After seeing the points posted to their site, I'm really kicking myself for not paying attention on Chavanel....

It's odd that he gets more points than the winner but, in this rare case, he earned it.

I think he was the rider most predicted to be in the breakaway but he wasn't on the start lists for Roubaix so I left him off. Now it seems like he'll be riding PR after all so some people may even get a bunch more points for him.

Pretty happy with my teams performance át. Flandres. Not so hopeful for Roubaix. Have cancellara, boonen and haussler as the big guns. Regret about haussler. Altough I expect him to be better next weekend, should have gone with flecha or hushovd, much safer bets.

Then I'll cross fingers for the others to get some points from breaks or. A surprise good result.

 

[Tuarts]

A bump and a reminder that Paris-Roubaix is this Sunday! No predictor rest

 

[Winterfold]

My sole prediction: Geraint on the podium

(let's hope that isn't the kiss of death)

 

[Tuarts]

Bump for those that haven't to get their predictions in!

 

[Havetts]

Thanks Tuarts, sent my prediction.

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

I´ve just send my picks. Hope they reached you.

P.S.: I had to change one position pick. I just sent another PM...

Think you've get my score wrong, Armchair.

Looks like Klöden is well on his way to having his best year in his entire career at age 36. Some have chosen him but that must still be one of the biggest surprises of the year if he indeed gets his best year ever. I guess that's what can happen when you get to step out of Armstrongs shadow.

Yes indeed. He's my highest scoring rider on my team.

I'm annoyed.

Klöden is virtually my favourite cyclist, yet it never crossed my mind to pick him.

I thought he would have a better year, but that mainly meant the Tour, and not being competitive at all in the lead up.

Well done Eric, who else has him?

He should now be 2nd overall in CQ behind Goss, and possibly leading the WT rankings?

Just Erik and jens.

Just Erik and jens.

It's with a "C" Mr. Hitch. Not a "K"

 

[Eric8-A]

I'll send mine in a few.

 

[Eric8-A]

Thanks to Pais Vasco, I have now more than broken even with Kloden and Talansky.

[Spare Tyre]

Thank you Beñat, very much appreciated.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

I didn't pick spartacus as winner, and had no boonen in top 5. About as crazy as I get

 

[Eric8-A]

I kind of did half and half. I picked some of the obvious and went with some darkhorses. Picking Chavanel for Flanders worked for me last week. Lets see if some of the darkhorses I picked for tommorow works for me. I hope I can keep my lead and extend it.

 

[Ferminal]

I have the most boring and predictable (I guess that is the game?) top5 possible.

Boonen/Cancellara/Hushovd/Flecha/Pozzato

 

[Handbrake]

Hoping to do the Flanders / Roubaix double . That should be worth some bonus points!

Paris - Roubaix
Boom
Boonen
Bos
Burghardt
Gusev
Haussler
Steegmans
Vaitkus
Wiggins

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

1. hushovd
2. Spartacus
3. flecha
4. chavanel
5. pozzato

I figured I'd avoid the obvious, hoping it may pay off.
