[Hugo87]

It's such a load of crap It's races like this he is supposed to score points in

Yes, to make it worse switched Jungels for him...

But long way to go.

Beginning to believe Viviani might turn out to be a good pick. Might be wrong, but he seemed to show a bit of race nous today?

I hope you are right. 10% return already and winning in a straight up sprint.

Nice 20 points for Ewan for 1st place stage 2 JHST

My riders in action next week:

Dubai Tour (2.HC)
RUFFONI Nicola
KUENG Stefan
VALGREN ANDERSEN Michael
RATTO Daniele

& I'd like to note that all 4 of my riders in Dubai finished top 15 yesterday 7, 9, 10, 15. So all in okay shape

Looks like only Valgren and Kueng (just) made the top 50

I only expected Valgren to do reasonably well on stage 3 so not sure what your point is I am a bit creeped out that you checked the results of my riders

Anyway, I came here to post: Ewan into profit

 

[LaFlorecita]

I would like that too

The wrong Janse van Rensburg won!

Just top 50 on GC score points, sorry if it freaked you out

still don't understand the point did I ever post I was going to score a bucket load of points?

Great start of the season for Boaro and now I hate myself for not picking him. I feel empty

grabbed another 3 bonus seconds.. argh! I want to switch Bobby Gesink with Manuele

Next season he WILL be on my team again... no ifs no buts. I can't stand this

 

[del1962]

So Cav has 281 points already this season, just a shame almost everybody else saw him as a bargain

I feel he's got to secure a 1000 point profit to compensate for being an ****. Which will never happen

 

[Netserk]

Two small races done and he already has more points than a monument win.

 

[Jancouver]

The wrong Janse van Rensburg won!

4th place is good for 24 points ... which is more that 20 points for winning a stage at Herald Sun Tour so I take it

 

[HelgeBlendet]

Yep, I'm starting to doubt my choice not picking him. Then again, my alternative may still outscore him.

Up until now, only Ewan and Porte perform well for my team but they are on almost every team so I won't gain any places. Dubai went pretty bad for me with 10 points score over the course of the race (K?ng+Boom). Can't wait to leave the early season behind me.

Reinardt Janse van Rensburg at 20% of his cost which is nice!

First time playing and had no idea you'd get so many points for a GC in a race like this Also have Viviani so am feeling fairly smug

Not the best team for next week. In Italy I have two riders who have actually had decent placings in this race before, but almost everybody fielded by their team has that and I'm afraid they'll be domestiquing for Petacchi, Ponzi, Gavazzi........

Qatar also probably won't score me a lot of points. However both EBH and Senechal have a decent TT so if I'm lucky it might be possible to score at least some points here.

Senechal is a pick I'm very happy about, not necessarily in this race, but in general. Surprised not a lot of people picked him. Last year as a 20 year old neo pro he did 14th in E3, 17th in Dwars door Vlaanderen, 19th in Omloop, 6th in Dunkerque, 11th in the Tour of Belgium. He's a great talent for classics + he's got a good TT which means he can do well in flattish stage races which is good for the cq rankings.
