DNF Brennan

See you next year.

Hmmm, Brennan looks like he we be ok for you

 

[repre]

Mohoric has some points on the board and looked decently lively today, I can't see him flopping completely.

I'll panic if he won't top-10 Sanremo

I picked giosue epis because I thought he was Alessandro verre. I got them confused. Costly mistake as verre scored decently this week.

Back into the bottom 10. If I win this I will have to be like TGH in 2020 giro. Even Samu Cuenca will pass me soon

As long as Pogačar prefers to hang out in Italian rental homes instead of racing, I think you'll be safe.

Yeah, he looked decent today. As did Seixas yesterday.

But he was so expensive and has such a limited programme that in order to be a good pick he can't really afford a lot of DNFs in the classics. But luckily, the crash seemed to have no consequences.

Piganzoli looked decent on his first two race days for Visma and Sardegna was a strong race for me with some lightly picked riders scoring nicely.

Seixas was supreme but given he is in sooooo many squads that is of limited impact on gaining ground overall.

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.

I don't think he was particularly hurt.
Finn tends to start slow and get better as the season progresses. Coppi & Bartali will be a good test for him.

Widar not going to Strade unfortunately

 

[Berflamand]

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.

Sporza is reporting today that he wanted to attack with Van Dijke (or join in the attack) when Van Dijke bridged to MVDP and Vermeersch but he had a flat tire right at that moment. So at least it doesn't look like the bad result was due to a lack of legs.

Very good news for Widar owners.

He was on the Trofeo Laiguegilia startlist but has now disapppeared.

I have a horrible feeling Kron might be added to the startlist..

Still going to enjoy following Brennan, but increasingly less sure he can be a good pick. Australia was a bit disappointing, especially with the Surf Coast Classic being cancelled. In the next 3.5 months he currently has 5 race days scheduled, 3 of which are monuments. Presumably more will be added, but VLAB seem intent on seeing if he's the new Boonen already. We might have chosen him a year early?

 

[Netserk]

one could easily hope for more , but he has still scored a lot of points so far

i think hell also do some smaller races before suisse
