    I noticed that these races are now included in the ‘Coming Up’ list.

    Last year all the races included in the competition were World Tour events, and Kurne-Bruxelles-Kurne was not included.

    KBK is currently on this years list despite not being a WT event. Is this correct ?

    Will Driedaagse Brugge-De Panne be included? This is WT in 2019

    Thanks

    Six the same, but I have Hivert and Clarke instead of Lambrecht and  Hirschi.

    It is often those differences that decide a race.

    Decided against Lambrecht on rumour of back pain and they will ride for Wellens maybe.  Not sure about my choice of Clarke.  Might depend on where Bettiol is after Flanders.

    Went for a couple of outside bets in Lambrecht & Smith. Not too sure about Smith as he missed Itzulia with illness but didn’t fancy picking Impey.

    I should have gone with Peron for the break as a safe bet and 10 points.

    I expect most people with enough transfers left will have 6 of the same riders.

    Aye. I see 7 picks and a guess….

    Hoping for some better luck

    Hoping for some better luck after the disaster of Paris Roubaix. Picked Kristoff and missed the entire thing as I spent the entire afternoon in the emergency dentist with the abscess from hell….the hell of the north so to speak….or rather not speak.

    Very unlucky for Van Aert, so many problems and so much energy wasted chasing back on.

    Vanmarcke with awful luck again, bike change right near the end.

    Reasonable result for me I think, I never considered Gilbert after he was ill last week.

    I wouldn’t imagine too many would’ve picked Gilbert? With 6 high scoring riders you must be near the top today. Your call on Senechal wasnt far off either.

    Agree about Sep he looked strong today. Sagan and Van aert just ran out of gas and yet again Van avermet looked amongst the best but missed the move. Not sure what happened to Naesen either after all the work his team put in.

    Quickstep bossing it again!

    Kristoff dropped and Van aert having terrible luck at the moment. This race is brutal!

    Wishing I had got Senechal in there now, I think he could be the surprise winner today.

    I was thinking the same thing, my team seemed to pick itself.

    I have 5 definites then a list of 8 for the final 3 places.

    Not sure about QS as Gilbert & Stybar have both been ill.

    What’s been wrong with them?…I seem to remember dodging Naesens points at the last race when he had been ‘ill”…he looked anything but “ill” on the day…

    Gilbert had that stomach bug and apparently Stybar has been ill too, which is why he struggled in Ronde.

    I’m not sure about picking either of them.
