I thought he was still Caja Rural last year.No, he was CT last year as well.
Looks like I was lucky in this case.

Not too bad. Yes, i actually picked Simmons because i saw he was entered in a race almost every week. Even as a youngster i thought there might be points. Hopefully he is learning a lot for the second half.My team scored points this past week with Simmons, Paret-Peintre, Asgreen, Jorgenson (if seventh in a TTT actually nets points), Steimle (same situation as Jorgenson, except DQS got second), Higuita, and Hodeg.
This week, I have two riders starting in the Algarve (Pöstleberger and Arndt), five in Andalucia (Molenaar, Mas, Vanhoucke, McNulty, and “just race him everywhere” Simmons), and one at the Faune-Ardèche Classic (Paret-Peintre).
Early in the season but not loving my team. Mostly because I didn't have the guts to pick Evenepoel or Pogacar. They might rule this game. Also missed on Bagioli. I didn;t even consider him. I had him last year and didn;t really see this coming. I should have known when DQT picked him up. All I need is to have Ciccone (unique pick) win every race he enters this year (one for one) and I have a shot. Good start but we'll see how he goes when racing with Nibali.

Levasseur and De Bie for the flatter stages (any points are a bonus)
Any news about Soren Kragh Andersen? I didn’t love the pick when I made it, now I’m just hoping there won’t be a big zero next to his name in October.
Well if Vichot is getting back to his old form, this is a race he won twice so I could get a few points.
Good point, there's no way they can survive those finishes (I assumed the first stage would be flattish).I would check the profiles if I were you
Thanks, appreciate the news. Hopefully he can hit the grouns running.He's been training on Tenerife together with Tiesj Benoot. Both of them down to ride Het Nieuwsblad.
Next weeks Tour de Algarve will be very interesting for this game.
It will give us the first indication whether the game will be won by one of the 26 players who went for Evenepoel.
If it will be, you could become my main opponent.
If Evenepoel fails to live up to the hype, it's game over for both of us.
I know we all love to over-analyze early races in this game but let’s not bury a guy after a mediocre day in mid-February especially when he has spent almost all of the last decade as a world class rider. I mean it’s still so early in the season that Ben Swift is outclimbing Geraint Thomas, I wouldn't worry too much yet.Kwiatkovski is a bust
To overanalyze something you need to analyze first...I know we all love to over-analyze early races in this game but let’s not bury a guy after a mediocre day in mid-February especially when he has spent almost all of the last decade as a world class rider. I mean it’s still so early in the season that Ben Swift is outclimbing Geraint Thomas, I wouldn't worry too much yet.
With that being said please let me overanalyze Almeida’s and Evenpoel’s ride in peace
