[EvansIsTheBest]

After a bad week (down to 40th from 16th), Gallopin performing well in Oman is great news.

there is still hope in Stybar

 

[LaFlorecita]

Yea that's right

 

[Tigerion]

A bit late but a really good week for me, 14th overall moving me into the top 25 (just)
Leigh Howard became my 3rd rider to move into positive territory. This week isn't looking so good but some early points for Kittel are promising

[Maaaaaaaarten]

Elissonde is becoming an excellent pick

 

[HelgeBlendet]

My unique pick Eijssen looking good on Green Mountain. Just picked him because I somehow wanted to gamble on a rider noone really rates as good. Don't think he will score much, but it'll be intresting to follow him more closely.

Volta ao Algarve
Kruijswijk

Well, that should move me some places....

My first 4 drafts look so much better for the early season compared to the team I submitted at the end

Kruijswijk finished almost 6 minutes down

Kruijswijk finished almost 6 minutes down

Crashed according to his Twitter. Hope it's nothing serious so he can hunt a stage win on Saturday

 

[HelgeBlendet]

Kruijswijk finished almost 6 minutes down

Yay \o/

 

[Tigerion]

Meyer out of Langkawi which is a bit of a blow to me. Hopefully that means that Weening steps up and gets the full team support. Although bringing in Davis might mean split goals and less GC focus.

 

[HelgeBlendet]

Meyer out of Langkawi [...]

50% of my Langkawi team down... Someone's trying to jinx me. There's still hope that Coquard is the new Guardini.

I have Morton and Brambilla hopefully they can do well in GC but Morton has a sinus infection I think so dunno

 

[vladimir]

Seems like Haut Var and Andalucia are my hopes for the weekend and next week. Time for guys like Anton, Kreuziger, Pinot and Taaramäe to start scoring some points
Maybe even AS and Thor van show hints of form, but they are on most teams anyway...
I only have Molard and Zakarin in Laigueglia so any points there would come as a nice surpise, and as last year I have not a single one in Langkawi...

 

[HelgeBlendet]

Haut Var
Hushovd
Oss
Schleck
Slagter
Bardet

Schleck to finish the race. Hopefully Slagter and Bardet can score some points.

Laigueglia
let's ignore those one-day italian classics all together...

Andalucia
Bobridge
Rojas Gil
Anton
Ahlstrand
Nuyens
Bole

Bobridge for the prologue and Anton maybe for the GC. Nuyens and Rojas may survive some stages.

 

[Froome19]

Schleck already DNS

 

[TeoSheva]

Schleck already DNS

maybe he get tired from the hotel to the starting line...

 

[LaFlorecita]

Schleck already DNS

wants to try something new

 

[LaFlorecita]

Styby did ok today, hope he moved up the GC

 

[LaFlorecita]

Styby 12th! and Phil also 2 spots up

 

[Jancouver]

Good to see Stybar up there with the good climbers. He is just tiny bit behind the best climbers and that is a good sign for the future.

I know it is early in the season but slowly I'm starting to regret picking up Gilbert. He was just way too expensive for my taste and I could grab several good riders for his price.

... plus the rainbow jersey curse

Don't worry, he'll win the Ardennes treble and Brabantse Pijl, just like tow years ago.
