heard Gimay was enjoying new dad life a bit too much and not training hard, but figured hey it's a 1.Pro he can smoke these bums.

finished 59th today

My squad finished 1-2-4-59-75-DNF (Wærenskjold)

feast or famine eh lol

ETA

dangit - had the 6th place rider as well but swapped him out for the Norwegian



also my OCD tendencies got the better of me; mainly switched to have a 100 point squad when my initial build had 98 lol

1-43-75-98-DNF-DNS. Great showing today. Lol

Giro results were better with 4 in the top 10 (1-2-7-10).

 

[DA RAIDERS]

1,2,10

And in that other race, I guess I should have checked the start list. Might get a zero.

\While I am loving the Superclasico Sixes because it keeps me engaged with Classics and Monuments, I wish they had a contest that was 10-15 races. Seems like 45 events is just too much for casuals like us.

Spectacular job by Tarling to ruin his own break by pulling so hard keeps the group too small to succeed

"We are not here to win stages, why would we jump?"

- Arkea, Bahrain, Cofidis, EF, Wanty, IPT, Movistar, SQS, Jayco, Tudor, Astana (probably)

Just mind boggling this isn't a big group breakaway day

Announcement!,: Paying attention to who’s actually in the race reaps benefits!

And I need the giro to flatten out a bit so Kaden can get to the line with everyone else.

It’s great having Olav as your Sprinter - if the stage profile is over 60 you’ll find him in the grupetto

it’s nice when riders are exactly what you expect them to be

that said, will probably win at least 2 of stages 4, 6, 12 & 14 (if he doesn’t abandon lol)

Seems like 1.Pro races against the Grand Tours are a crapshoot. Did well today but yesterday I had 1 guy that did anything.

 

[Sammy3469]

This is crazy (and while I never wanted to do crits when I was younger).

 

[Jaysus]

Both Kooj and Groves were absolutely flying there at the end... could not beat that Picnic team positioning though. What a wild finish.

 

[BassNBrew]

2-3-4-5-7-109 at Dunkerque.

What sucks is my last change was swapping out Ackerman for Zingle otherwise it would have been 1-2-3-4-5-7.

I finally got a chance to look at the results. That's probably my best effort ever. 1, 2, 4, 5, 7 and 22.

It looks like two teams were relegated so I'm up to 76!

That giro finish was nerve racking! Still bringing up the rear, but I have hope.

And that tro bro race was crazy terrain. Very cool to watch.

Groves pulse check: Still alive!

 

[cheeseypoof]

So once they neutralized the race, everyone that finished was given the same time? They finished the race but no sprint points were awarded? Looks like intermediate sprint and KOM points were awarded for the part of the race before the race was neutralized. Do I have that correct? Is that standard practice in those situations?

Looks like intermediate sprint and KOM points were awarded for the part of the race before the race was neutralized. Do I have that correct? Is that standard practice in those situations?

Guess I got most of my answer here:

Due to a massive crash in the peloton, the race was neutralised between km 156 and 166.5 of the race. It was also decided that no points or bonus seconds would be awarded at the last intermediate sprint and the finish and that time differences at the finish line would not count towards the General Classification.

Groves and Kooij have been the fastest so far. I would have loved to see them go head to head today, but that did not happen because of the relegation.
