Thanks for taking on the game flo - I hope I can defend my title or at least not embarrass myself next year

Last year I was 8th, 9th and 2nd, but pretty rubbish this year apart from 3rd in this. 2013 multiple top 10s Comodoro Giro 10th,Tour 5th, Vuelta 9th Kazistuta, Giro 5th, Tour 8th Cyivel, Giro 8th, Tour 10th, Vuelta 7th Tuarts, Giro 2nd, Vuelta 6th Afrank (giro) and Geraint too fast...

This will be a tense finale - I was 2nd in the Vuelta game last year but without ever really challenging for 1st place in the last days. If I can hold off Hitch then that will really save my 2013 CQ season (no where in the Main game, cobbles, Giro, Tour and 2nd to last in the youth game)...

I think you probably could have waited half an hour.

It should be exciting, you have taken an early advantage... I didnt pick Kloden (and Im sure you didnt) as a makeweight though! As for your edit description does that mean Kruijswijk really is the second coming?

SpiderTech seem to have a nice race programme as well - this is a very good start - he may be on the way to 100-250 points. I also have Raymond Kreder doing well at tour of med. Did you consider Boily as well ingsve?

yes it is risky, but should be fun - and even it pays off, i will probably still be beaten by plenty of people who have Breschel, Rogers, Davis and Henao and the other popular picks. @the hitch I think you have misunderstood - will10 wants to keep the discussion here and website just for...

the strange thing is this is already the case with the one day races (monuments are 100 points, other WT one day races are 80) - so its odd that TDU, Beijing and Eneco arent less than the established/historic stage races)

yes I know a big score is unlikely but I am happy to have some interest in the u23 races this year and hope he can double his score. I have Goos as well who is still in u23, and as expensive for an u23. the truth is Cattaneo was on my shortlist since Baby Giro, and even after he didnt go...

thanks for looking at my team - i think the lower case thing isnt a problem as you can see that it picks up last years score, so it will pick up all the lovely points he will score this year.

If anyone follows the World Tour scores, it looks like it will be close at the top for the team ranking after tomorrow. According to my maths if all stays the same after stage 6... Greenedge 107 (Gerrans, McEwan) Movistar 107 (Valverde, Moreno) SKY 105 (Rogers, EBH) RNT 104 (Bennati, Machado...

you mean that he is not on their continental team anymore? maybe he gave up on them, maybe he wants to be in Oz for better chance of olympics place. Maybe Rabo will bring him to World Tour in August.

I'm really pleased that I picked Rohan Dennis (me and one other have him I think), was kind of a last minute change as well. Looks like he will top 5 and get 40 CQ points for the KOM classification. I hope he can keep this kind of form (and perhaps more importantly his motiviation) to really...

yep, i klnew when I picked him (partly why i'm nervous about his chances to score well). I wanted some riders to follow in the u23 ranks. he can still do quite well points scoring wise, if he dominates in u23 and then emulates Battglin and Selig when he joins Lampre.

i was thinking more of it there was a hyped rider like Kelderman. Maybe Kennaugh qualifies? trying to contrast the point scoring ability of neo stage racer types against sprinter/classic type riders. Will be interesting to see if Kelderman gets the opportunities and can take them to prove...
