Tour of Flanders
Can anyone see beyond Sagan and Degenkolb for the TDF?
I'd also go for Westra as a cheapish DS

I'd choose the Wilier. I already have their cheapest with Campag, but I covert their most expensive with Campagnolo. I'm not a racer, just like...

Yep, I didn't see that part of the story. It's an appalling case. A life ban from driving would be suitable here.

GVA 4th (I think)
Think @TERatcliffe26 might have jumped over me again. 1,2,3 for him and 1,2 for me.
Canc def broken collar bone. Big pity for him and bad news for Wiggins as Canc will have to concentrate all his efforts on the Olympic TT.
Boonen
Pozzato
Ballan
Van A
Sagan
Terpstri
Paolini
Voeckler
Breschel
Chavanel

1,2,3 and sagan was 5th so not too bad so far. Dont think i will have anyone else in the top 20, so that will be 140 points i think

Knew it was his collar bone over an hour ago
This not a huge one if its not to badly broken, its ride-able after a few weeks
I think the forum had abit of a meltdown then
Slightly, i just left my post above "spinning loading" and it posted 11 minutes after i pressed save
The whole site either had a surge of traffic or Dave pressed the off switch enraged at his team's performance
Got 1, 2, 3 and 5 too - happy in sporting terms Tommeke won, though in Fantasy terms would have been better for me if he'd come third out of that trio due to fewer people having Pozzato or Ballan

and last man home (drum roll)...
Dominique ROLLIN
I win, i had the top 9 riders today, look (and give us a news story)
http://velonews.competitor.com/2012/04/race-result/tour-of-flanders-2012...
rubbish, noone in my team from 11-20, cost myself 4 points and potential high finish taking out florencio for the stupid devolder
Did you copy my tips and not go for Cancellara, instead going for the same 4 star riders as me? knowing they would be the top 4 star riders
110 points for me... not bad. Now (with Canc out), I've got to change my plans for Paris-Roubaix.
Copy? How very dare you
Have had Boonen and Sagan in since MSR, brought Pozzato in for GW (swapped for Greg Van Avermaet).
Gave Ballan a good mention in the Flanders preview, was always going to pick him for today ahead of Freire, doping investigation or no doping investigation...
ps I almost never pick Cancellara... would rather have more points to spend on more riders who can threaten podium rather than one who'll almost always be there in a Classic. Risky strategy sometimes, especially given new points set-up, but it paid off today, sadly for bad reasons...
75 points with only 2 riders in the top 20
Yh ive had sagan all the way through, then had boonen and ballan for Gent as well, then bought in pozzato for today.
I was maintaining that ballan would come good, think all my star riders are set for next week, and will just have a play with my DS's
Not fair, my alter ego who is doing a purist team is consistently beating me in these classics.
Now if it wasn't for broken collar bones x2. i'd be up there with a 1,2 for lange and canc
I think I got 137 points. Anyone know when the scores will be updated?
133 for me
Sagan at 28, Peloton at 41. Can Sagan catch them. Think it's between the front 3 now. Just want Pozzato in front of Ballan now
@TERatcliffe26
up to 17th in th current comp not bad, and up to 25th in the overall. You remain 5 points and 1 place ahead of me in the overall Alan
Trusty old Florencio saved me!! 9th in current comp. The glory days of top 10 are back! Think I'll break open a bottle of Old Peculiar to celebrate. Also managed to cycle 11 miles more than the points I scored, the best this year so far after a period of slight illness. Played a game of 5-a-side as well so I'm on a roll.
Haven't got a clue who I'm going to put in for Canc though and I expect Sagan might be rested as the Dutch races might suit him with their uphill finishes.
