Amstel Gold Race
Ok, I'm early but we teachers are still off in North Yorks, and this is a good distraction from planning and marking.
Looking at draft team options for Sunday and there are currently 23 Dutch riders listed as potentially riding. Whilst a Dutch rider hasn't won since (E) Dekker in 2001, statistically they're the most successful nation in the race, with 17 victories. Then it's the Belgians with 11, Italians 6 and others 3 or fewer.
With Sagan as the exception, I'm confident in fielding 8 Dutch riders who could do well. I'm sure they won't all remain in my team, but could this be a year for a 'home' victory? Mollema, Terpstra etc...

Are you sure? Norway is socialist and has a very high quality of life.

Yes I like Iam too - had Lofkvist in my team until his injury. Elmiger got me good points in some races last season, could be a good outside bet!
hi cat seem at access the team i picked for todays race. I changed tie riders a couple of days ago but cant find any trace ?
Click on competititions and then spring classics and it should show it.
The Giro D'Italia,Giro Del Trentino AND Spring classics are all currently open and,when you log in it takes you straight to the Giro D'Italia.
ok will try tht thanks ray
just tried it goes to Fleche Wallonie race and still has my riders that I selected from Paris-Roubaix. I also picked a team for the Giro Trentino however that is now blank also
I've got
Standard
Sagan
Gilbert
Mollema
Henao
Vanendert
Quintana
Weening
Betancur
Paterski
Bring in Purito for the next one. Not sure how bothered he'll be about this one, more of a warm-up I think! Mollema has got good form and something has to go right for Sky eventually. Henao in good form as well. Glad Vanendert is not in the break, he can do better than that. Reckon it'll be Sagan Gilbert 1 2.
Forgot about purist!
i had a team of
Rodriguez
Mollema
Gilbert
Weening
Gasparatto
Betancur
Quintana
Nordhaug
De Clecq
yet nothings there. Is it possible for someone to check ? Is it possible to check log in times etc?
I see most people piling in with Sagan, I have him in my purist but my normal there is thus
Simon Gerrans
Gianni Meersman
Philippe Gilbert
Enrico Gasparotto
Michal Kwiatkowski
Tom Jelte Slagter
Jon Izagirre
Nairo Quintana
Pablo Lastras
Aha, another one with slagter...but no leukemams.
Purito down and quite possibly out...
Go Spilak!
Can't see many big scores today
Quite happy at dropping Sagan, God knows who finished where, but I have a few in the top 10.
I think I have 3,4,5,8
JAndrew, Leukemans came 7th
I got 2,3,4, but a lot of people would have had Weening in 6th, and Gasparotto was 8th or 9th...
4th and 6th so far for me
Well, you've got 4 in the Top 10!
Quite happy I dropped Voeckler at stupid o'clock this morning, he feel and has a broken collar bone
Some sites are giving Meersman as 5th, some are giving it to Kwiatowski
It was Kwiatowski from what I saw, but to me it doesn't matter I have both.
Just about to do the scores.
Who were in the break at half way as I missed it
Foiled again by the transfer window closing before I could get a team together. I think I had a whopping two active riders on my roster and apparently getting up at 2:30 AM isn't early enough to get in before the window closes.
Could always do it a couple of days before.....
Where are you looking at for the full results?...
um 1,3,4,8 for me so far
All change for top ten at PCS
Trade secret
That's not always an option when you have a newborn and recovering momma to take care of while getting unpacked in a new house and supervising construction on your property!
Well, if I could read Dutch I'd try their website, of course, But I'm lost there!
Whats on PCS now is more likely - there was definitely a Sky rider right up there so the initial ten on the TV must have been wrong. No sign of 11-20 yet though. I'm happy with 2,3,5 - anything else will be a bonus. J-Rod didn't look good - throws a tricky decision in there for Wednesday...
