Decent performances by Martens, Van Avermaet and Deignan, plus a disappointing Gesink. Par of the course for me.

 

[Ferminal]

Did anyone not have Gilbert as their captain?

He's the Haussler of this game.

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

At least 6 Points for predicting Rodriguez correct on 2nd. But my big secret is why i didn´t have Gilbert anywere in the Top-5. Go see the doctor...

I did, as did about the top 50 in the league. I also had rodriguez as vice. It was taking out sanchez and putting in a damn bmc rider that cost me. Would have been second 20 pts or so behind if not for that.

 

[jaylew]

Got 6 points today.

My line-up..

A.Contador
D.Cunego
J.Rodriguez
A.Schleck
S.Sanchez

Had the exact same 5 in a different order.

 

[luckyboy]

Ooh, Frank goes ahead of Andy in the rolling CQ rankings.

 

[will10]

Vanendert is a nice pickup for one person, only cost 19 points and is in 3 figures already

 

[El Pistolero]

Gilbert already in the 4 digits.

Im very tempted to not put gilbert in my team for sunday and get two other very good quality riders in his place, and take a risk.

Depends if i want to aim for 3rd, or If i want to aim for the win. Sometimes you have to take a risk.

The other top teams will have gilbert anyway. Gamble?

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Once again, those who have Gilbert (Ingsve, Waterloo, Kazistuta, Spare Tyre, Ewbles and Cobra) were the big winners, especially with the declined Rodriguez in second. Jaylew, On3m@n@rmy and Roundabout had the main consolation point scorer in Sam Sánchez, and although Anton is on 6 lists, he didn't impact on the scoring of the frontrunners.

Top 5
Ingsve 730 (Gilbert 256, Goss 203, Boonen 140, Wiggins 74, Urán 57)
Waterloo 625 (Cancellara 236, Gilbert 256, Wiggins 74, Urán 57, Di Luca 2)
Jaylew 623 (Goss 203, T Martin 114, Sánchez 159, Tondó 90, Urán 57)
Hitch 553 (Cancellara 236, Boonen 140, Matthews 70, Urán 57, Pozzato 50)
Kazistuta 520 (Gilbert 256, Boonen 140, D Martin 72, Cunego 26, Freire 26)

I can't remember my selection now, but I had Rodriguez in first, and Sanchez and Gilbert in there. Think the other two were Bert and Gesink. so I suppose that's 9. If I'm lucky I might have had Sanchez in the right place.

****. Missed putting up the teams. Was trying to give people extra time to put in their predictions (none did) but fell asleep. Missed the damn race! Oh well thanks for steephill and last 15mins.

Will put up the teams list first then calculate the points. Watch this space.

 

[Tuarts]

Wow, a nice score see me up to 29th overall, 19th if you discount the premium teams. 3rd/5th as well in the CN leagues, quite happy.

 

[theyoungest]

I had hoped for the resurrection of Cunego in the Ardennes, but alas.

 

[hrotha]

Bad news everybody. Sicard is out for another month.

its a difficult one, not sure but I'm stuck with the same again.
not bad today and came 3rd highest in this particular race and now 22nd overall in the main league.

leading the TSF league though and 3rd in CN league so i'm happy!

 

[Parrulo]

I had hoped for the resurrection of Cunego in the Ardennes, but alas.

same for me

 

[Eric8-A]

Anton and Vandevelde for today. Bummer that Roche didn't finish.

 

[Eric8-A]

I completely forgot about one rider I sent in. I know I sent Rodriguez, Contador, Kreder, and Gregorio. I don't know who the fifth was.

If I didn't pick Gilbert, I should have.

Did the scores get updated?

 

[Tuarts]

Sorry its all belated. Teams are up in the second post, with a link to the new spreadsheet and the table is now done in the first post. Bit of a reshuffle going on at the top. No one predicted Gilbert to win but a few had him. Ferminal top scored with 15 with Merckx and lancaster getting 12 as well which boosted lancaster into outright 1st. Still looking quite close up there and as Merckx is proof, a few good runs and you've caught up to the pack.

Liege-Bastogne-Liege now!

 

[Eric8-A]

Frank was the final one. Should have picked Gilbert. I dropped to third now.

 

[Handbrake]

130 points from today but a lot less than YAGO. I think my guys have had too many Hot Cross Buns and Easter eggs. Hoping for some big points over the next 10 days

9 Starters for L-B-L;
Anton
Clement
Cunego
Di Luca
Gerrans
Lofkvist
Nuyen
Uran
Vande Velde

Romandie

Ciolek
Clement
Gusev
Myer
Renshaw
Wiggins

 

[Havetts]

What the hell? Damn forum didnt send my prediction, meh... :S

Oh well, time for LBL .

 

[will10]

Liege - Barredo(?), Devolder, Gasparotto, Ivanov, Kiryenka, Kolobnev, Moinard, Siutsou
Romandie - Gasparotto, Lorenzetto, Moinard, Renshaw, Seeldrayers, Siutsou, Wiggins

Even so, I've come to the opinion that anything more than 5 for finishing is a bonus, these guys on my team just don't seem to want to get results :roll:
