    I didn’t make any, I wasted 3

    I didn’t make any, I wasted 3 yesterday swapping Theuns for Capiot. Figured I’d wait until the TT and the final day.

    Minor crash in the final corner screwed up a lot of people.

    Hopefully Trek allow Theuns to sprint again this race rather than act as a lead out for Pedersen.

    Not to be. Not sure what was going on there. Theuns looked like he was going to go long at one point.

    They were trying to set it up for Pedersen to go long but he wasn’t on Theuns wheel.

    Looks like you were right about Allegaert and Capiot. I just brought him in for potential break action, and he was cheap. I’ll need to watch some highlights to see what happened to Jumbo again. What is their plan here? Can Teunissen go for the overall?

    Teunissen can go for overall he was leading out Groenewegen today and the plan was for him not to stop but Groenewegen to come around him. Groenewegen had to stop his sprint because the Trek rider (Mads Pedersen, I think) moved back across the road to block him.

    Allegaert won the Primus points competition in 2017 and I thought about him but saw he is now a leadout rider.

    Interesting you have Kragh Andersen in your standard, but not your purist. What’s your reasoning behind Smith, Godon, and Cardis? Here are mine.

    Standard:

    GROENEWEGEN
    BENNETT
    PHILIPSEN
    ALLEGAERT
    HALVORSEN
    THEUNS
    PLANCKAERT B.
    ASSELMAN

    Hoping for some breakaway action.

    Planckaert was a good pick I read an article saying he was tagrting doing something from the break as getting a result in the sprints was impossible.

    I had him & Theuns in my team at one stage this morning.

    Is Binck Bank is one of the races where it takes ages to get the full results ?

    Kragh Andersen was in my

    Kragh Andersen was in my purist but I dropped him after Sunweb said his primary objective in the ‘sprint’ stages was bonus seconds. That  is why he isn’t in my purist, I decided to go with Philipsen who will compete in all the sprints and could surprise in other stages.

    I brought him back into my standard team at the last second when I saw the weather at the start, I thought he should do OK if it there are echelons and Modolo wouldn’t. Theuns & Plankaert was my other option.

    When Smith has the freedom he can do OK in sprints, he also has done OK on tough stages in this race in the past too.

    Godon may sprint for AG2R and has reasonable recent form.

    Cardis may sprint for DEN and could also go in the breaks.

    I looked at Allegaert but he has been working for Capiot as a lead out recently.

    Some last minute tinkering

    Some last minute tinkering with my teams this morning –

    Standard – Kragh Andersen out, Theuns in, Theuns out, Modolo in, Modolo out, Kragh Andersen in.

    I saw some pictures from the start and it looks very windy, so I went back to Kragh Andersen despite his team saying his target in the first stages is bonus seconds at the intermediate sprints.

    I’ll probably regret that last second change.

    Standard team –

    BENNET Sam
    GROENEWEGEN
    HODEG
    PHILIPSEN
    KRAGH ANDERSEN
    SMITH D.
    CARDIS
    GODON

    Dropped Kragh Andersen & Jungels for Philipsen & Cardis this morning because I don’t think Kragh will be sprinting and I think Jungels will be working for Stybar & Gilbert rather than for himslef.

    Purist team –

    GROENEWEGEN
    BENNET Sam
    PHILIPSEN
    WELLENS
    PEDERSEN M.
    VAN BAARLE
    SMITH D.
    CARDIS

    Okay, reading that now. So the combativity jersey is a sprint jersey, with points only from intermediate sprints (the Primus ones). The red points jersey is those and the finish line points. The golden km is only for bonus seconds.

    It sounds like it.

    Simpler than last year where they had 3 intermediate sprints and 2 primus sprints at different points on the route. Double dutch cycle scoring.
