    Not sure if you've seen it but in case you lot haven't, I've challenged TERatcliffe this year to pick a squad of riders and try and run a 'proper' fantasy team through the season.

    We'll both be blogging about it through the year and the first posts are up (/blog).  Anyway, you lot are free to pick your own squads too and keep us all informed of how you're doing either on here or in the blog comments.  I've set up a league and if you've got any questions, let me know.

    EDIT

    If you want to take part the list of rider values you'll need is here http://db.tt/1rO7IFhq and check out my post here /content/blog/74271-big-unveil for rules etc.

    RUNNING UPDATE:

    World Tour Points – 1037 total / 851 based on top 5 riders

    Fantasy points total: 2583

    Ahem, I don’t know what you’re talking about, he’s in my team!

    You mean now you have swapped both Vanendert and Nordhaug for Betancurt and Lutsenko! 👿 :B

    Cancellara has been great for
    Cancellara has been great for me, Boonen has been a bust. But that’s why I picked all of the major classics riders, to cover myself in case something happened. Another win from Cancellara on Sunday and I’ll consider my classics season a success whatever happens in the Ardennes.

    EDIT: Also, a win for Durbridge at Circuit Cycliste Sarthe is nice as so far he hadn’t done much this season. Shame it’s not WT.

    In the meantime I get 1st and 2nd at a non WT, non Fantasy race…

    After slipping up on day one, Fuglsang has been careful to not accidentally end up in the top ten and score some more WT points. The rest of the team seem to be happy supporting this by also riding just outside the top 20.

    Thanks heavens for Fabian. I only hope falling yesterday hasn’t spoilt this weekend.

    And Laurent Pichon keeps churning out top 10s in the Continental 1 days. I’m trying to work out if that’s promising or not given that he’s 26 and in his 4th season. At least he’s consistent, and showing the jersey in places I hadn’t anticipated.

    I’m not overly bothered actually, its the WT points that matter most and that’s done on my 12 top riders so he’ll count for that.

    Its annoying that I’ve been picking him only for him to score big when I don’t but he’s in my standard team so I don’t feel too bad. Hopefully he can hold on to a solid top 10 now and bag me some serious WT points.

    Its not a surprise at this
    Its not a surprise at this stage as Sky always suck in the classics. If Gilbert hits form for Ardennes then I hope I can build enough of a lead to offset any ground I’ll lose when Froome wins the TdF.

    All good
    Its all very tight
    All good

    Its all very tight between us, I need some WT points from Contador and Ulissi as I doubt I will get any from P-R

    We are all easily ahead of Sky on WT with our total scores, and all still ahead based on our top 5 riders.

    as reserves in case anyone drops out before Monday.
    I have a feeling Sky will be pushing Porte’s cause at the expense of JTL and Xandio again, and stone dead last doesn’t earn WT points…

    thanks

    Right guys two races this
    Right guys two races this weekend, Flanders Sunday followed by Pais Vasco Monday.

    No Gilbert makes it easy for me with exactly 9 riders for Flanders, I have you with 8 Dan and an exact 9 for you too Rob.

    Just about to look at Pais Vasco teams now

    Also will send you out the spreadsheet after Roubaix/Pais Vasco have finished next weekend

    Sudden daft thought. If Sky seriously want to win a Classic they should get Wiggo to ride as a DS in one of the Spring races.

    I’ve just watched the Crit highlights from ITV4 last night, and at the end they announced are going to do highlights programmes of Roubaix and LBL on the race day. LBL of course, according to Mr Boulting being one of Wiggo’s targets for this season.

    I nearly fell off my chair…

    Fine. The 150 would have meant you dropping 1 or 2 riders today, which is not exactly fair, given you only have 7 anyway. Albeit possibly 7 of the top 10.

    Maybe we should have made it clearer at the start. Also Ive left your Iglinsky points in, both WT and fantasy, so I presume they were not in your 1234 (so you had 1275 before I started scoring). As a presume you would have picked him else. I had to do your overall total slightly differently as I didnt have the rider breakdown scores (for your riders that were not in either mine or Dans team) pre Catalunya.

    (removed my email address now Ive just got yours) I will be able to send the spreadsheet to you, as I do Dan, with all the scores on, after every couple of events
