Overall standings
The top four today were the top 4 this morning, and 9 of today's top ten were top ten this morning. Effect on the overall ratings therefore is somewhat like an uphill TT in the last week of a GT: distancing the also rans but doing little decisive among the front runners.

Of course, we mustn't forget the Klasica Primavera, where the following points were scored:















So we may as well forget it.

 

[karlboss]

Degenkolb on one team (Lightbing)
Canc on 8 teams
Vanmarcke on 15 teams,
Stybar on 17 teams
Thomas on one (asdfgh101)
Langeveld on 11
Boonen on 43 teams

Scores from Paris-Roubaix:
1 Madrazo 459 (Vanmarcke, Stybar, Langeveld, Boonen, Turgot, Vandenbergh + 2 fivers)
2 Josedin 454 (exactly the same, but only one minor finisher)
3 Karlboss 372 (Cancellara, Vanmarcke, Stybar, Langeveld, Boonen, Turgot,

I wish that were my team, I don't have Vanmarcke and Stybar.

 

[del1962]

Phinney and EBH have been really dissapointing, nvm, hopefully Gilbert in the Ardennes can raise me to mid-table

 

[search]

I did have a look at the perfect possible team so far. I did it manually though, so there might still be some minor room for improvement

TERPSTRA Niki - 821 -> 706
VANMARCKE Sep - 491 -> 554
BOONEN Tom - 139 -> 370
VANDENBERGH Stijn - 277 -> 302
COLBRELLI Sonny - 276 -> 220
LANGEVELD Sebastian - 364 -> 208
BENNETT Sam - 121 -> 174
SWIFT Ben - 158 -> 145
APPOLLONIO Davide - 98 -> 109
PUCCIO Salvatore - 92 -> 96
BILBAO Pello - 105 -> 80
PARRINELLO Antonino - 50 -> 46

(Rider - price -> scored points)

so that team would already be into profit, 2992 -> 3010 points

 

[Hugo87]

Was expecting better than 20th overall, but Nuyens, Roelandts and Vansummeren were strong bets for the cobbles and failed completely.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Setting the bar a bit low at this point.
Target is to beat Trudgin.

Thanks for the update.

Vanmarcke looks like the pick of the comp, and I can't see him beaten, unless someone pulls a Gilbert/Rebellin, and even then they'd need to be valued around 650.

[EvansIsTheBest]

I expect to climb up the rankings after Gilbert and Vanendert went 1-2 today.

 

[Afrank]

Looks like I may have been right to throw my eggs in the Gilbert basket. Only too bad Roelandts and Stybar didn't make more of an impression on the cobbles.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Let's get the minor race today out of the way first: TroBro Leon

13 teams get 24 for Turgot, 2 get 20 for Jerome, 6 get 9 for Mondory (4 of which are combined with Turgot), and 2 get 5 points for Van Bilsen. 25 teams get nothing.

[Armchair Cyclist]

The main points, however, for today came in the Amstel Gold.

The top 3 riders were all fairly popular:
13 teams have Gilbert (220 pts), 23 have Vanendert (132), and 6 have Gerrans (112).

Various combinations were chosen:
Gilbert/Vanendert: AG, Evans is the Best, Kaziatuta, Dazed and Confused
Gilbert/Gerrans: Oliveira, Just Some Guy
Vanendert/Gerrans: IlPirata, Cyivel, Hilltop Finisher

But only one managed to select the whole podium: congratulations to Capt Cavman who has Gilbert, Vanendert and Gerrans.

Everyone who selected Gerrans picked one of the two riders to finish ahead of him.

Other point earners were Kwiatkowski (3 teams, 86 points), Geschke (2 teams, 76 pts), Gasparotto (1 team, 58 pts), Nordhaug (14pts for 2 teams) , Vorganov (8 pts, 1 team), Felline (6 pts, 1 point) and 21 five-pointers.

Perhaps inevitably, given that the leading teams spent most of their budgets on cobbled specialists, none of the high scorers in this race were in the top ten this morning. Just Some Guy, Batchuba and Oliveira break into the top ten;.NotRolfSorensen, Leadbelly and (rather dramatically leaving not only the top ten but the top twenty) RoteLanterne make space for them.

Not the big scoring day that we had last Sunday: Only Vanendert (76 points for 23 teams) and Gilbert (46 pts for 13 teams) among those who got more than 5 points were on more than a handful of teams. Main winners on the day were the three teams featuring Kwiatkowski, all of who also have Vanendert; they are followed by the 5 teams that link Vanendert and Gilbert, and then by the unique pick of Wout Poels, also in combination with Vanendert.

With one race left, this hasn't changed much at the top of the table. Those in the top 6 all had scores within 10 points of each other today, so their positions are unchanged. Evans is the Best enters the top 10 at 7th, but the rest of today's higher scorers are way down the table.

Josedin's lead looks secure: Madrazo would need a top 6 finisher who is not Vanendert in Liege, and it is hard to see that happening from among his squad. There may be some shuffling in the minor positions, but my prediction of Karlboss for the podium is one I would probably retract.

[karlboss]

There may be some shuffling in the minor positions, but my prediction of Karlboss for the podium is one I would probably retract.

Close, but will certainly fall short, needed a little good luck for Cancellara, less consistency from VanMarcke, or OPQS to share things out a little more evenly.
Like all of these games it is a pain to lose to combinations you considered succeed. Instead of Cancellara I was thinking of 2 of Vanmarcke, Stybar, Terpstra, and decided none of them were consistent enough and thought certainly Stybar and Terpstra would be slaves to Boonen.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

The Bennati/Hayman/Pozzato/Nuyens placement bet completely tanked in the cobbles races for me.

Thanks for the update Ac.

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

Hoping for a Geschke upset in LBL.
Ending in the top three would be great!

 

[MADRAZO]

"Josedin's lead looks secure: Madrazo would need a top 6 finisher who is not Vanendert in Liege, and it is hard to see that happening from among his squad. There may be some shuffling in the minor positions, but my prediction of Karlboss for the podium is one I would probably retract."


I do have a recent winner of the race in my team in Maxim Iglinskiy, but sadly it seems he is not in good classicsshape this year, but I still have a tiny hope he can make that top 6. But looks good for Josedin.

Not as bad as I thought after the cobbles debacle.
Good game, A c. Thanks.

Hoorah. Managed to stick to my third place!

Search (to whom I again extend thanks for the spreadsheet knowhow) has better skills than I have for extracting the best possible team data, so I'll leave that challenge to him.

The worst selections made (I'll allow the managers in question their anonymity)
Betancur (3 picks) 935 invested for 10 pt return
Roche (1 team) 776 for 5 pts
Uran (1 team) 742 for 0 return

Popular flops: Andy Schleck (11 teams) and Moser (10 teams), no points earned for prices of 99 points and 353 points respectively.
