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.

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.
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.

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?

How is that good news for Widar owners? (Mostly asking from a Spring Classics Game perspective.)
Why would that be horrible?
He has been sick, so now it probably wouldnt be a good idea anyway but it is also a very tough race with a very strong field. Him scoring anything might be slim at this stage. He might need more time to develop.
Bit of a shame he got sick before the french races last weekend, because its those sort of races he should have a chance to score points atm. Then the next step after that is probably a race like SB.
I dont know really. Kron has been decent in SB before. Maybe the poster has a fear of him crashing again or he just dont think Kron will have a chance to score points here, so it will be a "wasted" race day. Kron could have a decent chance at finishing top 30 or more, imo, and that would be a few points. Like he finished 10th in 2023, if he can repeat that it would be a good result.

Yeah, but I would consider him having been sick as part of the general bad news.
What happened to Albert Withen Philipsen in Omloop?
A pretty dissapointing result for a guy, where you hope that he will get close to 1000 points during the season...

Been little info on him going into the season. Have heard very little. Maybe some of our danish friends in here know more?
Didnt see if he got caught up in any of the multiple crashes or suffered any punctures. Was a pretty chaotic race afterall. Tough race to start your season with.
From his IG: "Nothing burns like the cold…
A rookie mistake of underdressing ruined my chances for a good race at my first @omloopnieuwsblad 🥶
Onto the next one!"
Yes, looking at teams with the best looking expensive pick (Tiberi) right now, their performance is indeed not unimportant. We have 16 teams with Tiberi, but only 8 out of these teams have also Seixas and Laporte combined.
Laporte will unfortunatly not ride today..
Tibor del Grosso will start his season in Strade this weekend. So basically one month earlier than his cross friend Nys. Hopefully I didn´t pick the wrong rider...
Are there any news about Joseph Blackmore, Pelayo Sanchez and/or Stephan Williams?
Blackmore had been in the pre-startlist for Algarve, but had been removed without explanation. About the other two I didn´t hear anything yet..
