Pretty sure you are right then!

It was mentioned in danish TV that got a text from his girlfriend, that Kron had crashed out, so I guess it could be even worse than if it was just bad form. But definetly some wasted chances of points for him now. Hopefully its not too bad.

Shared nr 1 :) Funny enough I actually had the same feeling, with my rarest pick Henrik Pedersen. Its always fun to win the popular-ranking, and clearly felt I would have to pick Lorenzo Finn instead if I was to have a chance to win that for the last spots, that I knew would be quite popular...

Almeida might be more reliable and has the Mou-improvement hype joker factor also this year, but do you really think most likely riding 2 GTs as helper, is a better race programe than Ayuso being captain in 1 GT that will be the easiest to win next year and with him generally never riding with...

Yes out teams defiently ended up quite different this year especially for the expensive picks, but I guess thats also the toughest ones and if I had not dumped Vingegaard the last days it would have been more similar I guess. Anyways your team look very strong as usual I had also noticed those...

Good point, and for sure I think Behrens can also be a decent pick like Eekhoff was the next year, I just think that he is unlikely to do anything really good with his type and team role. But its not like I think he will be a very bad pick either, my expectation for him is just a bit mediocre.

I agree with the scepsis on Behrens, especially next year. despite his impressive finish in the U23 races last year. For me he and his u23 world championship reminds me a lot of Eekhoff, that did a similar type of u23 worlds ride and is a similar type of rider, and that then havent really done...

My team with some comments: VAN AERT Wout 1259 Should be a solid expensive pick with a realistic chance to improve well. Still skipping Strade and MSR and also riding Giro with Kooij besides the Tour almost made me think Vingegaard was the better +1000 pick, if only including one of them, but...

Im about to sent my team in very soon also as I will never get any sleep tonight if I wait to tomorrow. Until a couple of days ago my team had been almost the same since the first team I quickly made back in October and I felt really confident it had to be like that, but ofcourse in the last...

Our teams have often been quite similar and I have had the exact same process this year as you describe, so it will be interesting to see how similar our teams will turn out this year. Very quickly in the proces in late October I got a team that fitted the points well and where I felt safisfied...

Jose Antonio Pecharroman definetly deserves a mention in this tread. Seemed to be a fairly mediocre rider for years, until he in june 2003 suddenly became the best climber in the world, crushing Heras and also suddenly winning time trials, and then went right back to being mediocre again the...

I recall that one too, it was quite impressive.

I recall in 2009 or so the peloton and the sportsdirectors apparantly voted for the best descender in the peloton where Hushovd won clearly, so I think its safe to say he was up amongst the best. I have often also heard Cancellara mentioned as one of the best, eventhough it was Savoldelli that...

For once I managed a unique pick with Dunbar that looked great on the first stage but then now out after the crash in stage 2. A bit annoying . But I guess I should have been able to predict that would happen given his recent history.

Lets not forget its the team that made Dainese leadout Mayrhofer all the time.. They are quite simple either complete tactical idiots or its just some personal thing again. When I picked Lund too I was a bit afraid he would leadout Jakobsen also, but thought for sure they would also let a big...
