First up we have SportingNonsense, who went with a mathematical look at the teams, taking into account rider strengths depending on each terrain. In all, it was not a bad idea for his prediction. Most have a difference of 5 places between prediction and reality, but there are 4 teams that finished considerably high than expected. There was one correct prediction with Team Type 1 in last place.

Prediction Score: 8/10

The Rider is next, and he used a Crystal Ball and his knowledge of the CT in 2014 as his way of predicting the final standings. Again, like SN, a majority of the teams finished within 5 places of their predicted spot. Nine teams fall outside the +/-5 places, whilst one was correct (Gatorade-SIS in 18th place.)

LuisLeonSanchez's Accurately Inaccurate Predictions followed the same day as The Rider's in the MG threads, and just like him, he was hoping that his improved knowledge of the CT would give him a better understanding of the final outcomes. Just over half of the predictions came with a few places of the final results, with nine teams over the +/-5 places bracket. Team Type 1 finishing in last place gave him a correct result, but that cannot take away from the 3 teams who finished more than 10 place in difference between prediction and reality.

Finally we have Smowz and his 'Old Git's rant' on the CT. Name changes, slight favouritism if you had a Red Bull almini in your ranks and all ranked by 'The Good, The Bad and The Ugly'. His honest assessment wasn't too bad in the end. He falls just behind SN for guesses within the +/-5 bracket, but unlike everyone else, he has two correct results (OPT Bank in 16th & nearly everyone's favourite to finish bottom of the pile - Team Type 1). The predictions of Fred Whitton and Novatek are a black mark again his score though...

Prediction Score: 7/10
