Update #16 - Romandie the key for jeroenk
There were only two races above 2.2 completed this week however whereas sometimes that might mean not much activity this time given some of the main protagonists, particularly in Switzerland, have been selected in this game there were plenty of points scored as well as some big movement. This is also the final update for April so we will look at the best performers of the month.

1 jeroenk 725

Jeroenk is this weeks top scorer mainly due to impressive performances in Romandie, namely a stage win and second place for Simon Yates and Fabio Felline's stage win and fourth place overall, this was backed up by Elia Viviani's stage win and some solid placings from Alexander Edmondson. Guybrush is in second place thanks to having the winners of the two biggest races finishing this week, Serge Pauwels in Yorkshire and Richie Porte in Romandie they also had a nice contribution in that race with Emanuel Buchmann's 10th place. Finishing off the podium is GP Blanco who as well as Felline had final stage winner and third place in GC, Primoz Roglic, who is looking very good value for the three people who picked him, Stefan Kung also had an input due to his breakaway stage win and points jersey.

Maaaaaaaarten is this months highest scorer, Michal Kwiatkowski's (383) strong showing in the three Ardennes races and Primoz Roglic's (408) 2 top five finishes and three stage wins across Romandie and Itzulia being the key reason although of course many riders contributed, the strong April has moved Maaaaaaaarten into the top five.

Brullnux and Falze are now both sitting just inside the top 50. Trudgin's unique pick Ion Izagirre scoring 499 points helps them make it onto the list

Once more the top two are unchanged and once more Kazistuta has closed the gap on Googolplex and is now just 60 points behind. jeroenk being the biggest scorer has really paid dividends as they are now in the final podium spot. GP Blanco wasn't quite in the high movers this week but wasn't far off as they have moved from outside the top twenty into 7th place whilst the asian is back in the top ten, the unfortunate three to drop out this week are Kryvo, fauniera and jpettersen.

Really pleased with last month, but I don't think I have a very good team for the Giro, so next month might be tough........

Disappointing week... I had high hopes for Spilak in Romandie and Kruijswijk in Yorkshire, but it looks like Spilak is past his best days, while Kruijswijk decided to rest so he DNS the last stage. Only Küng saved the week a little bit.
Giro will be very important for me with Gaviria and Kruijswijk (+ Landa, Mezgec, Martinez, Ponzi, Pelucchi).
Thank you, snccdcno!

Thank you, snccdcno!
My Giro squad:
Pelucchi: could score some points in the sprints
Dombrowski: every point he gets I consider a win, has done absolutely nothing so far this year
Foliforov: part 1 of my Russians..I hope for a stage win
Hepburn: workhorse, no expectations, maybe maybe something in the TT, but I doubt it
De Plus: domestique, maybe he gets the chance in a break, top30
Zakarin: part 2 of my Russians..Stage win + top 5 would be very nice
Mamykin: part 3 of my Russians..domestique for part 2 I guess. We'll see how far he gets
Landa: I don't see the hype about him, top5 would be great imo
Rodriguez: young Spanish climber, finished last year as a 21-year old. No great expectations, but maybe a little surprise

My team was truly weak in the cobbled Classics but now it is payback time with the Giro d'Italia.
My riders in the Corsa Rosa are:
KRUIJSWIJK Steven
YATES Adam
ROLLAND Pierre
GENIEZ Alexandre
WOODS Michael
FRAILE MATARRANZ Omar
DOMBROWSKI Joseph Lloyd
MAMYKIN Matvey
(RUFFONI Nicola)
CONTI Valerio
HAAS Nathan
PEDERSEN Mads
LUDVIGSSON Tobias
DE PLUS Laurens
Top 5 in the GC for both Kruijswijk and Adam Yates,maybe a podium spot for Steven.
Rolland should be fighting for the Maglia Azzurra as Fraile and Conti,the three of them also targeting a stage win in the mountains (like Dombrowski,Mamykin and perhaps Geniez).
Haas and Woods could be potential stage winners in the hilly stages,while Ludvigsson has the potential for a top 10 in the time trials.

I'm not sure what to think of my team. I've got got plenty of climbers who could earn some points but who could just as well underwhelm massively. At least Rolland (and to a lesser extent Carthy) looked alright during Trentino, so besides Landa and Ewan I'm also expecting something from him.

A decent team but it even could have been much better with Aru and König. With them I would have Landa, Pozzovivo, Aru and König, all as contenders for a possible top 10. Moreover I don't have any sprinter in my team which is a big disadvantage against all the teams with Gav and Ewan, who will probably get lots of points in the next three weeks.

Like Gigs, I banked on Aru and König for the Giro... well.. nevermind..
Still got a bunch of guys who got make things exciting with attacks or so
Teuns
Dillier
Ciccone
Dombrowski
Landa
Mamykin
So basically Landa for GC and everyone else either helping or joining doomed breaks. Dombo might try for a stage late in the race I guess. Is Ciccone fit enough to go for the KOM? Mamykin looked rather bad so far, or was it the perfect build-up? Dillier might try for a stage and I have no idea what to expect from Teuns...
Sprinter? Pfff... it's the Giro we are talking about...

My unique pick Filosi finally delivers in GP Lugano and doubles up his 2016 CQ score.
On the other hand,Haas messed up in the finale of Giro Stage 3 getting only a fourth place. He should have waited until the last 300 m to make his attack IMO.

Game over for me. Not having Kwiat is already a 1000+ points mistake that is impossible to overcome. While Gaviria delivered today, I was hoping Gaviria & Ewan would be on every sprinting stage podium at the Giro. Rohan Dennis is also done and any major GC points would be a pure miracle.
Other mishaps
Aru - Sick
Degenkolb - So far way behind expectations
Landa - So far way behind expectations.
Bonifazio - Where is he? I had some hopes for spring campaign (MSR) and the Giro
Oomen - Another talented youngster under-performing
Navardauskas - Sick
Viviani - SKY snub
Adrien Costa - The California snub was unexpected, thats where I was hoping to get all the points since Cali is now a WT race. Also seems that he is having some team issues as he decided to go to the PanAm games. I think he is regretting signing for Axeon
Leo Konig - Sick
Kung - Behind expectations
Dombrowski - Why do I even touch any Cannondale rider
Machado - Only picked as I thought he will be on every team
Van Den Broeck - Same as Machado, at 133 points, I thought he will be popular and could double his points even being a helper.
Muhlberger - So far under-performing
Breschel - He is done - mistake on my part
Fetancur - What was I thinking? There is no hope for this guy. He is mentally sick
Greg Daniel - Injured the first part of the season
Schachman - invisible / helper
Schlegel - Broke a collarbone early this season but made the Giro squad, hopefuly he can get in a break and score some points in the mountains
Intxuasti - Where is he?
Ponzi - Probably a dirty guy that wont deliver without a juice
Kamna - Who is that again?
Van Stayen - Did not hear his name this year. Did he quit cycling?
Arredondo - Is he the next Fatancur?
Doull - Too young for the big boy league?
Malori - Probably done for good
McNulty - Broke his hip early this season
All in all, I have six seriously sick/injured riders and one mentally sick (red) and no Kwiatkowski

Update #17 - Cheap picks provide a lot of points for GTF!
Whilst the start of the first Grand Tour of the year took most of the attention there were of course various other races going on, some of which didn’t have the strongest startlists which can often mean two things, there aren’t that many riders selected taking part but those that are have a good chance to score points, this proved the case for this week’s best performers who supplemented points in the Giro with some from across these other races.

For the second time in three weeks Geraint Too Fast is the highest scorer, their main contributions were Fernando Gaviria's stage win plus pink jersey and John Degenkolb's third place in Frankfurt (those two were ubiquitous throughout the top 10) what put them over the top were good additional points from some inexpensive picks, Richard Carapaz's 6th in Madrid, Eduard Vorganov's 5th in Azerbaidjan and unique pick Davide Orrico who finished on the podium in GP Lugano, meaning that three riders who cost a total of 24 points scored 172 this week.
In second place with a South American flavour was Jakob747 who as well as the aforementioned Ecuadorian had some solid performances in Spain from young Colombians Aldemar Reyes and Hernan Aguirre, the latter of which picked up two top ten results on GC this week. Finishing off the podium is squire who also had Carapaz and Vorganov and cemented their position with Andrea Vendrame's 5th place in Switzerland.

Googolplex's stranglehold at the top of the standings has been broken, not by Kazistuta who had been closing in recently but by last updates high scorer, jeroenk, who followed up that with a solid 42nd which was enough to put them just into the lead ahead of two non-Gaviria teams. Not much movement below that as last week’s 4th through 7th are unchanged, however Squire and fauniera both re-enter the top ten.

10 (+5) Squire 5424
Googolplex's stranglehold at the top of the standings has been broken, not by Kazistuta who had been closing in recently but by last updates high scorer, jeroenk, who followed up that with a solid 42nd which was enough to put them just into the lead ahead of two non-Gaviria teams. Not much movement below that as last week’s 4th through 7th are unchanged, however Squire and fauniera both re-enter the top ten.
