Same, but Grégoire has been a revelation so far in this game so has made up for not picking him.
My initial conception included Van der Poel.
Later I decided that it's better to have a few good riders like Turner than one Van der Poel and a bunch of nobodies.
You can see where the problem is. It's in the riders like Turner that included Turner himself. He's got injured during his first race of the spring campaign.
Would rather have Van der Poel back now.

Strade Bianche. All right!! Lets go Turner. Wait, no that wont work. Gotta love the injuries.
Maybe one of these guys will beat MVDP?
PIDCOCK Thomas - Possibly maybe
ALAPHILIPPE Julian - Possibly maybe
SAGAN Peter - not looking good
SIMMONS Quinn - No, but top 5 maybe?
VADER Milan - No

A first and a third for his unique pick Benoot have brought BitB a first and a second here, which is the main reason he tops this table.

For the most part, the rises are modest, but some of the falls are huge.
Focus turns to stage racing (Paris-Nice and Tirreno_Adriatico) this week, but before the following weekend (which has Milan - San Remo) there are 4 relatively minor races . But still points available if you have riders in them.

Nice of Schär to finish, and at least give me some points!
Unfortunately, I am now last...

Hey, @DJ Sprtsch. I'm going to assume your "love react" to my previous post is because I got points, and not because I'm now last!
I liked not being last!
Of course, I knew the hillier races would be a problem when I decided to make a team of giants...
Very exciting to be top of the weekly table after Strade. Costa taking his good form into the classics and and sneaky performance from Kron. Bring on the next races!
Yes, it's always great to be at least not the first, but in the group of the first! And it's not good to be the last one.

No, only top ten so far.
This is going to make Milano-Torino look significant: 2 teams have Vanmarcke (6th), and I think that's all in the top ten.
I'll be back later.

Race 8: Nokere Koerse
Yep, as poor a set of scores as I thought it would be:
Salvarani has both Van Asbroeck and Welsford, otherwise which team got its points from whom should be self-evident.
Standings
A win will no longer guarantee a manager a place in the top ten, and a shared win got Vladimir a jump of 11 places, but he is just outside the cut for this table.. It is probably not worth trying to invent a tiebreaker for 3rd place in this classification.
Main points
Nothing happening at the top: only 23 points scored by teams in the top ten.
Denain tomorrow, Koksijde on Friday: will either of those yield many more points than today's events?

Race 9: Denain
Guillaume Van Kiersbulck got 18th place, and therefore 8 points, for both DJW and Vladimir. They also get 65 green points each. That's it.

Very few main game points can still bring something meaningful in this category:
Main standings (top ten)
Even only 8 points can sometimes be enugh to move you up a couple of places. But not for Vladimir, although he is at least a bit nearer to 25th, and a bit farther from 27th, than this morning.
Maybe Koksijde tomorrow will reward a few more of us.

Salvarani has 2 race wins and a shared win. It's good to see this classification not being lead by those at the top of the main table: that sort of justifies its existence.
DJSprtsch is one of the Dekker teams in joint 6th today, meaning that only Redhead Dane is not off the mark yet, still waiting for a top ten placing.

I do have Welsford and Tom Van Asbroeck, who scored today, which adds up to 74 points for the race.

I didn't actually look at your team when I typed that, I just thought "If he has 74 points, who must be on his team other than Welsford?" and miscalcuated miserably. No error in your points.I believe there must be a mistake somewhere. Malucelli is not on my team

Main Game
Huge jumps up the table for Evans and Salvarani, but even so neither is the highest of the new top ten teams. The top three remain as they were, but now 6 teams within 100 points.

Spreadsheet
Me and @EvansIsTheBest both have MVDP and Casper Pedersen, but that is where our similarities end so our are teams are quite different!
It might be our teams who will fight for the win in the end, if MVDP keeps delivering these type of performances in the next few weeks.

Well I built my team as an hedge against my main game team so at least one of them wouldn't suck. Considering how badly my main team is doing I should be running away from the competition here
Looking at your team, you went for a few more sprinters that score in the smaller classics (Van Asbroeck, Welsford, Milan...) but there aren't many of those left so you probably missed the chance to build a buffer. As we get to the bigger events those guys will probably get squeezed out in a way Alaphilippe or Pidcock won't. At the same time my team is super top heavy and there is a ton of deadweight so all it takes is one of MVDP, Alaphilippe or Pidcock not delivering like they should and I'm toast.
Of course all this is moot if Van der Poel can't do enough to push our teams towards the top.

Classic Brugge-De Panne, Scheldeprijs and Eschborn-Frankfurt are three races that are still left where the sprinters will most likely have an opportunity.
As you say, I could need a buffer if Ala is very good in the Ardennes or scores points in the cobbles races that he is listed to do before that. Pidcock may get back as well and pick up where he left off. You also have Asgreen, who may have a good day soon. It will be hard to make up those points, if they deliver big time.
I hope Turner is back in time for E3, Dwars and Ronde. Been handicapped by his absence so far.
For Ardennes there is Bagioli, Costa and Gregoire.
All goes out the window, of course, if MVDP checks out and does nothing from here and on.
You know what the problem with making a team of giants is?
It seems they are quite often put on domestique duties.

You should tell them to use their physical appearance to intimidate their DSs into giving them a free role.
