonuses | Total Points | emre99 | 3 | 20 | 70 | namtheman928 | 2 | 10 | 40 | The Schleck Fan | 2 | | 40 | AbhishekLFC | 3 | 20 | 40 | welker3257 | 3 | | 40 | Marcovdw | 3 | 10 | 40 | Croatia14 | 1 | 10 | 30 | jandal7 | 3 | | 20 | trekbmc | 2 | 10 | 10 |
emre99 takes a commanding lead after his winning performance in the TdP game. A total of five players are tied at 40 points! Jandal fails to pick up any points for the second race in succession.

The standings for the Tour de France look like this:
GC 1st: Chris Froome
GC 2nd: Romain Bardet
GC 3rd: Nairo Quintana
GC 4th: Adam Yates
GC 5th: Richie Porte
KOM: Rafal Majka
Points: Peter Sagan
Young Rider: Adam Yates
Bonus 1: Mark Cavendish (Who will win the most number of stages?)
Bonus 2: Yes (Will someone from outside the Top 5 in the GC win the KOM?)
Only Marcovdw and welker had predicted a Froome win. They pick up points for first place in the GC. They are also the only ones to pick up any points for the GC positions! With everybody else predicting a Quintana win, and Marcovdw and welker both going for 2nd place for Quintana, the Colombian failed to live up to people's expectation. On an interesting side-note, 3 out of the 8 participants had guessed a Bardet top 5 (AbhishekLFC coming closest with a 4th place prediction).
Everyone had gone for Sagan to win the Green jersey, no surprises there. Surprisingly, no one picked Majka for the KOM win. welker was the only one to get the Young Rider classification prediction correct, choosing Adam Yates. In fact, welker got 3 out of the four classifications correct (picking Majka would've doubled his points)!
Kittel and Griepel were the most picked riders for the maximum stage win bonus question. They both picked up a single win each. Froome got 2, picked by one participant. trekbmc had picked Sagan, and missed out on 30 points by 1 win. emre was the only one who felt that a top 5 finisher would pick up the KOM jersey. Everyone else got 30 points for that question.
Here is the points table for the Tour de France:
Name | Points | welker3257 | 150 | Marcovdw | 110 | jandal7 | 70 | Eden95 | 70 | trekbmc | 70 | Luxemburger | 70 | AbhishekLFC | 70 | emre99 | 40 |
The updated overall standings are as follows
Name | Races Entered | Bonuses | Total Points | welker3257 | 4 | 30 | 190 | Marcovdw | 4 | 40 | 150 | emre99 | 4 | 20 | 110 | AbhishekLFC | 4 | 50 | 110 | jandal7 | 4 | 30 | 90 | trekbmc | 3 | 30 | 80 | Eden95 | 1 | 30 | 70 | Luxemburger | 1 | 30 | 70 | namtheman928 | 2 | 10 | 40 | The Schleck Fan | 2 | | 40 | Croatia14 | 1 | 10 | 30 |
welker catapults over half the pack with his excellent predictions for the Tour. Previous leader emre had a bad race and falls to 3rd in the standings. Marcovdw moves up to second.
