Not sure you understand the game then.
It would have been better if Denmark had been struggling since then the room for improvement would be higher.

But a purely Swedish team would do worse.Not sure you understand the game then.
Don't you know. Rule 30 of the internet. "There are no girls on the internet."

I just want wins!
They already got their first podium in a pro race since who-knows-when.
I'm not a girl. I'm a woman.
Not sure the rule makes a distinction. Would have the consult the supreme court of the internet but they're busy fighting scientology or something.
At least we now know you're not Britney Spears.
... last year's Swedish championships?
The serious answer is since Ludvigsson's most recent top-3... which, ironically, was also the prologue of Tour de la Provence... the 2022 edition. Although in fairness, both Eriksson brothers and Hugo Forssell have scored at least one 4th place since then.
I gave FFB some real consideration but was worried he might not get enough leadership or free role opportunities to become a breakout rider this year.
I already feel like that thought process was wrong.
I had him in both ‘22 and ‘23. But wasn’t convinced after the results last year. Looks like a mistake right now.
He has scored big in some pretty weak fields so far.
He may continue to do that, if they give him the Hirschi-schedule.
Too early to tell if he is at another level or just in good form this early in the season. I like to see what he does in some WT-races before calling it a mistake.
For me just couldnt fit him in this season.
That's cool. Those are definitely really rare so well worth celebrating. Getting the top 4 (+9th) of Trofeo Laigueglia 2021 with just 6 riders at the start is still one of my favorite CQ moment ever.
Dainese injuring himself right before Almeria, on the other hand, is not the news I wanted to go into the weekend with...
Hopes for points pinned with Pellizzari in Antalya today ... I hope he gives good omens for the year (Pickering too, but less excited about him). Riley Sheehan has sneakily moved up on GC in Provence ... hope he maintains that. Lamperti for his one chance in Oman. Don't expect a lot from Portugal. Maybe Morgado. Interesting to see August making an early debut in Murcia ... I suppose a faint hope that Fretin sneaks points. A fun day ahead!
A very busy day of racing got off to a perfect start today with Aaron Gate beating 2 other in form fast finishers to claim the New Zealand nationals.
Hopes for Lamperti and Capiot to be in the mix in Oman today but there is a step up in class with the sprinters in opposition.
I expect Remco will crush it on his first race day of the season but hopefully my boy Del Toro can get in the top 3.

Carapaz having a winning form in February is a nice and kinda unexpected bonus. It would be nice if he kept that up and had his most consistent season ever this year.
Am a bit sad that Söderqvist didn’t understand what Pedersen was up to in Provence. My unique pick now dropped 10 spots in the GC. But ok. Second in the TT was a monster surprise, so overall I can’t be disappointed.
I'm going to need more hustle from my picks. Morgado and Martinez finishing last of their groups today isn't going to cut it. At least Carapaz understands what's expected of him.
About Carapaz.
Am I wrong in getting a wee bit disappointed that he's not going to win the overall tomorrow?

Yeah, I felt that pain as well. It seems to happen so often, that I'm not sure the UCI has made it clear enough to the riders just what is expected of them when they feature in CQ Teams. It's a responsibility that some don't seem to take seriously. Yet, look at Mads Pedersen ... exemplorary attitude to points accumulation this week ... and he isn't on a single team. Almost like they're collectively taking the Mick.

Sheehan DNS today. Pretty annoying as he was fourth going in...
This won't be my best week even if there have been some encouraging performances.
