In addition to the others I wrote about, Benoot could definitely still get some top 10s in Belgian 1.1s and Woods could also get some in the Italian semi-classics.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Kelderman with the worlds itt and possible italian spring could come really close as well

 

[ice&fire]

Meintjes at the back of the group as usual

 

[classicomano]

Benoot just leveled with Izagirre, hes gonna boss this.

This race is close only because Benoot has also had another 12 races where he finished between 11th and 15th; he has near misses even from the top ten.

Izagirre was leading him 20-13 before crashing out of the Tour prologue. It's taken Benoot 3 months to catch up.

I think there was a reasonably good chance that Izaguirre could have managed a win without the tour crash, it would have been a shame for him to win this in my opinion. Of course he still could

Thanks for all the updates valentius borealis, I love this competition.

Yes, Izagirre had five wins last year. He probably would have won something. Benoot, however...he is such a good rider, but he really doesn't seem to know how to win yet.

 

[classicomano]

Barbier is out! Thats a surprise.

[RedheadDane]

So... while Izagirre and Benoot were watching each other, Gavazzi sneakily went on the attack?

Some marquis names: I hope that Benoot gets one early in '18. What a waste so far, with so much talent. Ion...OK. SK, bad season definitely. Roche, Vakoc, Carapaz...Meintjes . Overrated? Sam Oomen, too bad, but it will come. Vanmarcke, that he couldn't win just one, I can't believe it. Yikes. Wilco (like Vanmarcke), you suck wheels, second is the best that you'll get. So much for the new Merckx ...
