Boonen for 4 in a row? Who will shine in place of Cancellara? The ‘Hell of the North’ beckons.

    With Cancellara out (I’m sure we all wish him a speedy recovery) who is going to challenge OPQ and Boonen?

    I’m keeping Boonen and Pozzato and maybe Sagan if he rides, but the 4th eludes me. Thoughts anyone? Doesn’t have to be the real rider you’re going to pick if you don’t want to give too much away 😉 😉 .

    Riders should worry if I pick them.. they either crash or win. Had two crashes and 1st & 2nd last week. 4 transfers may not be enough :”(

    I’m up for having unlimited transfers and getting rid of the limits and restrictions on star riders and DSs if only for the Classics…

    It looks like I might have a greyed-out DS then, but it’s not the worst thing as only 2 of my 5 DSs have scored in any stage of the Classics so far. This is a competition where the stars really are the stars.

    I very much doubt Florencio
    I very much doubt Florencio will ride Alan. He’s not listed as a sub, So i think he’ll be resting

    And why aren’t Hoste Hoste’s
    And why aren’t Hoste Hoste’s team are not invited so he along with Canc are definitely out. We’ll see about the others in a few more days. No-one should confirm their team till Sat night unless they have to.

    I hope Florencio rides though, but it was always going to be difficult to second-guess the team managers and Canc’s injury has changed everything.

    sagan, preliminary as they dont want to over do it, but injuries mean he should ride

    again with others, they dont want to over do it, and remember the next 3 after roubaix all occur within a week!

    Its tough, i planned well though, Devolder and Sagan not racing, but planned for that and know my 4 transfers so long as no injuries occur

    Me too. I don’t get this.

    Why is Van Avermaet ‘grayed out’ in the game when he appears in the provisional start list as riding?…

    And why would Liquigas put in Sagan as a substitute instead of a primary rider?

    Voeckler, Florencio and Sabatini had a decent race at Flanders… why aren’t they riding Roubaix?…

    And why is Vandenbergh a substitute?

    And why aren’t Hoste and Devolder riding?… Crap!…

    What’s going on?…

    Oh shit. I might have 5 not in P-R and 4 transfers. Please ride Peter, forget all I said about overdoing it!

    On the leaving-it-late front; some crashes in Scheldeprijs as well. Maybe some more broken collarbones.

    Kittel won from Farrar by the way.

    I’d hold off on making any changes if you can, because i see a few riders that are in the Vuelta Ciclista al Pais Vasco, so might not ride P-R
