A true story of heartbreak:
"Week 9 of the MP3 contest saw a close
battle in the top 4 for the lead. Beck. North. McMinn. Galloway.
These players, barring remarkable changes, would decide the battle for the podium.
Week 9, Paris-Tours, is considered the "sprinter's classic"
of the World Cup, and is thus perhaps the most challenging to predict. Emerging from the chaos of the sprint, Dave Henderson's 1-2 of Freire and Hondo was good for high points on the day. Indeed, his choice of Hondo was the "dark horse" pick for the week.
Of the podium hunters, Galloway was strongest with his
Freire-O'Grady 1-2. Beck limped in with 12th best
for the week, but held on to a microscopic 4 point lead over Beck in the final standings. Tom McMinn came in even
weaker, and North was a DNS."
Dropping from second to sixth:

No return in the final week and no next year to make it up:
"Thanks to all for playing. There's no world cup next year, so this contest can no longer exist in its current form. But I'll come up with something."
