That´s annoying. :(

So Tarling as expected in UAE and Blackmore in Algarve. Looking forward to both next week. So apart from my cross riders (Nys, Biseaux and Remijn), P.Sanchez and S.Williams, all of my riders who didn´t race yet this season, are scheduled to have their frist race this season in the upcoming two...

Would be good of course, although combination of Itzulia and giro is not something, what a lot of riders are doing...

Don´t see this as optimistic as you. With Vingegaard out of the race, the field is not that stacked anymore. An in form Mas would finish this race between 5th and 7th, which would be at least 100 points. (UAE Tour is ranked 2.WT1, so like Paris-Nice this year) Basically right now, he is only...

Do we know already, when Tarling and Blackmore will start their seasons? Together with P. Sanchez and S. Williams these are basically the only riders from my team, where there hadn´t been news about their first scheduled race yet. I would assume Tarling perhaps in UAE to battle with Evenepoel...

Carlos Rodriguez scheduled for the Tour de la Provence, where the final GC should consist of the best climbers in the race, as there is a 14 km mountain top finish at stage 2. It´s his first race after his crash at the tour 2025, so let´s see how good he already recovered. He is really...

So as expected a week, where I dropped a few spots, as I only had Kockelmann riding, while the GC in Oman (Vansevenant and Torres) will be relevant for this week. With Mas out of UAE tour with a training crash, I am getting more and more worried about him as a pick and also in general for the...

So also a yay for Kockelmann from my side. Although I am still a bit worried, as Kockelmann said in an interview after the finish, that the initial plan was, that he makes the lead out for Grisel. Seems that he is not that high in the picking order in Lotto yet. Hopefully that win helped. What...

Just watched the final of the GP Marseillaise. Kockelmann had been used as the second last lead out man for de Schuyteneer. :rolleyes: Let's hope, that he will get his chance now in Bessege.

So first month is done. Right now in 5th place overall, without having a big scorer like Brennan, Morgado or Vine in my team. So things doesn´t look that bad for me until now. Positive side: Steinhauser had been pretty impressive in Mallorca and is already nearly into profit. Biesterbos showed...

It´s working very well. I like especially the new features about the upcoming races! Just one small thing. When you click on a rider, you see a list of all players, who have this rider on his team. (Which is good!) But instead of seeing the points and the rank of the player, you see the points...

Yes and I thought, that AiUla Tour is not even a race, which is tailormade for his abilities. But he still gets stage points and also will grap up a few GC points there. As a good gravel rider I would think, that he could also be good in the classics?

Can´t agree more on that one. Basically the same happenend to me. Wanted to leave Kron out, but than saw him on the startlist with the 1 and I thought it was too risky too leave him out, so luckily he made my team again. Brenner was already on my team before the startlist came out, but I had...

That Willunga is cancelled, sucks of course. For this game on the other hand the impact is not that big, as the GC guys already made the differences at another stage. Would have really sucked and distorted the game, when also the other GC stage wouldn´t have happened and all the GC points would...

So Brenner and Kron the guys for me, who saved the day today. With the news coming out, that Lipowitz will also ride Algarve and Tour de Slovenia, I am not so confident anymore about the decicion to include O'Connor and Mas for Lipowitz in the end. Tomorrow the first race day for my unique...
