Velonews says he's skipping it to rest for Liège: http://velonews.competitor.com/2013/04/news/road/course-preview-its-the-...
Usual strife in picking a team. I basically have to self-brainwash everytime I umm and aah over dropping picks, in case I end up cursing myself: "dammit, I almost picked him!"
First draft for Fleche Wallonne has enough Colombians to storm Tony Montana's mansion. Might need a rethink.
Honestly, read this and literally lol'd
"We're currently updating the game, please check back soon"
The game is taking a long time to update tonight. Can't get in to pick my teams for tomorrow
Yeah, I'm knackered, but might not have time tomorrow so need to wait it out. 2 greyed out for Fleche, and at least 4 transfers to make for Trentino!
Is Sagan Racing and all who's on the riders list or do I need to look up the start list somewhere else? I was doing alright for a beginner till Amstel Gold then my luck ran out!
Yeah, looks like Sagan is racing now, I think they've updated the rider's list to latest info so you shouldn't need to check elsewhere...
Apologies, it must have been my fault when I was re-updating Trentino, however I don't know why it took so long
Still can't get in to register my FW team!
No worries TER! Bit tired now tho
Picked my Fleche team early, but then had 2 riders drop out (sod's law), hence trying to get back in last night.
Mainly gone with explosive climbers for the steep finish, rather than canny Dutch/Belgian guys that know the territory - could well be a mistake. Quintana was the one guy I think I might regret avoiding tho'...
Have a gut feeling today is going to go really badly, my Trentino team especially looks really poor! For Fleche...
Gilbert
Ulissi
Valverde
Henao
G Caruso
Anton
J Simon
Betancur
Denifl (random guess for the break...)
HELP!! Playing Standard game but only option last night (when game not available due to updating) and this morning is to pick a whole new Giro team. Where has Flèche gone? Where have my Amstel team gone?
Chris goto the competitions tab and select spring classics! And good luck
Bot of a gamble for fw today...go Valverde...
Thinking jrod may take it easy after his bump.
Agreed.....made the same switch......So on my current form 'Purito',is a certainty for the win today...lol
I've taken the gamble of leaving out sagan and purito, meaning I get a whole squad of possible top 10's. fingers crossed:
gilbert
valverde
henao
quintana
J. vanendert
betancur
igor anton
dan martin
cunego
Did you manage to get in? It was fine for me at that time, and I wasn't running any updates
Same, took out Sagan and avoided J-Rod (he is in my purist team though)
My team looks like this, 6 big hitters and 3 that cost 3 credits but have form or could go in the break.
Gilbert
Valverde
Henao
Mollema
Martin
Kwiatkowski
Weening
Betancur
Pichon
That was my thinking too, and then at the last minute I took out Quintana for Denifl Seems pretty stoopid now, my soft spot for IAM might be my undoing. Go Denifl! (Whoever you are...)
my money is on quintana there- now watch denilf win from a reakaway ...
Yes very tempted to go with Quintana aswell so que the regrets tonight!
Valverde
Gilbert
Wegmann
Albasini
J Vanendert
Moser
Betancur
Ulissi
Kiryenka
Dropped Sagan and J-Rod is in my purist so 1,2,3 for them and quintana!
Daniele Pietropolli non starter
Luckily did mine earlier in the evening. I need a good race, been a while since I had one as your catching up with me shows!
Martin
Gilbert
Anton
Henao
Kwiatkowski
Quintana
Weening
G Caruso
Valverde
Is my team for Fleche. Need good performances from Quintana, Kwiatkowski and Martin.
I've got both of you in my sights
Wrong IAM rider in the break! Lang and Devillers have 3 mins on the peloton, van Goolen bridging the gap...
It ran out for a lot of people Abbie so don't get disheartened......not easy to pick Kreuziger for the one stage per season when he justifies his 20+ credit rating......I can remember him winning a Giro D'Italia mountain stage last season after disappointing everybody(especially the Astana hierarchy who switched to Tiralongo as team leader halfway through))with his performance.
I got Valverde in as well but for Sagan......I think J-Rod may be playing down his chances as if he wasn't fit surely Katusha would have thrown Spilak in?
J-Rod
Valverde
Gilbert
Porte
Quintana
Cunego(running out of chances with me!!)
Fuglsang
Betancur
Weening
All 9 of my purists are riding as well
J-Rod,Henao,Weening,Betancur,Slagter,Gilbert,Cunego,Quintana,Moser
I wouldn't mind betting that Betancur or Weening are the most popular riders today.
I've given up on my Purist for the classics, but standard is as follows:
Ulissi
Gilbert
Weening
Purito
Albasini
Henao
Anton
Quintana
Betancur
Still three Colombians, my first draft had five. Ummed and ahhed particularly over Valverde/Hesjedal/Uran over Rodruiguez, Kwiatkowksi over Albasini, and Nordhaug over Ulissi. Just to pre-empt my inevitable failures...
Also considered Chalapud from Team Colombia who seems to be in decent form - but stuck with Weening on the grounds that a grizzled old Dutchman will probably do better than a fresh-faced South American.
And as you can see by some of the teams posted the faith in him repeating is very thin on the ground!!
