    Can we really pick our teams for the FW the day after the race? Or do you know something the UCI and Eurosport don’t? Please could you confirm when on (presumably) Wednesday the transfer deadline actually is.

    Cheers,
    Simon

    Forgot to make any transfers
    Forgot to make any transfers today. Couldn’t catch up on the race as Eurosport once again wants to carry on with Tennis/Tiddly Winks or in this case two blokes in waistcoats stood around a table. But what do I find? Leaving my team as it was gained me another 44 points anyway. : )

    Reminds me of the time last summer I missed 4 days of Fantasy Cycle action to go and actually ride the Tourmalet myself to come back and find my team doing just dandy without my anxious tweaking.

    To compound my guilt I’m in the top 20% even though I didn’t realise there were 2 rider called S.Chavanel until last week…

    My stage-by-stage points, in order:

    64, 50, 47, 38, 24, 21

    At least my trajectory is consistent 😀

    I’m a bit worried though that according to my current projections, at some point in the first week of the Giro I’ll get negative points, and dip increasingly into the red as the season goes on… 😕

    they’re the race organisers though, so that’s the one that counts. Watch the vid: vino is clearly fourth.

    Vino was 4th. Eurosport called Andy Schleck as 4th at the end of the race (it was wrong on our race report too for a while) but in fact he rolled in well down the field.

    1. Philippe Gilbert
    2. Joaquim Rodriguez
    3. Samuel Sanchez
    4. Andy Schleck
    5. Igor Anton

    Boost, could be a decent scorer this time round, now on to the weekend, its not so bad because its mostly the same riders, so i should be able to field a 9 strong team

    I had Vanendert, so does that mean, i get his points plus 5 because Gilbert won?

    yup 🙂

    we will continue to do the start lists and they’ll mostly be correct. if you want to back that up with some research of your own, that’s definitely an advantage.

    bear in mind that this is only really an issue for the one-day races, once we get to the Giro the roster won’t change appreciably from day to day.
