Very good week in the end with Plapp also finishing 2nd in the UAE Tour!
Two races coming up midweek before the big one next weekend!
Le Samyn
ASGREEN Kasper
MIHKELS Madis
VAN UDEN Casper
DEKKER David
Would be nice if Mihkels could start showing something. It is a pretty weak field here and a good performance would be welcome. Make me feel a little bit better about the pick. The same goes for Van Uden.
Trofeo Laigueglia
PICCOLO Andrea
HAYTER Leo
MARTINEZ Lenny
GRÉGOIRE Romain
Should be a race very well suited to Piccolo. Question is his form atm. A good performance would be welcome. Grégoire looks like a solid pick. Unless he got too tired in the wind today in France it should be a race thats suits him as well. Martinez looks very capable also. Hayter hasnt showed much yet.
Startlist still missing a lot of names, maybe someone more could still be added.
As expected, not many points in Le Samyn. Asgreen unfortunately crashed out, but is so popular it doesnt really matter. Mihkels and Van Uden need more time, but hopefully improves during the season.
Grégoire is great and Piccolo scored some points as well, keep it going.
My team was 6th in the last update, so just shy of getting mentioned.
Great weekend ahead with one of the first real highlights of the year in SB and then there are more races ahead!
Strade Bianche
HONORÉ Mikkel Frølich
GRÉGOIRE Romain
PIDCOCK Thomas
TULETT Ben
ALAPHILIPPE Julian
BAGIOLI Andrea
BRENNER Marco
SIMMONS Quinn
Decent line-up, but not comparable to some that has been posted already. Would be a bit disappointed not to see anyone out of these riders finish in the top 10.
Grand Prix Criquielion/Grote prijs Jean - Pierre Monseré
VAN UDEN Casper
MIHKELS Madis
Type of races they will hopefully start to score points in sooner rather than later. GP Criquielion has been upgraded from 1.2 to 1.1, so a few more points up for grab there.
Paris-Nice
MILAN Jonathan
SCHACHMANN Maximilian
PICCOLO Andrea
SIVAKOV Pavel
DE GENDT Aimé
MARIT Arne
GARCÍA CORTINA Iván
ASGREEN Kasper
DEKKER David
Hopefully Sivakov could be able to score some GC-points. Schachmann has won this race twice, but it will be very difficult this time around and with his troubles in the past year. It is not really that important for the game how he does, when he is that popular, but a good performance would be nice to see. Maybe the others could score some points going for stages.
Tirreno-Adriatico
PIDCOCK Thomas
KELDERMAN Wilco
ALAPHILIPPE Julian
BAGIOLI Andrea
SIMMONS Quinn
HONORÉ Mikkel Frølich
Startlist not completed, so a few riders could still be added, but current line-up is good. Quality over quantity. Most eager to see how Kelderman does here. Would be nice if he could be off to a good start.
