How are scores calculated? Are there two separate classifications for March predictions and pre-race predictions or are they summed up?

They are summed up. I will give an overview over the standings probably tomorrow evening.

Pre-race prediction: van der Poel

PRP: MVDP

 

[Alien Performance]

Sticking with Alaphilippe but I'm starting to realise that my picks are closer to hopes than predictions at this stage. Maybe I should have just picked Nibs and Pinot to win everything....

Milan San Remo: Van der Poel

 

[Hihope]

MSR prerace: MVDP

 

[BigCoward]

Would anyone put any money on someone other than the big 3 if all odds were the same?

 

[Bonimenier]

Points scored all around today.

 

[BlueRoads]

Points scored all around today.

I think I don't need to look at the spreadsheet to know nobody scored one single point today. I'll give you the standings later, anyway.

I still owe you the standings. No points for MSR have been scored. JungleCycle got closest with Caleb Ewan, but not more than an honourable mention for that.

1st place with 2 points overall so far:

Blanco​

Cian​

rghysens​

Hugo Koblet​

triley36​

Tonton​

Gigs_98​

2nd place with 1 point scored:

Koronin​

BlueRoads​

Kovo​

Voilà tout.
In case I make any mistakes please complain. (Points-wise, not my grammar or spelling.)
Next race: Gent-Wevelgem, in case it happens. I will post another notice two days before the event.

 

[BlueRoads]

Gent-Wevelgem on Sunday.

Pre-race Gent-Wevelgem: Wout van Aert

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Asgreen has ruined everything for me by not waiting until Sunday to win!

Guess he just has to do that too...

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Guess he just has to do that too...

Yes, but I think it will be harder for him now. I feel like he was "allowed" to go away at the end today, because he wasn't Stybar, but now the other favourites will be more aware of him in the next races. So he might have to be even stronger to win.

pre-GW: van Aert

Just realised that another complication might be the fact that it appears he's not even gonna race it.

He would have to be Chris Harper in order to win it then. At least I don't have to change my pick for tactical purposes now (although being theoretically able to score a point is also tactically smart).
