Tour de Romandie
Right to give everyone time to plan, the tour de romandie takes place after the last classics race from 24th to 29th april.
Profiles and startlist (provisional) are up on cycling fever.
Should be good as some Giro participlants will probably be getting a run out.
If people could just let me know if they are gonna be putting in a team so i can prepare the spreadsheet.
Lucas was interested in which riders scored the most points overall, to see who was the best rider, and was there anyone who scored highly that non of us picked. so if i can im gonna try and keep scores for all riders that take part (however it my be too time consuming but i will try)
If you're new please join in and if you have questions pop them below and the forum regulars will answer as best we can.

Looking good for me to gain some points back now, LL Sanchez and Clement enjoy TT's and Rolland likes mountain TT's
Can i make it 4 stage winning riders tomorrow?
Not a great day for me. I think wiggo will win it overall as will do better than sanchez in the TT
You think? On that course i think Sanchez will have the upper hand. If not the Mollema and Clement are pretty handy aswell
My ideal would be Sanchez to win the TT and GC with Clement second in both
I don't mind if Wiggins or Sanchez wins as I've got both
Talansky will want to win the young rider jersey as well and de Gendt can be handy on an uphill TT and he's scored me a big fat 0 so far so I hope he does something. Zabriskie ok in a TT as well but what happened to van Garderen, he seems to have disappeared. Was banking on him for a good finish.
Van G had a crash today and he was struggling, i think he may have jumped off
Well, De Gendt certainly saved his energy today
. Hopefully in order to put in a great ride tomorrow, but I'm not optimistic
I did wonder why i hadn't seen Hivert powering on for me today, but i just looked at the finish list
999 Meersman Gianni Lotto-Belisol DNF
999 Horrach Rippol Juan Katusha Team DNF
999 Dehaes Kenny Lotto-Belisol DNF

They are all out
Great to see Bradley ahead of Jesus ... get that Christians!!!!
I've just had a proper look at the TT profile and realised it isn't exactly flat... oops.
Nope its not a flat TT stage and most riders out on road bikes with clip on bars
Game over for Wiggins now I feel!
Wiggins had problem with chainring. Could make a difference.
Talansky going well. Bit over a second down.
Wiggo fastest through check point 1, Sanchez 55 seconds down
Talansky in the lead, 28 57.
Mollema out of the top 20.
Wiggo wins GC, calling it now, Sanchez not going well
Rogers 6th. It's swinging back and forth between me and TER.
Wigins has won it!!
Talansky second. Advantage TER.
LLSanchez out of the top 20. Rabobank not going so well in the TT.
Think I Have it, although you had talansky 2nd I had 6th and 7th through Szmyd and Rogers, and then think Spilak was 11th, so you may beat me on the day but not 44 points difference
F**K
So Sanchez 22nd, Clement 23rd Rabo didn't even bother trying, looks like they just clipped aero bars on and didn't bother to thinking about gearing

I don't know the sprints or mountains, but so far i have 1 point
Just a small 72 points. Not including sprint/mountains etc
Not bad day, but not enuf to reach TER
Nor am I. He's not on his P-N form is he?
Yeh was a good sprint.
Yep we are playing young rider
Just about to put the points up in the other thread
I didn't think Westra would be up for this one and Wiggins was tooooo common amongst the teams posted already, so with this not counting towards the game, i took a chance with some other riders. This is the third time i've done that, first time worked a treat and i won, second time not so much and i came last.......still a few stages left
