On this historic occasion I downloaded the spreadsheet which I do not do very often only to find out that I have De Gendt on my team! I totally forgot about him, I probably considered him as such an obvious choice that I overlooked him each time I looked at composition of my team. It's really funny because when he went to win Mountains classification at Paris-Nice I remember thinking to myself, oh not him, he is probably on almost everyone's team except mine and he is going to earn so many easy points for the jersey... What a pleasant surprise that he earned those points also for my team![]()
As if that was not enough, I discovered another mystery about my team. The spreadsheet says my rider Pieter Vanspeybroeck scored 0 points, although I remember him scoring some points somewhere. As it turned out, CQ renamed him between 2014 and 2015 seasons! This year he appears in their files as Pieter Vanspeybrouck, so skidmark, if you could please add his 15 points to my score(and of course also to Nicosix who has him too)
Actually, Ledanois and Ewan almost managed to outscore your Flanders teamskidmark said:Paris-Camembert I have Ledanois, Rioja I have Ewan. But who are we kidding? It's all about Flanders.
Just wanted to post current Top10 which was dropped from skidmark's weekly update:skidmark said:Update #13: EvansIsTheBest is the best, leaderboard shakes up again
As has been the case the last few weeks, there is some considerable shakeup in the overall. After dropping out of top spot last week, Geraint Too Fast rides a solid performance from Sagan (even if the greater context of his season is lukewarm for those who have him) to retake a slim 17-point lead over now-2nd place PeterB. greenedge stands firm in third place, while 7th-on-the-week derrudi and snccdcno ride into the top 10. Kazistuta and skidmark (again! ugh) fall out of the top 10. For those who are interested, our two 'popular riders' teams performed rather poorly this week (90th and 134th), and would be in 61st (Froome team) and 83rd (Rodriguez team) overall respectively. Conclusion - we're not that smart! Yet.
The end of the cobbled classics come this week, so for those who have a cobbles-heavy team, enjoy it while you can, and for those who have a climber-heavy team, get ready!
