[del1962]

he started well last year though, 3rd in San Luis, 2nd in Algarve, 4th in t-a, top 5 in Amstel and Fleche after that 11th in the tour and that was about it.

 

[LaFlorecita]

28 points for Villella and 20 for Marcato, nice

Edit: and 16 for Rabottini

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

Yay 80 points for Serpa and another 28 by Villella!

Also, lulu looking good in Andalucia.

But I'll be needing those points with Uran not in my team, who is looking to do well in Oman and lots of people having picked him!

 

[LaFlorecita]

Lulu, Uran and Bertie looking good

 

[del1962]

Lulu, Uran and Bertie looking good

All them plus Porte and Fernadez (top 10 in Andulucia), (also Malori picked up some points from TT)

 

[Jancouver]

Seems like leaving LuLu out (personal reasons) was not a good idea. Well, as long I will be picking with my heart over my brain, I will never do good in this game, but again, I just cant have riders I dislike on my team

I never figured he'd do THIS well. My brain deceived me.

 

[karlboss]

Serpa is I think my most unique pick, nice to see him get so many points early. Over halfway to paying for himself already.

 

[the sceptic]

Contador, Little Ritchie and Lulu bringing in the points for me this week

I still feel like he didn't do so much special yet... If you forget about Amissa Bongo he only has 33 points. I also regret not picking him, but there's still hope he doesn't keep on scoring points at this same pace.

EDIT: Oh, I guess he kept his place high up in the GC? That makes it a different case, but still. He can turn out to be a mediocre pick, although I didn't expected him to be.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Some really cheap GC points for Betancur

Around 400 points for me this week

You can't ignore his scoring in small races like Amissa Bongo, that's precisely why he's going to be such a good pick - he'll be a leader wherever he races. Not quite a deal breaker yet I agree, but I think he is a big oversight by those (including me) who don't have him.

Should be a big shakeup in the standings this week with 3 x 2.1 GCs and 1 x 2.HC GC decided today.

 

[Cyivel]

About 250 points for me this week mainly courtesy of Uran and LuLu.

 

[del1962]

Definately my best week yet, though I suspect a few others will be the same.

Lulu, Bertie, Uran and Richie picked up points, plus bonus from Malori, Swift, Bennett and especially Reuben Fernadez who only 7 others have picked, can't see much from my team next week, anyway I need to pick my classics team

 

[Popchu]

Guess around 250 points won't be enough to keep my top ten position.

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

Lol, even with Lulu and Serpa in my team, my week was still pretty horrible. They were the only big scorers in my team this week.

Even without him being in my CQ team, Bertie winning again is nice though

Off to a poor start so far.......

 

[mutschi]

389 Points this week. I hope that this will keep me in the top ten. Durbridge scored 43 points at the Oceania Championships - that's like a gift.

It's "normal", the logic. He's versatility (4x4), strong. And he works with J.Ibarguren. ha ha ha

 

[Milanello]

I have Michal Kwiatkowski, and also N.Quintana, "el carnivor" Contador, R.Uran...
This game, it's an "objective" for me.

 

[HelgeBlendet]

Pretty bad week for me. Might hurt not picking Lulu in the end, but I couldn't force myself to pick him even if it made sense everytime I compiled a team.

Wow nice good picks

 

[skidmark]

Hmm, despite having Contador and LL Sanchez, that's pretty much it for me this week, which is pretty disappointing on the whole - there was a lot of racing going on. At least Sam Bennett finally got a podium result after two weeks of being in the mix... I picked him hoping his 'always in the mix and occasional podium' would carry over into the one day races (like, I dunno, Almeria this week?)

With Het Volk etc coming up, I'm excited for the 'real' season to come.

 

[lenissart]

Not a Good week for me ...
Many races and not a lot of results. The podium will probably get away.
