Sorry for the delay on this, I have lots of excuses.
PComeau wins the pool by putting Flecha into second place. Yea, he’s the only one that scored any points at all in the pool so I had to get creative on the scoring for the rest of you. Don’t complain about the scoring because I wasted 15 whole minutes on this project.
After scoring based on the rules I then looked at those who had 4 finishers and scored them based on the overall finish of the picked riders with low points being scored ahead. I then did the same thing for those who had 3 finishers and then the sorry dude that only had two finishers.
So, without further delay, here are the final pool results:
1st PComeau (10 pool points)
2nd Kevin Powers (39 alternate points)
3rd Adam Newman (59 alternate points)
4th Plan B (73 alternate points)
5th Skibby (88 alternate points)
6th E Fresh L (91 alternate points)
7th Jim R (91 alternate points) (Hammond over Hushovd)
8th Strats (97 alternate points)
9th (dis) (98 alternate points)
10th Chad Macy (98 alternate points) (Boonen over Ballan)
11th DavidH (100 alternate points)
12th Cour10ay (104 alternate points)
13th Daniel Casper (110 alternate points)
14th Evolving Yeti (110 alternate points) (Hoste over Gusev)
15th Super Rookie (116 alternate points)
16th Tuffy (132 alternate points)
17th Timmer (11 alternate points, 3 finishers)
18th Chris Baldwin (26 alternate points, 3 finishers)
19th Brian Koeneman (47 alternate points, 3 finishers)
20th Der Kruiser (36 alternate points, 2 finishers)
Thanks to all who played along.
Top 4 win the Banjo Brothers bags, send on some addresses!
The AG is getting absolutely creamed in his testimony before Congress this afternoon. Keep in mind that Gonzales has been Bush’s boy since he was governor of Texas.
The whole spectacle is a perfect example of the utter and complete incompetence of this administration. I mean, if you are going to play politics with every branch of the federal bureaucracy, can’t you at least play the politics well? These guys can’t even make good hacks. It’s an embarrassing window into the empty suit that has occupied the White House since January 2001.
Bring on 2008 and put the grown ups back in charge.
Way to go Connie. I can’t believe no one else thought of this…

Fans of 2006 Tour de France winner Floyd Landis have stumped up their hard earned cash to buy the American’s signature and a photo opportunity with the 31 year-old, with Landis reportedly charging fans 25 dollars for the privilege at a Dallas bicycle shop.
I have it on good authority that Landis signs those photos with the inscription “Thanks Sucker.”
