Good start for Sheffield, I expect him to take a few ITT wins this year. Congrats to Bettiol though.

Schachmann was okay, not many riders were faster in his slot.Great start with Bettiol obviously but really annoying with Honoré's crashes. Schachmann didn't do well, either. Yates was okay but rode at the worst time.

Now that was lucky, but also a nice unique pick. Way to go!The rain gods are apparently rooting for my team. Not too bad to have Bettiol as a unique pick, it seems like

Yes, he crashed two times. So did his teammate, Sean Quinn.
It's probably because they were inspired by their teammate Bissegger who did the same on the opening stage of the Tour last year.

I'm really curious to see what he can do in the classics this year.Honestly this looks extremely promising for Sheffield's season in my eyes.

Shame about Honoré's crash and time loss, but if there's one thing this game has taught me, it is that everyone will have some bad luck at some point.
I am the other one with Bettiol, and from being very excited, I am now mostly concerned. The last time I remember he cramped was in the Olympics, and after that he didn't race for five months. Hope it's not that serious now...There are two teams with Bettiol, according to the spreadsheet.

Well, his autoimmune issues affect his digestive track so it's not difficult to imagine his nutrient absorbtion capabilities may be affected at times, which could cause cramping, but that's my speculation.I think he's just very prone to cramping. It also happened in Strade Bianche one year. A bit annoying really but not too worrying, I think (and hope).
Not different after today either.Still 0.
