Giveaway Competition: Win a Wolf

Wolfie Giro mascot

“Lupo Wolfie” is the new Giro mascot for 2015. Many races have a podium plush and this one is all about supporting the wolves who roam Italy in association with the World Wildlife Fund. Now you can get your paws on one.

Question: pick the rider who will finish last in Cervinia on Stage 19 this Friday.

Why last? Because it’s harder than picking the winner and it’s always worth reading to the end of the results sheet to see who is struggling on against the odds, who is suffering and crosses the finish line long after the podium prosecco has been sprayed. Plus the last rider gets no free wolf toys either.

How to enter: leave a comment below. Please don’t email or tweet as it’s too hard to collate the answers.

The Commissaire bit: the winner will be picked on Friday evening and the goofy-toothed wolf will be posted to you shortly. In the event of a tie the names will be pasted into Excel and a random winner generated. If nobody picks a winner then the closest pick to last wins.

    • if i “win”, I’ll donate it to his dad’s bar to go along with the goat thing he has from QS’s TTT win in the Giro a few years ago.

  40. Riccardo Stacchiotti (Nippo – Vini Fantini).
    Inrng, do you mean finish last or is classified last?
    What happens if rider finishes outside time limit?

  42. This mascot is nothing but a pale imitation of Warrington Wolves Rugby League’s Wolfie, who has been delighting crowds at the Halliwell Jones stadium with his cheeky antics for 10 years at least.

  146. Roger Kluge, the German rider from IAM Cycling should come in last, if he abandons, it could be Fabio Aru of Astana – that face means he’s suffering

  194. Long time reader, first time poster – have to admit I bought a Lupo Wolfie from Gazzetta’s website, so I’ll go with Richie Porte and let some lucky adult share in the joy of reverting to childhood.

  216. 2 questions Mr. Inrng.

    1) When do entries close? Before the stage starts on Friday I presume but I don’t think it says anywhere?
    2) Are you tracking ip addresses to make sure people aren’t entering several times with all the usual suspects?

    PS
    3) Am I taking this too seriously? A. Yes
    4) Will I even get close to the correct answer. A. No
    5) Shall I shut up now? A. Yes

    Taxi…

  276. If Roger Kluge doesn’t finish last, he should be given a prize just for what looks like the most nominations! …lol lol… ((-:
