Annoyed that Davis and Kreuziger were 1 and 2 places respectively off getting me a vital 1 point at Romandie. However it shows Davis is quite strong to even be featuring at the end.

25 points from Costa but not enough.
 
Well, that last week was awful, pleased to have only slipped to 12th. Fingers crossed for a rebound in Romandie... I'm working out in the bush with internet access only on weekends until July, so I'll be on pins and needles every week.

I really didn't think Iglinsky, Gasparotto and Vanendert would be as good as they were this year. Well done to those who picked them.

I feel for you I was in the bush for 2 weeks just now and I ended up missing all the ardennes, Flanders and Roubaix totally and then i had to live in suspense for a few days until I was phoned the results.
Luckily it didnt turn out to bad as the pain of after much deliberation not picking Iglinsky would have been deep, luckily i have Vanendert and I believe he can progress a lot more come July and September, but Gasparatto was a pick which I never realistically considered (I did in actual fact consider at leat 92% of the riders picked around) as there were no grounds for such a perfomance and i doubt he will ever really repeat it, yet Kiserlovski who I did consider for a long time I am disappointed for not picking because he has already cost me a lot and he could be even more damaging if he does well in a GT which is looking likely considering his P-N perfomance, so right now I am just praying for Kreuziger to storm the GTs to get me points and to make sure Kiselovski doesnt get any opportunitys

People said that when he finished 3rd in Amstel ;)

I can have another amazing week with Lulu, Spilak, Porte, Rogers, Kelderman and Talansky... just wait for the ITT of tomorrow in Romandie

Still good points from Pozzato in Italy

Only Renshaw and Battaglin in Turkey

Crossed fingers for the ITT in Romandie myself, too. LL Sanchez, Rogers, Clement, Talansky, Kreuziger, Brajkovic.

Nice win from Pozzato.
 
LL Sanchez in great form this week, and Mellow Velo does not have him so it could cost him as both TeoSheva and I have him.
Bardet looking strong in Turkey but that's it (no Renshaw and Battaglin unlike TeoSheva and Mellow Velo) in this race.
Rogers, Kreuziger, Spilak and LL Sanchez, and to a lesser degree Rolland and Pinot need to perform tomorrow so I can get a shot at breaking even before the next update.
Pozzato bringing some good points too.

Yeh same here at Romandie I have got 6 or so riders still in contention but Im annoyed that Plaza and Slagter lost time today as Plaza is a good time triallist and has been looking reasonably strong.
 
That rubbish Romandie farce has meant that a few off us have now past the break even for the season point.
I was hoping for 7500 before the Giro, but after the last fortnight.....
Still, one ITT hands out hundreds and hundreds of points to a lot of folks.
Good for us, but boy, that was one awful race.
 
A rather mediocre week for me I think. A few points in Turkey, but enough for two of my riders (Hoste and Di Corrado) to go break-even. In Romandie I have 4,5,6 in the GC, but no Sanchez, Talansky or Costa. Luckily Pozzato and Ballan took some points by winning respectively GP Industria and Giro della Toscana. About 600 points or so this week. Don't know if it's good, we shall see! :)

Good week at Romandie having five guys in the Top 10. (Talansky, Porte, Rogers, Kreuziger, LuLu). Probably not enough to get back in the Top 10 but I hope to move up.

Looking forward to Giro :)

Time to pick my Giro team ...
