Glad Benoot got fit for Strade and even finished 5th. My most expensive pick and a unique one this year. I still think he has a lot more potential than he already showed last year.

Jinxed it! Wawa crashed out with a concussion what a shame as he was just coming into form, hope he recovers quickly at least Zaka is still in the race for a top-10. And Cortina got a brilliant 2nd place today.LaFlorecita said:In Paris-Nice, Zakarin and my rare pick Barguil made it to the finish in the first group. They are in a good position now to finish top-15 or even top-10.

Barguil- DNF crashed out
Cavendish - DNF
Meintjes - DNF
Aru - 147
Bakelands - 140
McLay - 132
Chaves - 95
Haller 60
Kittel 59
and only one performing: Trentin 4th.
I actually beleived I could do well in Paris-Nice this year...
It's been a chaotic start to the race for sure. Seems Barguil will be out for quite a while unfortunatelyvladimir said:Great: 10 guys in Paris-Nice and this is how the day ended:

And of all riders Zakarin is still there. Anyway, Bernal is looking good and that is the main thing from my point of view.LaFlorecita said:It's been a chaotic start to the race for sure.

The CQ gods give and take. A true miracle.
Your pain is felt. It seems clear that Bakelants was a wasted pick, same with Cav. I'm still hoping Louis and Fabio are just pacing themselves for the grand tours, but i'm not hopeful. Like you, I'll just watch Trentin get me all my points and hope Bernal can take out that really tough Tour D'Italia field. That should be a fun watch.vladimir said:Great: 10 guys in Paris-Nice and this is how the day ended:
