Podium Cafe PdC’s Trivia Monday Quiz #18

PdC Trivia Gang:

A late surge by IrishPeloton took the February stage win and slipped into a narrow lead in the Overall. March promises to be tough, so this competition is not over yet.

PdC Trivia Gang:

Vlaanderen90 wins the January stage but it is a "flat-footed" tie for the overall standings going into February. As the Quiz Master I can ask for a better competition. Keep-up the great work and don't slow down there are several others closing fast!

Irishpeloton has found a new and creative way to stay "out of the lead"... don't take the quiz??? Maybe this new strategy will work. We'll wait to see. Vlaanderen's perfect 15 grabbed the top spot after Quiz #9.

Podium Cafe PdC’s Trivia Monday Quiz #9

PdC Trivia Gang:

PdC's competition is fabulous! Irishpeloton jumps to the top of the Podium Café standings. As defending champion he's been holding a low profile in this year's contest... until now. Vlaanderen and FrenchKheldar may be hard pressed to hold onto IrishPeloton. Stay tuned...

SPECIAL NOTE: A large number of Trivia Monday players have been "out of the office" for the Christmas and New Year's Holidays so I'll leave December's quizzes open until January 3rd.

PdC Trivia Gang:

Vlaanderen90_PdC and FrenchKheldar_PdC tumble from the top of the PdC standings. IrishPeloton_PdC jumps into the lead... yes the lead he did want until later, but the lead none the less. My feeling is "this ain't over yet...!"

We're still following our favorite "Family Feud". Van P_PdC is giving Chris_PdC a run for his money. Through 5 Quizzes it is a dead-heat! We'll be watching...

Quiz #6 is posted. Trivia Monday QUIZZES

Good Luck,

PS- I need the help of a few cycling experts. CR's December article tries to rank the best cyclocross riders of ALL-TIMES. I have also put a poll on Podium Café. Read the article then email me or take the poll.

Podium Cafe Who is the ALL-TIMES best Cyclocross rider???


I have been guilty of not spending enough time studying cyclocross racing. It is a fabulous section of our beloved sport. It is huge in Europe and rapidly growing in the USA and the rest of the world. To help resolve my relative ignorance in this area I have categorized what I believe are the best CX riders.

But I need the help of a few knowledgeable cycling historians. What is your opinion of the best CX rider:

Podium Cafe PdC’s Trivia Monday Quiz #5


PdC Trivia Gang:

Congratulations to the Podium Café Stage 1(November) winners Vlaanderen90 and FrenchKheldar, but defending champion IrishPeloton is close behind! Going forward all of November’s scores will be added to your Overall total as Stage 2 (December) begins.

SPECIAL NOTE: Quiz #5 has only 4 questions. Two of these questions will draw on your Pro-cycling memory as well as your power of observation. I thought the question was very difficult, so it is up to you to prove me wrong. Hint: look very closely at the photo on question 3.

Quiz #5 is posted. Trivia Monday QUIZZES

Trivia Monday answers to November’s Quizzes #1 to #4 are now posted on the Trivia page. Looking for the questions you may have missed is always a good exercise.

Podium Cafe PdC’s Trivia Monday Quiz #4

 

PdC Trivia Gang:

The Podium Café standings are tight.  Vlaanderen90 and FrenchKheldar are tied for the lead, but defending PdC champion IrishPeloton and Kom_Vuelta, both of whom have not taken quiz #3, are close.  I think any of the Top 10 can win November.  And there are still several experts from last year who have not started yet! 

 

SPECIAL NOTE: This week is the last chance to take November’s quizzes.  Answers to Quiz #1, #2, #3, and #4 will be published December 5th.

Podium Cafe Trivia Monday Quiz #1 AND #2 notice for PdC’s newcomers

[Chris here: Do this!! It's a great, fun way to kill time over winter. Look for reminder posts every Monday in Fanposts. And thanks to CBB-VW and the folks at CyclingRevealed for doing this every year!]

Most of Podium Café is aware of Trivia Monday, but a few newcomers may wonder what it is…?  The concept is simple "Test yourself and have fun learning what you ‘do and do not’ know about Pro-cycling history."  The fun comes when you compete against the masses of Podium Café (special group: PdC). 

 

Every Monday from November to March CyclingRevealed will offer a new Pro-cycling Quiz.  Quiz #1 and Quiz #2 are ready to take. 

 

Trivia Monday QUIZZES: www.cyclingrevealed.com/trivia/triviaindex.htm

 

PdC is the largest “Special Group” and is very competitive!!!  When you take the challenge CR wishes you GOOD LUCK!!!

Podium Cafe Which is the "Circle of Death" stage this year?

By definition the "Circle of Death" is the hardest Tour de France stage in the Pyrenees Mountains.  This year I think that could be either Thursday's stage 12 or Saturday's stage 14. 

Which stage will prove to be defined as the entry into the 2011 Circle of Death is a matter for discussion. Legend has it that the Tour is never won before the Alps, but for sure this year's entry into the Circle of Death will see more than one Tour contender's GC hopes die.

Poll
Which is the "Circle of Death" stage this year?
Stage 12, 211 km over one category 1 climb and two Hors Category climbs (with the finish on Luz Ardiden)
20 votes
Stage 14, 168.5 km over one category 3 climb, two category 2 climbs, two category 2 climbs and one HC (the finishing climb of the Plateau de Beille)

Podium Cafe Trivia Monday fans...

I'm sure you all noticed that Trivia is coming to the Tour de France.  "Cyclingnews Tour de France Trivia Challenge"  The quiz master knows you've all been well trained and ready for CyclingNews' questions. 

CyclingNews describes it this way: 

Each day, during our live Tour de France coverage (live.cyclingnews.com), we'll ask a trivia question. Answer correctly at our contest page (easton.cyclingnews.com) to be entered into the draw for one of the prizes listed below (which includes a Grand Prize of a BMC Team machine). 

Every correct entry gives you a fresh chance to win awesome prizes from Easton and you'll get 21 chances to get into the drawing for prizes. At the end of the Tour, winners will be randomly selected from all the correct entries. The contest closes 24 hours after the final stage of the Tour.

For those of you who take the challenge good luck, we'll be watching!!!

Podium Cafe PdC Trivia Monday Champion finally crowned!!!

Trivia Gang:

Congratulations to Vlaanderen90 for becoming the fifth Podium Café champion in 5 years (list below).  Vlaanderen had a huge season-long battle with defending champion IrishPeloton before a come from behind victory in the “March stage”.  This was fun to watch all year! 

 

Today we start planning for next year’s Trivia Monday contest.  During the off-season (for Trivia that is…) please keep in that the subject matter (Cycling History) does not change.  Our goal is to ask the same questions in a new and challenging way.  I encourage you to take all the quizzes (Trivia Monday page) again with the answers highlighted. 

 

Thanks again and we’ll see you next November!

Podium Cafe PdC Trivia Monday Leaders after Quiz #15

 Trivia Gang:

I love this group.  There are great battles up and down the standings.  First and second may (?) be gone but the final podium position is keenly competitive.  Tifosa is tough BUT contenders are charging.

Time for the monthly "Rapid-Fire" quiz, there are 15 questions with a 2 minute time-limit.  This quiz should be fun, however if you panic your score may suffer. 

Quiz #16 is posted.  Good Luck!

Podium Cafe PdC Trivia Monday Top 5 after Quiz #14

 Trivia Gang:

PdC has a great competition going.  IrishPeloton is in control but not without challengers.  8 quizzes to go...

Trivia Monday rolls on, the Brutal Quiz #14 is history!?!  I'll try not to be quite so brutal in the remaining 8 quizzes.  But you do need to be challenged now and again...

Quiz #15 is posted early for the "Super Bowl" (first quiz of the February stage).  Good Luck!

Podium Cafe Food for thought… "What's an honest man worth?"


I recently read at EddyO’s FlandriaCafe article about Floyd Landis.  Old news maybe, but worth the time to read. 

 

Eddy’s What's an honest man worth? rant made me think… I may fall into the “it's perfectly ok to believe in things you can't prove” (or dis-prove).  I don’t want to believe what Floyd said was true, but given the doping history of cycling… who knows.  The scary question few want to address (with eyes wide shut) is “If true, what is the damage to our beloved sport…?”

Poll
What do you think of Floyd Landis' statements?
Floyd's statements are FALSE

Maybe it will all go away and we can get back to great racing

Podium Cafe PdC Trivia Monday Top 10 after Quiz #13

 Trivia Gang:

Tifosa leads the January stage with the sprint finish this week.  Can Tifosa hang on?  This could be wild.

Quiz #14 is the final quiz for January and this week is the final opportunity to take all of January's quizzes.  Koppenberg and Chris have been busy neglecting their Trivia Monday quizzes (?)  Will someone give them a jolt to get them re-started!!!

Quiz #14 is posted.  Good Luck!

Podium Cafe PdC discussion about a few Trivia Monday questions.  #1

Better late than never.  It was requested earlier to have a FanPost about a few Trivia Monday questions.  I'll do Eddy Merckx's 7 Milan-San Remo victories first. 

The second request is for Hinault's 1980 Liege-Bastogne-Liege. Then it is wide open.  I have my favorites but let me know the questions you'd like to discuss.   

CLASSICS: How many times did Eddy Merckx win Milan-San Remo? (2 Points)
A. 1
B. 2
C. 4
D. 7
Merckx won M-SR in 1966, 1967, 1969, 1971, 1972, 1975, AND 1976

(see CR's Race Snippet "A Merckx Milestone")
