    About to go live with this one. First up is a double header with Omloop and Kuurne at the weekend. The latter is one of 2 Pro races included in a 15 race competition.

    Start lists will be pretty dynamic. I’ll often hold of on wholesale changes until start lists are finalised. Otherwise players will receive emails that their riders are not racing and maybe make premature changes and use up valuable transfers. If you do want to change early then select the ‘Show all riders’ option.

    Not sure what to make of that

    Not sure what to make of that. If I’d picked WVA I’d decided it would be the two 3.0 IGD as make weights to afford him and go without Van Baarle. Mmmm. I suppose I’m more or less break even on my own decision.

    Yes, you have resembled Ganna

    Yes, you have resembled Ganna after a flat tyre! In all honesty I was never having Van Aert in but went Laporte/Senechal rather than Stuyven/Lampaert as my final decision which was a mistake….. At least the races come thick & fast now so it’s quickly forgotten

    And it was the right call!

    And it was the right call! Pity I went the other way – sums my season up so far!

    I agree.  Nobody knows, but I don’t see him riding unless he has ambitions.

    Put him in, he is the type of rider that does amazing things.

    I’ve gone without him. Nobody

    I’ve gone without him. Nobody knows for certain if he has recovered enough for such a tough race… including WVA himself (I suspect)… Picking him, or not, is just a shot in the dark.

    Changed my mind a dozen times on WVA.

    It was a lot simpler when we thought he wasn’t going to ride.

    There is a real dilemma with

    There is a real dilemma with Paris-Roubaix – to have Van Aert or not? £37 mill is expensive for a domestique if he isn’t fit, but is it all a smokescreen to help him get a bit more freedom in the race? I honestly don’t know which way to go with him.

    Brabantse Pijl rosters still

    Brabantse Pijl rosters still not finalised but most of the important ones are. I’ll start making the changes, but bare in mind, more riders will be added.

    Can’t wait.  Pidcock back on

    Can’t wait.  Pidcock back on form too.  Best one day race in the calendar.  (I’ll prob say that before Paris Roubaix.)

    Not sure why so many thought it would be a sprint today.  How many bunch sprints have we had in these races recently?

    MVDP is ready big showdown

    MVDP is ready big showdown Sunday then, and just a few whispers that JA may be riding too although I cant imagine he’ll be at their level. One can hope!

    You’ll probably do as well as me then.  I only picked 2 riders specifically for this stage anyway.  Hoping plenty of this team can stay for the next race (Tour of Flanders) to save transfers.

    So Axelgaard predicts a bunch

    So Axelgaard predicts a bunch sprint at Dwars door Vlaanderen.  With a fresh Pogacer and Van der Poel riding?

    Not sure how I’ve done today

    Not sure how I’ve done today with the Gent-Wevelgem race. Chose to claw a few transfers back with just Senechal > Demare. Hopefully just treading water….no Merlier might hurt though.
