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.

It's the mass that's the issue. Two people on a petrol powered scooter can really mess up a cyclist. Also the fact so many of the petrol scooters...

Also don't think Sky would let that happen with a break to be honest
Nah i think sky have the men to keep it controlled, but i think it was quite a poor show by the pro teams in Turkey to just leave the weaker teams to it
I may regret not picking Roy, he'll be in the break tomorrow having sat back with Cav today. I'd like to see Cav in the break tomorrow aswell, might aswell give it a dig
That would be interesting, Cav in a break.
Only had 3rd and a few minor placings. Doing well in the young rider though; 1st, 3rd and 4th.
My spreadsheet has become redundant after this tour...
Damn, i was wrong Roy not in the break, but nice to see Cav going the water bottles for the team
What did i say about back to back wins......

WHHHAAAAAAAAATTTTTT, LL was 8 seconds behind this morning, got the 10 second bonus for the win, but is still 1 second behind Wiggo??
Rabo are packing the top 10 GC, 4 in the top 7
Actually he was 11 seconds down....2nd and 5th for me and thats it....Should still retain the lead I think
An extremely pants minimum 20 today! Only got that from G.C points. No points from the stage!
Well i have 1st and thats it, a bonus for another rider, plus i have 2nd and 5th (i think) in GC, some other points here and there, gaining some points back now
All you guys with Wiggo, i'd be pray he has a good nights sleep, as he looked dead coming home today
Im not that bothered about Wiggo as Mollema is gonna bring home the bacon for me tomorrow
I doubt it, Mollema is working for my guy
LLSanchez 11 secs back, so they are correct.
I had him as well, very pleased. Also Talansky in 4th. He's doing nicely.
Great scenery, reminds me of when I went to Austria and Switzerland when I was 15. First trip abroad, by ferry and train. How things have changed! My children have been half way round the world a few times as well as quite a bit of Europe.
Looks like Luis Leon Sanchez is the main man.
Couple of decent climbs but big downhill and flat finish. More for the rouleurs than the goats. Then it's the TT, which is where my team is biased. Even Zabriskie had a dig today! Very ambitious so I'm hoping he'll go well in the TT. Don't think many have got him or Talansky.

Oh yeah, i just took what Eurosport put up, normally right, but i see above, another guy listed with his first name, The tour has his as Paterski, but his surname is Maciej. A bit like Thomas Geraint.
Like it even more when i see Rolland is now in there
Cheers Alan
I wondered what it was. I just noticed the no. 20 was different but Rolland in 14th pushed everyone else down one. I expect he's just getting ready for the Tour and there are no big uphill finishes that suit him.
We're live today..........BIG SHOCK
The wolf man has had a hair cut and beard trim, how the hell am i know going to spot Ten Dam anymore
Cav and GT out today, along with, Gianni Meersman (Lotto), Allan Davis and Daryl Impey (GreenEdge) and David Tanner (Saxo Bank)
AND Its Wiggo's birthday, happy birthday, have 3 Cat 1's
Wiggins still in contact on the descent. Talansky right near the front.
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS
3 stage winners in a row, LL Sanchez takes it again in a sprint and takes the yellow from Wiggo
LLSanchez wins!

Looking good for me to gain some points back now, LL Sanchez and Clement enjoy TT's and Rolland likes mountain TT's
Can i make it 4 stage winning riders tomorrow?
Not a great day for me. I think wiggo will win it overall as will do better than sanchez in the TT
You think? On that course i think Sanchez will have the upper hand. If not the Mollema and Clement are pretty handy aswell
My ideal would be Sanchez to win the TT and GC with Clement second in both
I don't mind if Wiggins or Sanchez wins as I've got both
Talansky will want to win the young rider jersey as well and de Gendt can be handy on an uphill TT and he's scored me a big fat 0 so far so I hope he does something. Zabriskie ok in a TT as well but what happened to van Garderen, he seems to have disappeared. Was banking on him for a good finish.
Van G had a crash today and he was struggling, i think he may have jumped off
