And now Küng has suffered a thigh fracture. Far and away the worst start to the season in terms of injuries my team has ever had in this game...

Surgery scheduled early next week. Absolutely awful, and this is way more consequential for us Küng owners than Van Gils as Küng ownership is very low. He probably won't be back until autumn, and breaking even would be a feat in and of itself as it stands now.

All the splits in the race were formed largely by the crashes and conditions so those riders could easily bounce back in the next races. At least it’s not necessarily a sign their form is nonexistent.

Good news; Lund won the sprint for 6th.
Bad news; It was the only the sprint for 6th, especially because Laporte and De Gendt got away.
However, I have Laporte in my Spring Classics Game team.

vacek and brennan were both fine on molenberg , even if i did expect brennan to not be weaker than hagenes who helped him on the flat before the climb

Why on earth would you pick Bettiol?

 

[SafeBet]

Why on earth would you pick Bettiol?

Cause he picked him one year and Bettiol accidentally had the only consistent season in his career and now Toby thinks it's repeatable.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Why on earth would you pick Bettiol?

It's an annual tradition for Toby to do so. As is this question getting asked in response.

Anyone know what happened to Lorenzo Finn yesterday? Shipped over 9 minutes on what was supposed to be his day.

also bad in portugal

i hope to see him in good shape in april

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

Didn't Finn crash in one of the Mallorcan races? Maybe it's some worrying long term effects after that. Should probably not have raced Figueira.

 

[jsem94]

I was really considering Zana... on top of which, Vansevenant dropped an absolute stinker in Sardegna.

 

[Panda Claws]

45 points for Jackowiak

 

[tobydawq]

Why on earth would you pick Bettiol?

Because I haven't learned the concept of "kill your darlings" (and because he was consistently good in the fall and nowhere in the spring of last year).

Vacek was right behind Van der Poel on Molenberg and after that he was dropped by everyone and their dog.
