Big performance from giosue epis to surf the wheels and finish top 20 in the trofeo Palma - a big 5 points!!! Every point will count in my lantern rouge battle with @Samu Cuenca - good ride from my star boy.

When Pogačar starts glowing as much as his hair, your team will be begging mine for a pair of their sunglasses.

Well that's because your team is doing quite well. I guess is only January though

Its clear that pocagar is due an 'anus horribilus'. That's why I toyed with the idea of picking him but went with Edoardo zambanini instead. Let's see who has more points in October

I think Pogacar will have more points than Zambanini by October.

It will depend on whether his new hairdo makes him smack that or he'll lose himself 8 miles into his first race of the season.

He will go until he collapses

Lamperti and Thijssen only managing 12th and a relegation respectively from groups where I could count the number of sprinters on one hand today was also quite disappointing

Lamperti made a strong attack in the closing kilometres, so no wonder he was a bit spent for the sprint. He did at least look very good. Was also among the strongest on the climb. And him attacking kinda underpins what we were discussing earlier about him not being an out-and-out sprinter, not even in his own eyes apparently.

Buitrago looked like comfortably the strongest rider in the race, so maybe there's still hope for my unique pick. But because of his (presumably) bad day in TDU and the Cadel race not suiting him, it hasn't resulted in any meaningful points yet. Which is what I want, rather than him looking like a million dollars and finishing 18th.
