I am reading on twitter that Vos has covid. If I can still change my picks, I take VDBB and Norsgaard instead. @Samu Cuenca
Caveat: before the raceYes, everyone who's picked Vos will be allowed to swap her out.
Caveat: before the race
I swap in Balsamo for Vos. Hopefully not too late - the peloton is still largely together.
At first Vos looked as safe a bet as they come for a race like Roubaix, then she promptly got COVID at the last minute. Replaced her with Balsamo and quite literally minutes later she has a front wheel puncture and then gets DQ-d for sticky bottle when trying to come back from said puncture. Yet somehow I still end the day joint-top of our competition...
I just hope that cursing riders like that won't become a habit from now on.

I'm impressed by how you're managing to be behind someone who missed several rounds of the game.
It's just because I refuse to pick the riders everyone else does. So actually it's all your guys' fault!
Did you initially pick Vos for today?
