Kazistuta said:Three weeks in a row with a top10 score finally brings me in the overall top10.
I've been kicking myself a lot over my forgetting of Di Luca, but hopefully his performance in Amstel is a good indicator of his abilities in the bigger races, so he won't be a major factor in this years game.
My two bad buys are Pellizotti (should have picked Di Luca instead) and Kritskey, who was my potential scoop, but he's not even racing for Itera-Katusha atm.
A lot of my not so sure picks have zero points as well, so my placing is mainly due to the "known faces" Cunego, Ballan, Haussler, Gerrans, Nuyens, D&G, Taaramae and Boonen.
MADRAZO said:Im pretty surpriced im close to the top 10 as my team is actually doing quite horrible:
CAVENDISH Mark 1241 (horrible season so far)
RICCO Riccardo 756 (out)
CUNEGO Damiano 659 (just mediocre)
BALLAN Alessandro 474 (doing pretty well)
TAARAMÄE Rein 383 (doing pretty well)
BOZIC Borut 370 (totally surpassed by Feillu as Vacansoleil nr 1 and very dissapointing so far)
LÖFKVIST Thomas 319 (dissapointing so far)
Viviani Elia 312 (has done well but then almost dissapeared from racing)
BLANCO RODRIGUEZ David 300 (very dissapointing so far)
FELLINE Fabio 288 (set back by injury and thus very dissapointing so far)
VALLS FERRI Rafael 256 (dissapointing so far)
HAUSSLER Heinrich 251 (dissapointing so far, still a good pick)
GUARNIERI Jacopo 232 (very dissapointing so far)
NUYENS Nick 220 (finally a succesfull pick)
DUARTE AREVALO Fabio Andres 181 (doing well and a good pick but could have done better)
HOWARD Leigh 155 (dissapointing so far)
RATTO Daniele 150 (very dissapointing so far, most of all his climbing seems very stagnated)
GERRANS Simon 140 (doing well)
SAMOILAU Branislau 133 (doing horrible so far, hopefully saving his power)
DI LUCA Danilo 113 (doing very mediocre but still a good choise)
VANDE VELDE Christian 90 (too early to judge him, but decent so far)
NAVARRO GARCIA Daniel 90 (hoped for a contadorban picking him so he will not do much)
KASHECHKIN Andrey 84 (totally invisible so far)
MASCIARELLI Francesco 66 (also pretty invisible so far)
PELLIZOTTI Franco 60 (out)
SOLER HERNANDEZ Juan Mauricio 47 (also invisible and continues with the crashes)
BETANCOURT GOMEZ Carlos Alberto 45
SEELDRAEYERS Kevin 40 (doing decently)
MADRAZO RUIZ Angel 20 (doing well so far)
LOBATO DEL VALLE Juan Jose 16 (doing well so far)
SCHUMACHER Stefan 5 (mediocre but still solid choise)
GUARDINI Andrea 4 (finally someone doing very well, hopefully he will get a giro ticket)
COBO ACEBO Juan Jose 0 (decent and could not do worse than last year)
kurtinsc said:We're now reaching the point where more then a rider or two are in positive territory. My net positive riders so far:
Cobo +70 (infinite return)
Degenkolb +21 (121.53%)
Haussler +63 (135.10%)
Hermans +79 (135.43%)
Seeldrayers +39 (197.5%)
Swift +62 (130.54%)
Talansky +12 (115.79%)
My guys furthest away from breaking even:
Van den Broeck -553 (21.64%)
Van Garderen -423 (20.34%)
Keukeleire -390 (18.58%)
Danielson - 306 (3.16%)
Ciolek -301 (13.01%)
And my "yet to score a point" list:
Matt Lloyd (sigh)
Franco Pellizotti (sigh)
Romain Sicard (wth?)
Taylor Phinney (will he ever get that knee fixed?)
Jancouver said:You should do a new count and give Ballan & Cunego zero points because it is very much possible that at the end of the year you wont have any points from those two suckers.
Jakob747 said:Daniele Ratto have changed his focus somewhat MADRAZO!
He still characterizes himself as a climber/rouleur, but now says his ambition is other places than in the GT’s. As a U-23 and Junior, he always dreamt of being a similar type of rider as Ivan Basso. This winter he has put on an additional 5kilograms. His stature is now 1.80cm - 69kilograms. Together with his brother or step-brother (Different fathers!) Enrico Peruffo from Team Vorarlberg they have worked a lot on his ability as a finisheur to sharpen him even more for the hilly one-day classics. Now he aims for races such as Liege-Bastogne-Liege, San Sebastian and Lombardia etc. A class act that for sure still will have an amazing career. The GT stamp, however, even I must recognize is gone.
