My team is:
Mark Cavendish (SKY)
Daniel Oss (LIQ)
Peter Sagan (LIQ)
Tom Boonen (OPQ)
Fransesco Ginanni (ASA)
Luca Paolini (KAT)
Francesco Gavazzi (AST)
Danilo Napolitano (ASA)
Mathew Hayman (SKY)
Still I feel a little worried about taking Cancellara out for Cavendish.
Hoping for a bunch finish...
So,as they cross halfway everyone in the break gets a bonus I presume?
looks like I've got 10 points in the bag already from my selection of Cheng
Mar 17, 08:34 Arthur Vichot Manuel Belletti
Mar 17, 08:34 Gianluca Maggiore Elia Favilli
Mar 17, 08:34 Fabian Cancellara Tom Boonen
As you can see had a last minute change of mind about Boonen who seems to want to peak in about 2 weeks.
Brambilla 11th Stage 2 TA. Looked at a few riders from stage 2 & 3. There are cheaper ones who came higher up, but who knows? Those stages are the best indicator of form for MSR. Bonnet came 9th and is a fraction cheaper.
Marcato 6th in Omloop, could be interesting for the next couple of races. Not sure if MSR will suit him.
Out of your last minute changes i would have kept favilli ratehr than maggiore...but who knows
Yeh i just thought with it being in Italy he may want to push for it. As for bonnet being a fraction cheaper it wouldnt really have helped anyway has i had 1.3 or something left anyway, just couldnt many otehr riders i fancied. As for marcato he has come in the top 20 here before, and if some sprinters are eliminated he could well be up there.
Its all about risk vs reward. if my team comes in and does well, i will steal a march on most others as i havn't cone for some of the safer bets that i could have
I still think Cav will win if he is there at the end, but i do fancy sagan if he isnt
Maggiore was a last minute pick due to running out of points, got 0.2 left. Main decision was Cancellara instead of Boonen. Could have had Favelli instead of Vichot but fancied one FDJ rider.
Be glad to see some actual racing now.
Hope Cav wins but they'll all be trying to kill him on the last climb. Hoping Cancellara, Sagan and Freire are in the front group and then Cav pips them at the post with Vichot 5th!! Watched Kelly catch Argentin this morning; that was a good finish!
Never seen this race before, only remember the Classics from Cycling Weekly in the mid-70s. Started the fantasy at the beginning of the Giro and got hooked.
The other teacher who does it in my school won the 5th stage of PN. Hope I can win a stage at some point, won 1 last year and =1st as well. 2nd this year is my best.
Cavendish with problems at Le Manie!
30 seconds behind the bunch now!
Doubting Cav will win now....
so a Friere win, followed by sagan and fabian, then florencio up there and the 5 points for being friere's team mate. Then marcato, brambilla and napalotinio being in the top 20
that would be perfect....
Not looking good for Cav, but it's still some way to go. Let's hope for a miracle.
4 riders with Cav now. Maybe not all lost yet.
Rider down is conscious now.
cav going backwards!
Cav & Co call it a day...why oh why did I follow the sheep !
They've got the tactics to beat him every time now and any other sprinter like Farrar who can't climb well. Still, got 3 left in the front group.
Who do people think is going to win now. I'm going for EBH even though I don't have him.
Still can't figure out the Renshaw mystery. Road.cc greyed him out on my team yesterday, so I begrudgingly subbed in Greipel. Now it looks like Renshaw is racing after all?
Griepel - so why did I transfer him out last night?
hoping for Cancellara or Oss though
Gilbert down with some others.
Not loooking so good for my team, hope marcato and brambilla are in the lead group but i dont think they are
go spartacus! - dont mess it up like last time
think rabobank may pull then back for renshaw though
damn cancellara pipped! Gerrans wins, Cacellara second Nibali third
Wow Gerrans, gutted another messed up stage for me
gerrans!
Who had Gerrans? Got 3 in the top 10 I think.
another day then for me
BMC had a bad day! Gilbert and Van Avermaet down.
Provisional
Classicissima! (Top6)
1 Simon Gerrans
2 Fabian Cancellara
3 Vincenzo Nibali
4 Peter Sagan
5 John Degenkolb
6 Filippo Pozzato
2 and 4. Glad I swapped Boonen for Cancellara with 2 mins to go!
7 Óscar Freire
8 Alessandro Ballan
9 Daniel Osss
10 Daniele Bennati
5 Italians in the top 10.
