Tour de Romandie
Right to give everyone time to plan, the tour de romandie takes place after the last classics race from 24th to 29th april.
Profiles and startlist (provisional) are up on cycling fever.
Should be good as some Giro participlants will probably be getting a run out.
If people could just let me know if they are gonna be putting in a team so i can prepare the spreadsheet.
Lucas was interested in which riders scored the most points overall, to see who was the best rider, and was there anyone who scored highly that non of us picked. so if i can im gonna try and keep scores for all riders that take part (however it my be too time consuming but i will try)
If you're new please join in and if you have questions pop them below and the forum regulars will answer as best we can.

Genuine question - what is the baseline? As in - what do transport secretaries get done on average in - say - 6 months? (Noting that the bigger...

That's a great price. Just bear in mind Import duty and handling charges will be applied pre delivery.

Houchen is utterly corrupt and morally bankrupt, as readers of Private Eye know all too well.

Next Time Brian, the Tour of California may be the next one (depends on whetehr people wish to do it while the giro is on)
if not then it will be the Tour de Suisse after that
Yes that will be interesting. Not as many sprint type stages though as in the TdF
Do I get some points for that? It'll probably be the only thing I get right this week
so NO sprint etc. is what you meant I think.
We've only got 2 riders in common (Wiggins and Vichot) in this although I did have Szymd and Spilak at first.
Rain at the moment might effect a few times. Geraint in the lead. Don't think anyone had him.
Cav now 3rd.
...and Kohler is in the break. Is there a 10pt bonus for breaks at half way?
Such service! Thanks for keeping an eye out. Here goes again:
Wiggins 38.4
De Gendt 18.4
Brajkovic 21.8
Sabatini 16.9
Rasmussen 10.1
Coppel 14.6
Porte 14.4
Machado 9.1
Spilak 5.7
= 149.4
Wiggins 38.4
Van Garderen 28.8
F Kessiakoff 22.5
T De Gendt 18.4
A Talansky 8.8
D Zabriskie 7.9
T Slagter 6.3
O Zaugg 14.6
A Vichot 4.1
149.8
here's a rough stab at it.
Wiggins 38.4

D Zabriskie 7.9

O Zaugg 14.6
A Vichot 4.1
149.8
here's a rough stab at it.
how do i filter the riders to only show swiss riders. I tried SWI and found Ben Swift . . . I don't think he was born in the shadow of the Alps
There's Tschopp, Zaugg, Elmiger, and Morabito. Steephill site has a list of riders with nat. Can't do it on the game.
If you repost a team, PLEASE, use the EDIT button underneath you post, i see a few guys now have 2 teams listed
Noooo dont use the edit button, as it stores it in the same place in the thread, and i will miss changes that way. Its easier if i just check the last team they posted as ive already put original teams in the spreadsheet.
OK - assuming Evans will be OK, my team will be as below. If he's still ill, I'll re-post tomorrow night (but will probably just straight swap for his teammate Van Garderen)...
Evans BMC 39.7
Froome SKY 35.8
