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.

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

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

Information on scoring
This stage will be scored on the following criteria:

Finish line: Points awarded for the first 20 riders over the line in a race or stage
Last man home: 10 points awarded for the last man home on a tour stage or one-day race
Breakaway bonus: 10 points to any rider in a lead breakaway group
Team bonus: 5 points to every participating rider in the winning rider's team

Scoring notes for this competition

Finish line points

50, 40, 30, 25, 20, 18, 16, 14, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1

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.

Now 11'47" Phinney took first int sprint

Break is 9:53"

Pedro Paulinho - CEF

Alessandro Proni - VIN

Maxim Belkov - KAT

Stefano Agostini - CAN

Taylor Phinney - BMC

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.

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...

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.

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....
