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.

1 SlowClimber 601 Vollering, Reusser, Van der Breggen, Pieterse, Woolaston Woolaston - hopefully not a terrible New Zealand pun

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!

There seems to be a lot of common picks this year. Seventeen of my picks are shared with more than 30 teams, so I won’t add any more comments for them (Uijdebroeks, Van Baarle, Vermeersh, Tao, Albert Philipsen, Kron, Seixas, Gloag, Hayter, Bagioili, Tullet, Cavagna, Behrens, Bisiaux, Magnier...

Same for Almeida. Probably his last chance to show his future is not just as a domestique for Ayuso! Is he going to be able to gap O'Connor on any of the remaining stages and take 5 mins? Has just made this race a lot more interesting.
