Tour de Romandie
Right to give everyone time to plan, the tour de romandie takes place after the last classics race from 24th to 29th april.
Profiles and startlist (provisional) are up on cycling fever.
Should be good as some Giro participlants will probably be getting a run out.
If people could just let me know if they are gonna be putting in a team so i can prepare the spreadsheet.
Lucas was interested in which riders scored the most points overall, to see who was the best rider, and was there anyone who scored highly that non of us picked. so if i can im gonna try and keep scores for all riders that take part (however it my be too time consuming but i will try)
If you're new please join in and if you have questions pop them below and the forum regulars will answer as best we can.

Points will probably be up tomorrow morning (Im playing Tennis and Badminton from now, so wont be able to do them till morning)
A massive 23 I think.
Shame about the rain. Not to take anything away from GT (his av speed doesn't lie), but it would have been great to see the (rest of the) specialists battling it out. Cav seems in good shape though. Surely the winner tomorrow?
If he gets to the finish. Two cat 2s and a cat 3.
GT?? Who's that, if you look at my screen cap from the offical app, his name is now Thomas Geraint
The reason he won and would have even if it stayed dry for the whole TT, as he said in an interview, he's just come off the back of track cycling where ALL he's been doing is working on his 4km speed.

23 you were lucky, I;ve got wiggins and maybe some same team points for wiggins and porte:D
But I biased my team towards TT riders, van Garderen, LL Sanchez, de Gendt but I think they all went late. They should go better on the long one at the end though.
But the scores might be a bit Amstelish
Happy with 37ish, given my team wasn't too TT-heavy. Hoping Davis and Matthews can pick up decent points in the next 2 days, assuming Sky chase the breakaways for me!
Van Garderen wont be going better on the final TT, its a bit steep for him
A whopping 0 points for me. Didn't realize it was so short might have loaded up more sprinters. But come on Lulu, TJVG, and Fuglsang should have done better. At least one in the top 20.
2nd 4th 11th 22nd 23rd not too bad...
...and Kohler is in the break. Is there a 10pt bonus for breaks at half way?
No break away bonus
Mountain/sprint points though
Westra and Menchov already abandoned.
Rather than pull it up in the points thread, how come i scored 26? I though i only had 17th place
You had Navardauskas 17th - 4 points, Froome for Sky - 5 points and Clement 8th - 14 points and 3 for GC
Oh yeah, my bad, i saved the wrong team in my own stats, lol, rather than the one i had published on here
Interesting, Cav should be wearing green, but his world champ jersey trumps that. So Sky are riding with 3 riders in Sky kit, GT in yellow, Rogers in green, Wiggo in British champ and Cav in World champ
Interesting - I wonder if he gets the choice? Or does it depend on the jersey/race? I thought I remembered that a World Champ took yellow in the Tour recently (which must have been Evans) and wore yellow rather than the Rainbow Bands. Given the choice, I can see why he'd pick yellow, and why Cav would pick the WC jersey here...
I think its only because its the first stage and he's not the leader of that classement.
If he was the overall leader he would have to wear it. But national and world jersey's trump class jersey's if your not leading
So say for instance in the Tour De France
Leader in Yellow was Cav, but he also lead the points for Green
Second in the points was Wiggo, third was Rojas and fourth was Gilbert, they all hold national jersey's, so i don't know if they get the choice of being in Green or it would go to the next placed man
Clement just got you another 6 points I think Gkam
Can I ask what your team was that you thought you had?
Wiggins won
Wiggins won
woo hoo Wiggo !
