I wonder how many have Cancellara in there Purist team like me Yes its a risk, but I still think if he finishes top 3 then he will outscore many of the other options I had for riders riding more than one race

I just couldn't bring myself I pick him. No doubting the talent, but just not seen the form.

Toyed with Fab for ages and in the end let my head rule my heart.....So how my season is going Fab is a cert for a podium....

I went for:

*Standard

Nibali(I think it's his today)
Sagan
Gasparotto(just watched last years Amstel)
Cunego
Cummings
Montaguti
Moser
Phinney
Nocentini

*Purist

Valverde
Sagan
Belletti
Gasparotto
Blythe
Cummings
Cunego
Niemiec
Gadret

The bottom 7 are riding all 3 and Sagan/Valverde have winning chances in both of the 2 they're riding.

A lot of the same names cropping up - as with my teams as well...

Standard - Pellizotti, Reda, Marcato, Sagan, Nocentini, van Avermaet, Ponzi, Battaglin (always fancy one wildcard for the break), Caruso (the Cannondale one)

Purist - Pellizotti, Reda, Marcato, Sagan, van Avermaet, Ponzi, Valverde, Gasparotto, Pozzato

TER - If Cancellara does come top 3, I'd say he will have been worth picking - I had him in my purist team until the third race was added, then I had a bit of a brain-melt and totally changed my teams for no discernible reason!

Tried to avoid people who haven't ridden much so far this season (ie Moser), although a couple of my picks above definitely contradict that tactic...

Well it seems if my purist team is doing well, then its a pick that could make or break it for me. He has that knack of putting in a performance when its a race he wants to do well in.

Only giving you my Purist squad

Manuel Belletti
Marco Frapporti
Enrico Gasparotto
Valerio Agnoli
Adam Blythe
Steven Cummings
Alejandro Valverde
Mauro Santambrogio

Purist:

Enrico Gasparotto
Peter Sagan
Paolo Tiralongo
Rinaldo Nocentini
Marco Marcato
Matteo Rabottini

Having a play with the not so obvious riders

Break is 9:53"

Pedro Paulinho - CEF

Alessandro Proni - VIN

Maxim Belkov - KAT

Stefano Agostini - CAN

Taylor Phinney - BMC

Now 11'47" Phinney took first int sprint

Phinney et al won't get sprint points but assuming they stay out they will get 10 points for the breakaway. I reckon Phinney is just testing his legs ahead of Paris-Roubaix and won't be contesting the win today.

No sprint points in the game, just 10 breakaway points for everyone in the group if they are still away at halfway, which id imagine so

i know theres no sprint points, just a progress report thats all!

Give me some credit been playing this long enough....

Apologies

Roubaix's 5 weeks away?

Aye, but it's not too early to practice your long breaks

I think I might stick Phinney in my provisional team for PR, think he's becoming the new Cancellara, a great TTer that can do the long breakaway wins in the classics.

Standard;

Sagan
Nibali
GVA
Santambrogio
Ulissi
Nocentini
Reda
Rubiano
Cunego

Same thinking here. Purist;

Cancellara
Sagan
GVA
Cunego
Pozzato
Gatto
Santambrogio
Reda
Battaglin

I suppose he has got long legs to stretch

Over half way now so at least I won't get zero points today

Gap at 8:50 with 81km to go

All coming back together

So if they all finish, these guys will all score 10.

Pedro Paulinho
Alessandro Proni
Maxim Belkov
Stefano Agostini
Taylor Phinney

I just hope the results are up sharpish, Got a bus to catch at half 3

4 of mine in there, hoping for good things

Sagan wins
Ulissi 2nd
Nocentini 3rd

I have a couple of them. One I thought no-one would pick.....Scarponi

Well that means it was a good choice for my purist too
Roping Reda came high up. Looks like I could have 5 in the top 11 for my standard team, and 2 for my purist team

Ok, around 40 minutes to find the results and get them up before I HAVE to leave, I will be able to do some wifi stuff hopefully some point between then and 7am when I get to London.

But I won't be removing riders until tomorrow

Ullisi 2nd, Nocentini 3rd

Ok, I have to go now, but when the 11-20 comes up, if someone would click on my name and paste the top 20 in a message to me

Then I'll go check our breakaway guys. So scores will be up a little later, but before 7pm

Purist- 1, 7, 9, 1 in Break and LR Badge

FINALLY I HIT SOME FORM

Ouch

When the overall leader gets a stage win then we're all in trouble!!

At least he hasn't caught me yet in this comp, need to get my stage win for Strade to keep up

1st and a couple of placings. I really suck at one day races.

Roll on the Giro.

That's why I put him in! More likely to put in the effort if he's only racing once. Got 1, 2 and a few others in the top 10. 140 points puts me 3rd. Already done my team for Strade Bianche. I hope no-one drops out but busy tomorrow. Researching Paris-Nice now.

After all that Ive axed Cunego for tomorrow anyway, school boy error! Those extra 40 points and I would have been 1st not 6th, but hey 6th is still decent

Hats off wig_Billy does it again

Yep. We can only look on in wonder.
