[bminchow]

I'm sorry mates. I dont know why i thought sunday was not one of our races. I must do better. And i really like my randominator picks too.

Kool was really a good one... could have worked out.

Don't forget that RVV is this Sunday

 

[Gwbert]

In case i forget for RVV I’m going to go for the super obvious Kopecky and Vollering.

 

[bminchow]

I dont want to forget, and there is a good start list. So I'll put this here and maybe change my mind on saturday.

Tour des Flandres
(1.WWT) :
LONGO BORGHINI Elisa
VOS Marianne

 

[Dk one]

My guesses for now: Vollering, Kopecky.

 

[yaco]

Georgi and Kopecky.

Was going to pick Faulkner but Jayco has pulled her out of the race.

 

[Põhja Konn]

Ronde:
Kopecky and ELB

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Vollering and... you know what? Let's "gamble" on Annemiek.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

My first pick is (allegedly) a despicable Dane and my second is a doctor with an impressive mane.

You still have 9 hours to make up your mind, @BR2.

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

Kopecky and AVV for me

 

[BR2]

Kopecky, Reusser

 

[bminchow]

Vollering and... you know what? Let's "gamble" on Annemiek.

guess it was a gamblle

 

[Libertine Seguros]

guess it was a gamblle

Always was. We had no idea what kind of form she may have had, and if there's one thing I've learned in the last decade it is to never write off Annemiek van Vleuten. Annoyingly I nearly picked Persico in that spot. I think the obvious Demi pick was obvious.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

I had hoped to get at least a point out of it, but I picked Cille over Kasia which turned out to be the wrong choice.

I was in transit most of yesterday so it was a bit of a rush to get a pick in in time. Given you've said before that if I fail to make a pick I get Vollering and either Cille or Kasia, I should probably not have bothered, I at least wouldn't have lost out and if the wheel came out favouring Kasia I'd even have gained.

 

[bminchow]

Did I win?

I dont know who this means

 

[Samu Cuenca]

I dont know who this means

Cecilie Uttrup Ludwig and Marlen Reusser.
Maybe some day I'll make the rhymes so vague, that they could refer to multiple riders.
It'll probably be my best chance of winning by this point

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Our picks had different levels of success in De Ronde, but at least we all got points this time around!

Paris-Roubaix is coming up on Saturday, but there's sadly not a full start list available yet.

[Libertine Seguros]

Disaster for me. Demi isn't starting so I have to pick TWO riders.

 

[Gwbert]

May change but currently Lotte and Shirin (have no idea if she’s riding but she’s looked strong and should handle the cobbles ok).

 

[BR2]

Kopecky, Longo Borghini for PR

 

[Samu Cuenca]

May change but currently Lotte and Shirin (have no idea if she’s riding but she’s looked strong and should handle the cobbles ok).

Shrin isn't on FirstCycling's provisional start list, and I saw she had been doing some TT training yesterday, so I don't think she'll ride on Saturday.

Lotte & ELB it is then!
