8


Looks like Bruyneel will finally get #8, the hard way.

Bonus question for 8 points:
Name 8 teams to DNF the Tour de France since 1988 not including this year.

p.s. Bonus points are open to players (LilyBella, you can get some points too).

my own bonus question:

Why are the dice in a plastic baggie?

 
At 8:31 AM, Blogger EB said...

Does being forced to withdraw before the prologue count?

- Festina (1998)
- Once (1998)
- Banesto (1998)
- Farm Frites (1998)
- Kelme (1998)
- Vitalicio Seguros (1998)
- Riso Scotti (1998)
- Astana (2006)

here is my list I'm short one but I'll make up for it with the bonus quest.

Kelme
PDM (1991)
Festina
Astan-Wurth
T-Mobile
AG2R
Liberty Seguros

and for the bonus:

Evidenced by Catwon's game playing, she is a member of Gamblers Addicted, those are her lucky lucky dice. She likes to smooch and spit on them as her rolling ritual at Vegas...and Catwon will not have anyone...including Marsy touch them or risk her lucky germans off.

panda-I'm impressed and your choices are very close, but I'm looking for DNFs not DNSs (Astana was a DNS)

lilybella-close and very good on the Dutch team

marsey-see lilybella's answer

What about teams that dropped out of the WOMEN's Tour? I can give you four of those, also from 1998:
- Banesto
- ONCE
- Kelme
- Vitali Cio

And I just found the article for PDM (1991), but can I use that after Lilly? I can cite my sources...

 
At 10:39 AM, Blogger EB said...

Ooooh, oooh, or I'll add TVM from 1998 if the other ones don't count, and that's 8!

(can you tell I want bonus points?)

Are those special "doped" dice?

waaah

I'm late to the party

PDM 1991 (flu)
Festina 98 - STage 7
TVM 98 Stage 19
Once 98 stage 17
Banesto 98 stage 17
Vitalcio Seguros 98 stage 17
Kelme 98 stage 17
Riso Scotti 98 Stage 17

ooh! I'm not late

I see that Panda chose FF and they weren't in 98

not that I am competitive or anything...

 
At 11:16 AM, Blogger EB said...

Oh, rats, TVM Farm Frites was the whole team name, but I got excited and separated them. However, I believe that I was the first to come up with 8...

No, not competitive at all!

More importantly did I win QOB?
(queen of the Bonus)

I think only lilly should get a bonus point.

all those caught googling shall be tossed out of competition.

 
At 12:21 PM, Blogger EB said...

Marscat just wishes she googled faster...

 
At 1:05 PM, Blogger PAB(a.k.a.CID) said...

are those gummi dice?

 
At 1:26 PM, Blogger Velo Bella said...

who needs Google when their is cyclingnews? I swear they have ALL the answers. Love them aussies!!

 
At 1:28 PM, Blogger Velo Bella said...

Fuzzy dice!!

 
At 1:28 PM, Blogger Velo Bella said...

and I mean "there"

 
At 1:28 PM, Blogger Velo Bella said...

and I really should be working instead of making useless comments

 
At 1:29 PM, Blogger Velo Bella said...

I want to be sponsored by french fries

 
At 1:44 PM, Blogger PAB(a.k.a.CID) said...

aren't farm frites = french fries?

 
At 2:16 PM, Blogger Velo Bella said...

yes they are, thats what made me think about it

I want to be sponsored by fries and beer

 
At 2:28 PM, Blogger EB said...

Garlic fries and beer...

 
At 2:38 PM, Blogger Ippoc Amic said...

VB-gets the 8 points for the fully correct answer...
and FLU = EPO injections gone awry

Panda-I feel ashamed not to know what teams dropped out of the Women's tour...

I do think Panda should get some points for being the first up with 7 DNF teams and so should Lily for PDM...how about 1 pt each ????

OV-no points for you with that Commesso choice...

Pabcid-not gummi, travel dice...

 
At 2:52 PM, Blogger PAB(a.k.a.CID) said...

so....the dice are in a plastic baggie....so tht when you travel up to altitude and they explode, they don't get all over your other stuff?

 
At 2:53 PM, Blogger PAB(a.k.a.CID) said...

garlic fries sound awesome right now...

 
At 2:55 PM, Blogger marscat said...

pab's grubb'n again

 
At 3:27 PM, Blogger PAB(a.k.a.CID) said...

i have yet begun to grub!

 
At 3:34 PM, Blogger EB said...

But...but...I got all of them before VB, just in two different comments! Why don't I get the points? All she had to do was combine my comments and the answers were all right there (pouty face).

(Disclaimer: I'm sure VB didn't REALLY need to combine my answers, but hey, a race is a race!)

 
At 3:45 PM, Blogger Ippoc Amic said...

ok Panda-I'll give you 7 points because you did have most of them initially...

 
At 3:48 PM, Blogger EB said...

WOO HOO!!!!

I'm not even disappointed to have come in late on the second bonus post :).

 
At 5:51 PM, Blogger X Bunny said...

i didn't even get to see this post until after the points were already awarded....

you should keep anything you don't want to lose in plastic baggies---it works for me until the baggies get holes in them.....

 
At 5:54 PM, Blogger PAB(a.k.a.CID) said...

X-Bun is at too severe a disadvantge. She can't access the blogs at work.


I think we should declare the whole thing a draw.

They could start the Tour over, perhaps?

 
At 6:34 PM, Blogger Ippoc Amic said...

pabcid - I'm making up the bonus points which I don't get to answer...bunny and I are both at a disadvantage in this game right now...
