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.

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.

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.

DKO: 1
Bminchow: 0.5
BR: 0.5
Gwbert: 0.5
JV: 0.5
LS: 0.5
PK: 0.5
RhD: 0.5
Yaco: 0.5
Samu: 0

Current standings after 8 races:
@Dk one 20
@yaco 15
@RedheadDane 15
@Gwbert 14

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.

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.

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