• @DeKerr it may not have a cyclist but it does have an aussie bike in it.

  @ChrisO I would assume the Aussie decision is related to ensuring Gerro has as much of his OGE break neutralisation squad at hand as possible in the road race.

  Pretty big sacrifice if you're Luke Durbridge don't you think?

  And what's Faboo's excuse? I guess he has the RR in his sights. The course is a bit like MSR.

  Depends how much the pay off is from OGE/Gerro/Gerry Ryan should the sniper get up...it's not like he doesn't have time on his side to tackle the TT.

  Say what you will, he looks like one bad ass mother fucker in this photo.

  More exceptional photography that is not by @Pedale.Forchetta after the jump

  There are three disputed picks in the queue for Dumoulin; if you disagreed with the mapping, you should have disputed it before the event started it, as we've made clear all year; the rule doesn't change just because you have points at stake.

  Nevertheless, I am considering updating your mappings and awarding the points. HOWEVER, due to the bitching nature of the remarks made with two of the disputes, I am disinclined to feel sympathetic towards your situation. The third was very polite and I'm much more inclined to award the points to that individual.

  The VSP is intended as a fun game and the fact that there are major prizes on offer does not give anyone carte blanche to violate Rule #43, particularly towards the good natured Keepers who spent time in his evening and weekend to map your picks (Brett and Gianni in this case as I was away). We The Keepers do this in our spare time; it is not our responsibility to intuit your intention when you fail to provide a full name or make it otherwise obvious who you mean.

  Was I bitchy? Didn't mean to be. It's all for fun.

  I'm sorry and I withdraw my dispute.

  Oops...I didn't see this 'till now. And I just re-disputed. I said please...

• @freddy No sweat, you were not rude. Neither was one of the others who has already apologized as well. Stress of the week behind and it being Sunday and sunny out, I'm not as annoyed by it, either.

  I have decided not to award the points though; it's your responsibility to check your mappings and dispute before the results are posted.

  @Gianni

  My brain is pretty useless for most things except stuff like that. I can do the same thing with Cycling and Star Wars trivia.

  10-4. Lesson learned.
