my unique pick Antonio Pedrero has suddenly lost all his points this week, presumably due to some kind of name change in the database. it does not make much difference, my team is still trash, but it would at least take me closer to...67th place! to indicate how bad my team has been, ,WvA has...

up until yesterday, this season had been an unmitigated disaster. never before have I spent any more than the first week or two towards the bottom and here I am 2nd last and only 31 points above actual last! :cry: I had essentially the worst "standard" team so far. I don't even think anyone on...

I really tried. He was on my shortlist before I started constructing my team and was the rider I removed to bring the total down to 7,500. I am left with Caruso as my (young) old man.

just had a look at my nationalities and I have: BEL 7 FRA 4 GBR 4 COL 2 DEN 2 ESP 2 ITA 2 NOR 2 SLO 2 USA 1 AUT 1 CRO 1 GER 1 NED 1 UKR 1 not checked all the ages but I know that I go from very old (35+) to very young (<20)

it seems we have another name change. Antonio Pedrero Lopez has had the Lopez dropped from his name so he scored -25 last week instead of +5. could you update his name. to see if I can myself back into the top 20, I have the following for the Vuelta: DEL TORO Isaac ARENSMAN Thymen ANSEVENANT...

consciously deciding not to pick Bernal despite having him last year is looking like a more and more ill-advised decision as the season goes on...

good day with wins for Lenny and Girmay plus 2 others in the top 10 in France.

with Ayuso, Lenny M, Mas, Arensman, Carapaz and Sosa along with Nys and Dainese, I hopeful that Romandie will turn out quite well. edit: I just saw that Del Toro won by a minute in Spain yesterday, even better!

some of my single-digit popular picks in THJ, Sosa and Rondel doing well so far this week .

after the Classics being so far a total wipe-out, Dainese back and scoring points along with Bennett and Ayuso and Del Toro both scoring well is good news.

I was very surprised to see myself in 5th for the week, mainly because I had totally forgotten that I had picked Jan Hirt! :sweatsmile: It would have been even better if Ruta del Sol had been less of a mess (Ayuso) and if THJ had not crashed.

I have the first 2 in Classic Var and both are rare picks. I am not sure who I would have preferred to win; THJ is rarer but these are Martinez's first points of the season. no idea how the scoring will work in Andalucia but if Ayuso gets 110 for 2nd then I am not complaining.

I had Gautherat as a unique pick last year and he did well. I obviously decided that that was sufficient and never thought of re-picking him this year :rolleyes:. I am thinking this might have been an error. I did the same with van Wilder last year and that was also a bad idea. another unique...

I was going to mention that it was a good day but I see that has already been mentioned! :D happy to see that ultra -rare pick Dainese has made a good start to the season.
