Something special like Woods' ride yesterday?Squire said:A podium seems pretty secure for my team now, which would make me happy. It would of course be great to win it, but I need something special to overtake Ruvu75. This week was quite frustrating in that regard. Whenever I had a Taaramäe in 2nd place, Ruvu had a Gasparotto in 3rd.

Should be a very close final.
Akuryo said:Kwiatkowski into profit. Well, who'd've thought that after the Ardennes were over? Valverde would've been the better option in hindsight for the amount of points but since he was a rare pick I am still grateful he got more points than last year!

This.
Thank you skidmark.
To Valverde or not to Valverde, that is the question. I have a team with him and one without, now i just have to decide...
Squire said:This game can never get enough Klödist participants, Greg A pity I never got to pick the great Andreas for the CQ game.
So Valverde turned out to be a good, but not essential pick. And picking him meant that you probably missed out on even better picks like Alaphilippe and Thomas, because Lopez and Chaves had higher priority for most players.
I wonder how fauniera's Valverde-less team would've done. It probably would've needed Geraint Thomas in order to do significantly better.
