Losing Nys today is very unfortunate, he will be an okay pick at best and this week will be mediocre at best now.

That’s my fault, I think, for picking Nys. I had several years’ worth of good luck last year and now I am getting all of the make-up illnesses and crashes this season.

I would also accept all kinds of bad luck in the 2026 game if it means I win the 2025 as handsomely as you did last year.

And Riccitello crashes again. Hoped he'd have progressed in terms of how to ride in the peleton this year, but he seems to be getting worse.

Not many points in the baby Giro, but still quite happy today with my unique pick Pavel Novak

My only potential GC points down the drain. With Nys out as well a very poor CQ game day for my squad.

I must say i would have preferred Pithie on the startlist.

well, in the end they didn't send Welsford either. Hard to see him still turning into a good pick.

Looking like a very good week.

Riccitello the only casuality. The kid gotta stay on his bike!

Same here. We have many of the same riders scoring, with the only notable exception being that you also have Gall. Should net you the weekly win.

It's a little funny that CQ have decided to list Copenhagen Sprint as a continuation of the Odsherred Classic (which actually had a decent route by Danish standards), because they had put Copenhagen in the name despite it not actually being held there.

Gall, Kämna, TGH, Hayter and Démare gave me some points today, but that one day my team was in the top 10 is far away now.

After a slump lasting in excess of 2 months, finally a good week. Gall, Kamna and Van Wilder in Suisse. Hayter, Ganna and Vermeersch in Belgium plus few points from THG, Vernon and few others. By my rudimentary calculations that is 977 points this week. Happy with that, even if it is just temporary.

Skjelmose has a brilliant return to racing, and wins Andorra: 80 points. (Well, he won the race, I don't think the prize was becoming a Co-Prince of Andorra...)
Lund gets 5th in Copenhagen: 70 points.
Kragh gets 12th on the GC in Belgium: 29 points.
Søjberg gets 12th in Copenhagen: 27 points.
Charmig, Bjerg (apparently, he didn't OTL, nice), Johansen, Gregaard, and Kamp each get 5 points for making it over the mountains in Switzerland.
Changizi, Breiner, Pedersen, Bevort, Wallin, Stokbro, Asgreen, Foldager, Salby, and Price each get 5 points for avoiding crashes - or least getting back up again - in Copenhagen.
Nielsen gets 8 points for 23rd in Copenhagen.
Levy gets 5 points for finishing 43rd on the GC in Belgium.
And last, but... well... actually, totally least; Withen gets (*checks notes*) 1 point for finishing 14th in the Giro Next Gen.

Let's see if next week can bring some Danish Championship magic for me. Hopefully, everyone will stay off the Bike Lanes Friday.

my brillant pick Lucas Hamilton is now at 40 points for finishing all his WT races, with only a handful of non-WT race days in between. At that rate, he could actually end up in profit.

E. Hayter scoring, as the only really popular pick which I don´t have, is not good news for me. Together with Riccitello crashing out of the Tour de Suisse, these two riders had been the weak points of the week. Hopefully Riccitello will stay at least at the startlist of Sibiu, where he would be the big favourite, given the startlist...
Positive is Demare finally scoring a huge amount of points. Together with Gall and Kämna that means still 3 places up for me this week.
