Lamperti breaks even in March with 235 pts, which does bode well for one of my rarer picks. Very happy with that.

I have just 5 riders yet to score and Bisiaux should break his duck this week. One would hope.

Not a great squad for he one dayers, but I am quite hopeful that my Catalunya guys will notch up a fair few. We'll see tomorrow I guess.

I have 10 riders yet to score, though Svarre and Wandahl are both in Catalunya.
Three of those 10 riders are yet to start their seasons, Weis being set to start his in France this weekend.

But the MTF might make me regret not picking Sepulveda instead, who I also strongly considered

Lafay being removed from startlists again. Starting to think we won't see him again.

Almost all my 'I know he's frustrating but imagine the upside' picks are conforming to expectations. I started listing them here, but realised that would mean listing more than half my team, so I stopped.

Happy to be proved wrong by Berckmoes He could have a decent spring, despite his schedule.

Catalunya

Oof. With such a strong startlist, this might not go well for those of us with underperforming riders:

O'Connor
Gaudu
Rodriguez
Gee
Steinhauser
L'Hote

Hoping Gee's mediocre performance on Thursday was just shaking off the cobwebs. He's probably my main differentiator and there's some longer climbs here which should suit him. Given their year so far, a top ten from the first three would be a big bonus.

This couldn't be going more badly. Gee and Gaudu out of it on the first day. Steinhauser seems to have a bug. All my hopes now on O'Connor, which might not make for comfortable viewing?

E3

Hagenes
Laporte
Zingle
Mohoric
Berckmoes

Pretty decent line-up. Had hoped they might parachute Brennan in to compensate for missing MSR, otherwise he's going into classics week with very few race days.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

My team for e3

Laporte
Zingle
Van barle
Fiorelli
Trarnik
Gachignard

Hoping for good performances in all 3 races tomorrow
