Congratulations to @Salvarani for the overall win. Your strategy of GC guys and not including Vingegaard and van Aert worked out in the end and that's without guys like Magnier and Uijtdebroeks.. Hats off!! For me second time in a row in the top10 overall in the end. Two big regrets: First one...

*Lol* Lafay is such a random rider. He basically scored in his first race of the season, than for 8 month not a point at all and than in the very last race of the season enough to go into profit and secured me 7th place overall, after I feared to drop out of the top10 overall. Legend!

Already feared until yesterday, that I would lose my top10 overall placing with the last update to @Popchu. He has Tarling, Vine, E.Hayter, J. Christen in his ranks with a 300 points lead for me. But with E.Hayter out of Holland and J.Christen also not performing in China and therefore Lafay...

Lol.. that attack was pure motorpacing...

Last year, there were also significant shifts in the final week still. I remember, that I dropped from 4th to 8th overall in that week last year. It seems, that I also have to be satisfied with a similar placing this year again. All my expensive riders are basically already in vacation and had...

Horrible startlist for me for the upcoming italian classics. Lipowitz not scheduled anymore, but therefore riders like del Toro, Vine, Powless, Ciccone, Arensman, Pellizzari, Hindley, Piganzoli all about to race... Until next sunday pure damage limitation for me...

Hmmm, not in the startlist for Emilia and also not for Tre Valli... What's up? The Italien classics should have been his last season highlight, where he wanted to participate in good form...

Although the best of your riders came in with more than 6 minutes behind, it was still enough to pass me in the overall ranking with nearly 100 points advantage for you. Good for me, that Magnier already started to eat into that gap today..

Any idea, what´s up with Albert Withen Philipsen this autumn? After he had some pretty good results early this season, he only raced the Tour of Danemark since june..

Does it compensate your frustration about Rondel´s withdrawl from the startlist of Langkawi? ;)

Yeah, my rarer picks once again didn´t deliver. Demare again a disappointment (I think I will never again pick a sprinter, who is older than 30 years) and Geoghehan Hart also not delivering in Luxemburg. Graat the only one who scored a few points.. This week will also not be good for me as my...

Gall rode the Tour and the vuelta for GC and his form was clearly dropping in the last couple of days in the vuelta. He already has a lot of racedays, so I don´t even expect him to race anymore this season. I would replace Gall with Demare in that comparison. There are still a few sprinter...

That´s not the reason I think. In the first days after the tour, the team already communicated, that he will not ride the Worlds..

Looking at the startlists of the races in the upcoming 2 weeks, the World Championships will surely be the one, that will have the biggest impact to this game. A lot of popular riders in the top ranks (J. Christen, Plapp, Morgado, Vine, Ciccone, Schmid, Ayuso, del Toro, Hindley, Healy...

Any news, why he didn´t finish both races in Canada? He just didn´t care or is his form that bad? At least the Montreal race could have suited him on paper...
