Lowest under par wins right? 2/10 for me. I’m not expecting to do any good at these quizzes, quite literally guesswork.

Yeah, I'm not great at the quiz either, my only advice is if you have no idea, to pick something quickly, so if you are right, it gets you more points. I managed 5/10 (guessed a few nationalities based on the name) and the most points, but I'm still not far ahead. I don't see anything in the rules that the quizzes give bonus credits this year which is a bit of a shame, it also seems you need to guess the time for each stage for bonus points? That seems even tougher.

I have joined as Too Tired.
The rules look mainly the same to me including the ability to earn up to 2 extra trades via the quiz. The bonus points for guessing the stage finishing time is new and interesting.
From memory most of the quiz questions are pretty tough which only the biggest cycling nuffy would know off the top of their head. If you want to do well I would suggest getting together a list of all category winners for all years which you can refer to quickly. That is what I will be doing.

Wowsers, got 9 out of 10! 
And the one I got wrong I really should have known... 2021 stage 5 winner was Pogacar because it was the TT, not Cavendish who took the sprints either side
The questions are randomised right? Because I got a lot of very easy ones...
201X green jersey? May as well guess Sagan
Nationality of about 5 not-too-obscure cyclists (Cosnefroy, Cees Bol, Perez, Kreuziger were a few) - you can guess pretty closely if you don't know.

3/10, got some easy ones wrong which was a bit embarrassing. Finished on 1010 pts total, which is just enough for one bonus trade, but got very lucky to get that much.
It looks like around half of the teams have finalised squads now, so hopefully they are not too far off with rider prices.
