The 2023 Amy Pieters Trofee (Prediction Game WE)

[bminchow]

For PR Femmes
LONGO BORGHINI Elisa
VOS Marianne

 

[yaco]

Vos and Longo-Borghini.

 

[bminchow]

Vos and Longo-Borghini.

Well now i have to change my team

 

[Dk one]

Kopecky, Georgi

 

[Libertine Seguros]

I really, really want to go leftfield, but I just can't.

I'm going to go with Longo Borghini and Kopecky. But for the record, the wildcard I wanted to pick but just couldn't bring myself to gamble on was Floortje Mackaij.

 

[Põhja Konn]

Roubaix:

Kopecky and Balsamo

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Elise Chabbey and Elisa Longo Borghini.

@Jumbo Visma Fan :), I think you're the only one who hasn't placed your bets yet.

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

Kopecky and Balsamo.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Biggest point farm miss since the 2021 Olympics?

 

[Gwbert]

Biggest point farm miss since the 2021 Olympics?

Maybe wild card picks were the way to go…

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Biggest point farm miss since the 2021 Olympics?

Well we've just had GW, where only I scored points, but that came from a 6th place, which is obviously still better than the 7th Kopecky managed today. Even I, who likes to go left field, had really considered any of the riders in the top 6.

The recent de Panne also wasnt a huge point getter for anyone as far as I recall.

It was Gent-Wevelgem, because De Panne hasn't featured in the game yet.

Ahh

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Dk one keeps smacking us in the butt and could have got maximum points if the break hadn't succeeded in Roubaix.

The start list for Amstel Gold Race isn't confirmed yet, but the unoffical ones seem to be much more reliable than what we've seen ahead of other races.

Gwbert: 0.5
JV: 0.5

Amstel: gonna go for Vollering and Persico. Amstel is a bit of a weird one to pick and i still lack knowledge of the women’s peloton.

It's ok, I'm going for Persico as well, because of the final kilometre layout.

I'm also going for Vollering, but that's zero surprise to anybody because it's practically a guarantee at this point, I've reached the point at which I daren't not pick her for something because that's when she'll pull a hardcore Itzulia on us and win everything.

 

[yaco]

Spratt and Persico.

 

[Dk one]

Vollering and miss wheelsucker extraordinaire.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Don't forget to submit some picks, folks.

I'm going to put my money where my mouth is and say Annemiek van Vleuten and Liane Lippert.

 

[Põhja Konn]

Amstel:

Vollering and Kopecky

 

[BR2]

Vollering and Lippert.

 

[bminchow]

For bminchow at Amstel, how about
CAVALLI Marta
VAN VLEUTEN Annemiek

 

[Samu Cuenca]

At this point of the season, we now have the exact same podium as at the end of last year's competition, but Dk one still holds a healthy lead.

Next up is Flèche Wallonne on Wednesday.

Fleche…. So Vollering and Kopecky. My wildcards would be Lippert and Shirin, but I’m not brave enough!
