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.

And FastFaller the week after. Only way is down

Happy with how the season started and looking forward to the classics. Bit annoyed I cut Romeo at the end of the selection process. I had him last year when he didn't really perform, so didn't keep the faith. Govekar was selected instead, so time will tell if that was a good idea

Seems crazy that with all the new technology that allows different digital platforms and the ability to offer bespoke packages that the broadcasters have gone with bundling everything together and one-size-fits-all.

I'm already down in my usual position from last year!
