I had one version with the top 3 in my lineup. Pogi, MVP, Ganna, 3 x 4 credit riders. I would have taken donuts from the two addl 4 pointers. Tluett and Mads = Pogi at 480, but didnt get his 120 breakaway points.

Sand is 94th!

Congrats again, @Sand

Mine (6th in FBGs):

• Milano-Sanremo Score: 1476
• Milano-Sanremo Rank: 1159 of 3833

Pretty good distribution for the league, 85.7% (6/7) placed in the upper third of all players.

 

[cheeseypoof]

My Spring Classics results. Scored 598 and was ranked 2557 (out of ????). DJBrett with a stealth entry and scored 558.

Phillepsen (16) 60 pts
Girmay (10) 110 pts
Milan (12) 0 pts
Matthews (10) 260 pts
Van Poppel (8) 0 pts
Mullen (4) 0 pts
Wright (8) 150 pts
Rex (8) 0 pts
Pithie (8) 0 pts
Canal (6) 0 pts
Aular (6) 18 pts
Kadek (4) 0 pts

I believe all the above riders are scheduled for the next race so I won't need to make any transfers if I don't want to do so.

Entries for Superclassico Sixes Classic Brugge-De Panne on 3/26 are open.

 

[Tick]

That was fun. Women's race was less cool in that it was a big peloton sprint... but it was cool that a rider started to sprint with 1 km left and the others had to catch her (barely did).

 

[DA RAIDERS]

No I’m changing my lineups as many times as the grand tours.

Welcome to the club!!

Looks like we all missed the break of the day and Nick missed the start altogether.

****. I thought the next thing was 3/26? My life may not lend itself to fantasy cycling.

I love all of the De Pooter picks.

Had to take him. The name alone

Peacock couldn't tell who was who, but that was a great ending. Again, uphill finish is great.

Peacock is the worst. Had to leave with 18km to go. Came back an hour later. Had to wait another 2 hours to watch. Why can’t they do this correctly?

 

[Tick]

I'm sure I'm just catching up to others who already know this, but I really liked https://racecenter.paris-nice.fr/en/ as a companion screen today - it has all the stuff I've been bitching about the TV feed missing... like exactly where every rider is during the race.

Is there some awesome site out there that does this stuff for all the major races?

 

[Tick]

https://www.voltacatalunya.cat/en/live-2025 should help.

Hopefully the mountain stages get weathered out and we can stick to sprint stages.

 

[Jaysus]

Today is a breakaway day, right?

 

[cheeseypoof]

Today is a breakaway day, right?

Sprint stage I think. 2 small hills and a long flat run to the finish. Doubt the break stays away. Which means they probably will now! Lol

 

[BassNBrew]

Tao Geoghegan Hart has been forced to withdraw from the Volta a Catalunya before Tuesday's second stage after falling ill with digestive issues.


The Briton was leading Lidl-Trek at the week-long stage race, heading up a team including Quinn Simmons, Juan Pedro López, and Lennard Kämna – who is back racing for the first time in a year.


However, the team announced on Tuesday morning that Geoghegan Hart wouldn't start stage 2.

Got lucky here as my last change was from Tao to Groves. I really expected Tao to chase a top 5 finish in this event.

A new low for peacock. I’m watching the race about an hour and half behind. Feed just stops. Now I have to wait hours for the replay to become available if I want to watch it. NBC sucks at this.

Heck, 8 wasn’t even an hour and half behind. There was 11k left

Always been that way with peacock...you can go back in time while they are live, but once the live broadcast ends, time goes dark
