Pellizzari becomes my top scorer (just) and Cian gets of the mark. Dongel disappointed with just the cinq points. Seems Pellizzari's tendon can't be too bad.

I would hope that he skips Milan Torino and Sanremo , both of which he is down to ride. Tendons take time to sort out usually. Having said that, if he rides those two races with any commitment, it would indicate that the tendon issue wasn't too bad.

He owes us nothing this year

It didn't work out today, but brave effort.

If it were me directing them, I would ask Roglic to go early and force Del Toro to chase. But, in reality, I doubt he'd want to sacrifice himself (fair enough) and he may not have the legs to do it. But if he did, and Pellizzari was able to wheelsuck Del Toro, I'm not convinced it would work in...

Not convinced this is a good thing.

I second that emotion

Pellizzari continues to be my bright spot this week. I think someone described him as a glorified Piganzoli upthread.

Random fact. I made the other version of the For An Angel video, in Yucatan, Mexico. Apologies for swerving off topic, but none of my CQ Manager riders survived the carnage in anything like good shape. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--3eIRSg2RY

Good day for Pellizzarri and Kron. Lousy day for every other member of my teams in T-A and P-N.

I wonder if Del Grosso will have a go today.

Pleasantly surprised by the Lamperti points. GC lead is a big bonus. Looks like he'll be a decent pick.

Paris-Nice. Last year's team would have looked really promising. This year's, not so much. Zingle Chamberlain Lamperti Ballerstedt Thornley With Poole out, at least it would appear that Picnic are supporting the young Juan Martinez for GC, which might yield a few points. T-A might be better...

5 finishers and 4 DNFs from my exciting team. At least Kron showed he's back in decent nick.

Given recent performances, I wonder if it's Epstein Barr.
