    My purist team came 10th on the stage today! I might just not bother making transfers in my standard team either from now on…

    The Guvnor Dave Atkinson’s purists are having an absolute mare in 79th overall with no team selected…..shame after winning Paris-Nice purist.

    Shocker is an understatement! :”( At some point last night i had Quintana, Valverde and Stetina in my team and ended up with neither once i’d done my transfers…. :&
    As the kids are saying now YOLO!!

    A Breakaway move by Jonas
    A Breakaway move by Jonas Lorenzen has seen him get a 20 pt lead in the Forum’s Scourum’s Volta a Catalunya and he has a very strong looking team today too with Valverde,Wiggo,J-Rod and Quintana plus his nearest rival northstar taking penalty points.JAndrewHill leads in the purist from dr heaton’s 8 man ‘hornerless’ team.

    Jonas Lorenzen’s audcious break in Banyoles has seen him overtake JAndrewHill for 10th spot in the Forum’s Scorum’s overall competition in what is the only change in the entire top 20.Wig_Billy pushed his purist lead back out to over 300 pts…..(unbelievably it looks like I have Domagalski in the break of stage 3)!!

    chrisdstripes closed the gap on Wig_Billy by 2 pts in the purist division(only 296 to go!!!)

    Thought it was a Tuesday start! But never mind, I’m going for a Full House by packing my team with GC and mountain point guys plus Fenn. If things are a bit unpredictable might do ok, but not expecting much. Not likely to win any overall leagues in any case, just going to concentrate on the main comps after this one.

    I’m languishing down in 31st place after a very poor start to the season.

    My aim for the remainder is to get into the top 10, some 900 points away.

    Changed it about too much, had too much free time on my hands as got back from my ride before 11.00 am Saturday. My original team had Sagan and Cancellara, thinking back cannot imagine why I changed it. :”(

    Hindsight is a wonderful thing.

    We returned to racing in
    We returned to racing in italy and the first of the Forum’s Scorum’s Spring Classics…..the snow shortened Milan-SanRemo.No surprise to see Wig_Billy outsmart even the weather to take the line first and the lead in the competition thanks to a 1-2-3.ray silvester(me!!)holds a narrow 5 pt lead among the purists.

    In the Forum’s Scorum’s Overall competition we saw an impressive jump of 2 places into 4th for chrisdstripes at the expense of stevemarks(weird looking team?)and TERatcliffe.He also slightly closed the admittedly big gap to Wig_Billy in the purist section.

    Catalunya starts today and there should be plenty of points available with lots of categorised climbs.

    You’ve got to hand it to
    You’ve got to hand it to robacairns……after slipping to 3rd on stage 5 he came back to move second on stage 6 and then grab the trident on the ITT in the Forum’s Scorum’s Tirreno-Adriatico competition.NeilG83 took the purist division amking it another two new names on the first post honours board.

    Alan Tullett and myself are continuing to trade places for 2nd and 3rd in the Forum’s Scorum’s overall which is not helping the race to chase down Wig_Billy.NeilG83’s purist win in Tirreno Adriatico has appeared to close the gap on Wig_Billy in the purist division though to 301pts(still agreat lead in both competitions).

    Congrats to drheaton after
    Congrats to drheaton after his massive 246pts(2nd in the entire game)for the Col D’Eze time trial was enough to snatch the Forum’s Scorum’s Paris-Nice title.Having led the purist division right through the ‘Race to The Sun’ I was gutted to lose it at the end but fair play,it was to “The Guv’nor” Dave Atkinson(damn you Talansky!!).That’s two new names on the first post honours board.

    A poor day(82pts) for robacairns saw him lose his lead in the Forum’s Scorum’s Tirreno-Adriatico to chrisdstripes and his Contador/Nibali/Froome triumvirate.A fimiliar guy in 4th looks ominous though!!
    Alan Tullett holds a 35pt lead in the purist AND has Greipel and Cavendish whist his nearest rival(NeilG83) has Sagan.

    In the Forum’s Scorum’s overall the ding-dong battles for 2nd/3rd and 8th/9th rage on…..with Alan Tullett ceding 2nd to me(for now) and NeilG83 taking 8th back from drheaton.Wig_Billy still ruling both divisions and has nailed the 5K badge.

    Hi guys, sorry didn’t get on here earlier still sulking about not winning La Vuelta :”( I think I am over it now though! My big targets this year are a top 20 place overall and no 1 in SE :^o Alan Tullet I am coming for you……

    I think you mean East Anglia. Good to have some competition. I was running away with it until I screwed up Paris-Nice big time :”(

    There are a few other good players closing the gap as well.

    May stop after the Vuelta though as playing well does take up a bit of time.

    Just checked the East Anglia table and yes, I’m much closer to the two of you than I realised, so hopefully I can be one of the “good players” that provides some healthy competition – bring it on!
