TdF 2025 Bingo
First off, apology for posting this bingo after the Tour has already started. I may or may not have procrastinated, then went on vacation, so other things had priority. For that reason the bingo will include events starting from stage 4 (8th July) onwards - anything bingo-applicable that happened in first 3 stages will not count. (If you set up your bingo card on say, stage 6, all of the things that happened on stage 4 or later count.)
I compiled a list of events with at least a decent likelihood of happening. I also merged some of the less likely options (Rog or Pog winning an uphill sprint is now one event instead of two separate ones, for example). For the sake of easy applicability, I avoided including coverage-specific stuff (like Kelly saying something, or McCrossan, or someone from Danish TV, etc.) or stuff that would feel uncomfortable to cheer for (riders crashing, unless it's Roglič, because that's pretty much a given).
How to play?
I decided to scale down the size of bingo from 5x5 to 3x3 for this year and drop the scoring system I had last year - not that it mattered much, since we're not competing directly, and this is mostly meant to spice up viewing of the race. You basically "win" when you cross out all of your bingos.
The centre tile is a virtual freebie "Fans being idiots": running dangerously, pushing riders, crashing riders, showering riders, being Borats, (almost) blocking the roads, ... you know, all the good stuff.
Here's a quick generator for your bingo cards.Opening this link will already give you a filled out bingo card at the bottom. Feel free to link your cards for proof - this is the card that I got.

I will update this thread with what bingos are done and link it with updates in post-match threads to help people keep track of it. If you play I also suggest that you save this thread.
