Many thanks to Armchair Cyclist or everything you do to make the cycling season more enjoyable for us all. Never thought I'd be following the Tour of Guangxi so closely. Well done to ruvu on the victory, I'm overjoyed at my podium place! Already planning my team for next year

Fisher-Black is the difference, who would have thought (apart from 5 people who picked her!)

Ruvu is looking best placed for the World's with Chloe Dygert, Anna Henderson, Monica Trinca Colonel, Ashleigh Moolman-Pasio and Lianne Lippert with good chances. Skidmark looks like he has Liane Lippert and Isabella Holgrem who could get a good result I'm placing all my hopes on Demi...

Can't anyone please beat Lorena Wiebes!

Surprised I stayed in the top 10 - but if Wallonie included then I can thank Vacek for a small boost. Glad he looks like he is coming good after not quite achieving the points I had hoped in the spring.

Still there, but only just. I had Lippert last year (I think) if that counts for anything. Anyway, all to play for!

Great pick by the 4 people who took him. He never even made the long list for my long list!

You're right. I'd thought Pieterse was a more common pick (like Ferguson) but looking back she was only picked by 7 teams, which is surprising. However, she seems too keen on mountain biking for my liking, she needs to get back to earning more points!

Vollering, Reusser and Wollaston have been the top combination so far. And with Bunel finally scoring it's been a great week. Hopefully they will all keep contributing.

Thanks to Armchair Cyclist for organising. My first ever podium, so glad Eschborn - Frankfurt was such a non-event, scoring-wise! Well done to Devils's Elbow.

Fine - just that the idea of a Big 6 has kind of run its course

Not a Big 6 anymore, maybe more layers in a top 14 (!?), or is that too much Big 2 - Pog, MVDP Not so Big 3 - Remco, Roglic, Vingegaard Next Best 4 - Ayuso, Van Aert, Pedersen, Philipsen Next Next Best 5 - Pidcock, Ganna, Merlier, Milan, Jorgensen

Don't worry, just want daily reminders of my elevated position. I actually like the 2 weekly update as it is more exciting and dramatic than more regular updates.

Thoroughly enjoying this year to date. I'd be happy with daily updates at the moment, if that can be arranged.
