Per Strand Hagenes was just about the last rider I cut from the team. It will probably still cost me with the way he's riding, but so far the extent to which I've gotten away with it is incredible.

Zingle has been excellent at losing points from good scoring positions. If I was going for lanterne rouge (which is quite realistic) I would be really happy with him

It doesn't matter how many points he scores when he still scores more points than the riders I have.

I also regret picking AWP in the Spring Classics Game. I should have selected Turgis instead.

I thought you had zingle and were complaining about his bad sprint. Since I also got a cheeky 5 points from Florian , looks like you will never catch me and I can start to reel in the leaders

so annoying. Not many races where he can score left
So far, he's always done his scoring after the spring classics, so his path back to the 300s is still reasonably obvious. That being said, the chances of him surpassing that range for the first time are probably gone if he can't turn his legs into points soon.

Jesus, my riders are doing their absolute best to not score any points. You'd think Hagenes, AWP, Morgado, Page and Zingle would be a strong team for GP Denain ...

Hagenes getting completely outfoxed while his team brings the peloton back to deny him a podium.
Morgado working for his sprinter who finishes behind him in the sprint.
AWP being near the front at 2.5 km remaining and somehow finishing a minute down while his sprinter is also somehow dropped by the peloton.
Page crashing with 4km to go while sitting near the front.
Zingle scoring some points, but only at the expense of a guaranteed top 2 for Hagenes.

For Koksijde tomorrow I have AWP, Krijnsen and Page. Can't wait to see what peculiar ways they find to not score points (it's likely a sprint, so all of them will be domestiques anyway). And for how long is De Kleijn gonna breastfeed his kid?

Do we know if the kid is sick or something like that? Probably not but the silence is a bit strange.

That I really don't want to speculate about. Could be that the dad is the one who's sick. Until we know more, I reserve the right to joke about it. Hopefully everyone involved is okay.

Speaking of missing persons, I think Lafay has actually been added to a startlist, instead of just being removed from them. So maybe he'll actually make his debut in the cheese race at the end of the month.
