Vlasov in to profit but O' Connor looks a lost cause. He will struggle to break-even.

Still, with all the injured riders on basically every team this year having someone who is actually riding and scoring some points is better than nothing. Out of my expensive picks I sort of feel more comfortable with O'Connor compared to Mas and Landa so far.

Mas has the Vuelta, where he should finish high up in the GC to score some decent points.

Ya, but being scheduled for the Vuelta as well is no guarantee that he will have found any form by then either.

Charmig
Cort
Foldager
Hellemose
Honoré
Kamp
Kron

It’s not quite as sprinter-friendly a route as usual in Turkey, but if Crabbe is at a level where he can win sprints he starts from 15th wheel he could still rack up quite a few points this week.

For cycling im happy Pogacar is not riding off by himself anymore.

For this game I'm devastated.

Torn.

2nd, 3rd and 4th in Liège for my team. Such a shame they let some unknown Slovenian dude slip off the front. I'm going to need them to pay more attention from now on.

1 rider in the top 40 for me. Thank god the classics are over. Despite 2 unique pick wins in 2 days I could be bottom of the leaderboard tomorrow

Hello. I also only had one rider in the top-40.
And no wins in the last two days... actually; entire week!

DNF	Foldager Anders

GODDAMMIT, Anders. You had... one job; finishing the race so you'd break even.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Pozzovivo on 62 points after 6 race days. If he keeps up that moyenne, he might be the first-ever rider to make the optimal team who was retired at the start of the season.

Having two riders would have been impressive.

I'm hoping for a 33 rider tie in the Tour de France. Records are meant to be broken and it's, been 22 years since that Dutch race (one year for each winner).

You're my big rival for last place. I will be cheering against all danish riders from now on

That's only one more than I had.

Even though his form has not really looked impressive. Ben O'Connor is still actually 69 points ahead of where he was a year ago. That's 47% ahead.
I think he will need to top-10 a GT this season and do well in some other races to break into a slight profit.
