This season the forecasts will be private and I will be collecting them. Whoever wants to participate must fill the following Google Form: CFF Predictions, indicating name of your team and answering all the questions. Deadline will be on the 24th August 2021 at 23:59, CFF time, just the night before TDU stage 5. You can change any of your predictions before the deadline by filling the form again (write a 0 on the predictions you don't want to change), and I will take just the latest record for the same user.
The prize for the winner will be 1 month of supporter in the game, same as past seasons.

All users can participate, but the races indicated are exclusively for riders of the first division.
The maximum achievable points are 45.
The 1-day classic, category A:
- Fixed (14): Omloop Het Nieuwsblad, Strade Bianche, Milano Sanremo, E3 Harelbeke, Gent Wevelgem, Dwars door Vlaanderen, De Ronde van Vlaanderen, Paris Roubaix, Amstel Gold Race, Flèche Wallonne, Liège–Bastogne–Liège, Eschborn Frankfurt, Clasica San Sebastian, Giro Lombardia

Good luck!

This season, I will take care of collecting the predictions on the Google Form, so I will not participate.

When you look at the predictions after the deadline ; you can participate too, Ophiuko.
I assume this is no problem to any participant, and also I assume that everyone wants you to play the prediction game too.

Even besides this, for you as 6 times winner ;
looking at all predictions before the deadline, most likely is confusing to you, and you might make wrong predictions due to this influence.
So, in your specific case it is not even an advantage to know all predictions before the deadline.
Of course, more fair would be to look at it after the deadline, and I assume everyone trust you not to look at it before the deadline.

Thanks, Ophiuko, and you too good luck with your predictions. ( I cannot beat you when you do not participate    )

I've often thought that it'd be interesting to see how a selection of the most picked would turn out.  I have to confess I actually largely did this in the season I won, with a couple of adjustments for presumed clear errors.

Here are the predictions for this season. Record of low participation this season, only 8 predictions when last seasons we were 15-17. Experts say that summer is the reason. Sorry Vos, I wanted to take a break too, I need to be focused on other things right now. I'll be updating the winners but I won't be posting any previews this season. Good luck everyone!
