Good so far in Poland. First Moser, and now Stybar.

I have Froome on my team. Please Sky, let this guy off the leash, and win me the Tour de France. Thank you.

[Maaaaaaaarten]

Woooo!!!! finally in the top 100 for me

 

[AntonioRossi]

di luca is on a roll

 

[skidmark]

Well, depending on how things go in Poland, I might be able to hold on this week with Di Luca doing well. The big dog is the Tour of course, and if TJVG can hold on I'll be happy, just need some stages.

As for me, I'm out of the fantasy cycling game realm for a bit to do a bike trip of my own, flying to France today. Look for a stupid looking guy in a cow costume at the top of the Peyresourde on Wednesday, and just before the barriers (probably between 2-3k to go) to Peyragudes on Thursday. And then possibly at the Basque stages of the Vuelta later on too.

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

As long as nothing unexpected happens tomorrow, I'll be getting over 600 points from Poland.

 

[gustienordic]

I had a great day today:

LLS, Henao, Moser!

 

[TeoSheva]

As long as nothing unexpected happens tomorrow, I'll be getting over 600 points from Poland.

I should get 700 points

 

[greenedge]

I m not religious but thank god for Moser- without him i would be moving down even more as my TDF is going bad and Boonen might not be doing the Olympics.

Update 28: A "Panda" at the top of the tree and skidmark leader for the 3rd week

Waiting for the next important update (that will consider the GC points from the Tour and from Poland), this week we have Panda Claws as high-scorer (thanks to a lot of names..), followed by 18-Valve and EvansIsTheBest. Geraint Too Fast is the kangaroo of the week followed by Michel and a trio.


This week high scorers
1.Panda Claws - 458
2.18-Valve. (pithy) - 448
3.EvansIsTheBest - 439
4.skidmark - 405
5.FF'Wilco - 403


This week high jumpers
1.Geraint Too Fast 8
2.Michele 6
3.FF'Wilco 5
3.Timmy-loves-Rabo 5
3. djlovesyou 5



In the top 10 we see the comeback of theyoungest and we say goodbye to AntonioRossi. Skidmark is still leading for the 3rd week in a row, while Teosheva went over Nyssinator at the 2nd place. Not many other changes, but this is "calm before the storm".


Top 10
1 (1) skidmark 11520

3 (2) Nyssinator 11383
4 (4) EvansIsTheBest 11344

[Geraint Too Fast]

My team is finally starting to do something.

 

[shalgo]

Things will probably change significantly next week, but I was curious to see at this point in the competition which picks were "necessary" ones, in that your team could not be competitive without them. To do this, I looked at the top six teams, which have distanced the rest of the field.

There were surprisingly few riders on all six teams, just Boonen, Pozzato, Peter Velits, Rogers, and Breschel.

These riders also happen to be five of the six most popular picks overall, which suggests that their presence on all six teams might in part just be coincidence (though both Boonen and Rogers are arguably "necessary," based on their success this year).

Riders who are present on five out of the six top teams are: LLS, Talansky, Demare, Davis, Iglinsky, and Sicard.

One of the riders I would have thought most likely to be necessary, Moser, is present on only three of the top six teams (although these are three of the top four).

All in all, it suggests that, a few riders aside, there are still a lot of ways to get near the top.

COST / PROFIT

[Geraint Too Fast]

As long as nothing unexpected happens tomorrow, I'll be getting over 600 points from Poland.

664 is my final tally.

 

[TeoSheva]

KWIATKOWSKI into profit

 

[AntonioRossi]

In the top 10 we see the comeback of theyoungest and we say goodbye to AntonioRossi. Skidmark is still leading for the 3rd week in a row, while Teosheva went over Nyssinator at the 2nd place. Not many other changes, but this is "calm before the storm".

nooo hopefully the tour can get me back into the to 10

 

[Mellow Velo]

Moser has just about priced himself out of next year's market, already.
Not as good as those with Henao or Kwiatowski, but hopefully Nibs and VDB will pay out some major points.
Guardini turned his visit to China into a nice profit.

Nothing is going to make up for me paying 700 points for my very own Russian mafia, though.

 

[taiwan]

I literally can't believe I selected Farrar as my big ticket rider this year.

Surely it's not true

 

[TeoSheva]

8 points more for Battaglin thanks to the DSQ of Grabowsky

 

[Eric8-A]

Tour de Wallonie

Danilo Di Luca
Martijn Maaskant
Tom Boonen
Thomas Lofkvist

 

[greenedge]

Boonen set to sweep me to Olympic gold/ Tour De Wallonie victory- pls.

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

Bouhanni was one of my best picks
