Ah guys this was a one day race, scores would be higher i do believe
Apologies, I've not got round to any calculating. Assume it's an unwritten rule that if you start an unofficial comp thread, you do the maths. Teams all picked for tomorrow. Mine's done, as at the Cycle Show all day.
I normally do the maths, i just haven't had time this week. I wrote above who id worked out to be the top 3 (although i could have been incorrect)
A very quick calculation tells me I got 20, 14, 12 and 1 for Betancur, GVA, Visconti and Failli, total 47. Could've sworn I picked Henao too, but in a mildly drunken haze I must've gone for Sammy instead at the last minute. Oops...
I make it Obutterwick won with 76 points followed by enrique with 68 then me with 66
57 for me, i think !
30 for Paolini and 22 for Henao + 5 for Uran winning.
not bad for only 2 riders scoring.
107 pts it would have been. Better than my 28
Dont forget
Danny Pate - 10pts for last home
2,5,8,9 for me.

No-one with the winner today then. Uran. Why didn't I stick to my Gilbert/J-Rod team. I had Paolini and Verdugo in it
http://www1.skysports.com/cycling/news/15264/8114386/?utm_source=feedbur...
Uran
Paolini
Verdugo
I guess its becasuse they were when the race wrote that promotional piece of the race, and have since dropped out.
Gilbert dropped out on Monday or Tuesday
Picked the first 9 riders that will be wearing the number 1....
Correct. Its as good a strategy as any for a forum game
Ok, I'm in. This is my team, for anyone who studied the startlist will see what I've done
Daniel Moreno
Samuel Sanchez
Alessandro Ballan
Borut Bozic
Enrico Battaglin
Koen de Kort

I had another team lined up that had Gilbert and J-Rod, but it seems far from the races claims. They are not riding
The first three rider's aint going to be in the race
5,13,38,45,87,102 and 3 non finishers
If I'd gone with my Gilbert team I would have had there
2,3,5,9,11,17,15 + Gilbert and J-Rod who weren't racing
But I had to change my mind instead of just swapping them out
You would have beat the crap out of everyone with that team!
I think that would have been more than 97 points!
Why not, back from hols and raring to go...

Cycling fever and the offical race site have start list for Garn Piemonte
http://www.cyclingfever.com/editie.html?detp=view&_ap=startlijst&editie_...
http://www.gazzetta.it/Speciali/GiroPiemonte/it/
Similar i guess, but full rosters have not been announced for either yet
Meaning the Majority of riders in
Gran Piemonte will be riding Il Lombardia, give or take a couple!
Is this just not gonna be the same as Il Lombardia?
