Most days this game gives you mostly frustration and disappointments. But when you have a unique pick that podiums a Monument you suddenly remember why you feel you need to participate here every year! Still cannot beleive that no one else thought Jasper Stuyven was a good pick this year.

It's very similar to the Polti jerseys from the late 90s

Alec Segaert 130 points today!!! Feel it's extremly deserved after yesterday. And I am the only team in the top 50 that have him!

Not sure what you are referring to here. Only 5 DNFs in Tirreno and in P-N there was no final loop.

Didn't cost you any points though

292 points from 9 different riders today. Very satisfied for once:D

I am mildly excited myself at the prospect of having 12 riders in Strade. Guess I can only be disappointed... ADRIÀ Roger GAUTHERAT Pierre GUALDI Simone HERZOG Emil KRON Andreas LABROSSE Jordan NERURKAR Lukas NOVÁK Pavel PESCADOR Diego SEIXAS Paul VAN EETVELT Lennert VANSEVENANT Mauri

Yep, busy week if PCS/Shakes startlists are accurate: Clásica Jaén ADRIÀ Roger; COSNEFROY Benoît; VAN GILS Maxim UAE Tour GAUDU David; GUALDI Simone; HERZOG Emil; JAKOBSEN Fabio; NORDHAGEN Jørgen; NOVÁK Pavel; TARLING Joshua; VAN EETVELT Lennert Volta ao Algarve em Bicicleta LABROSSE...

With only one rider in Valenciana (Herzog 15 points) and two in Besseges (Decomble 79 points) I'm happy with the weekend! For next week I have all my seven riders at 31 seconds behind Veistroffer in Oman, so should expect quite a decent chunk of points from that race as well.

Mixed emotions for Muscat classic No one in top 8 but 5 guys in top 18:oops:

I didn't notice that Pescador was riding today, so this was a nice surprise. Quite rare in the emerging rider game as well with 9 picks.

Well I picked him last year, and as a Norwegian obviously considered him this year too. But there are so many possible good picks arounf 200 points, so I opted for Poole at 215 points, Gautherat at 213 points and Finn at 211 points as better options in that price range.

I was half right. Iker Mintegi was a uqnique pick for me in 2025 and is also a unique pick in 2026. He crashed when in the winning break on the last stage in Andalucia in February, and didn't score a single point after May. So I'm confident that he should at least double his score this year...

I had 5 unique picks in 2025. Two of them are in my 2026 as well. And I think one of them will be my only qnigue pick this year.

While waiting for the big reveal, I have found that I will probably be dead last on the first updates like in 2024. I have no Aussies or Kiwis in my team. And based on the provisional start list on PCS I have only four riders in TDU with a total cost of less than 700 points...
