I put in a roster at 3am (thanks to whomever sent out the alert!). That I got any points is a small miracle.

You're welcome.

Is there a way to see who hasn't entered a lineup so we don't have to @everyone

Look at the team rosters. Those that have submitted will be there. Safer to @ everyone

Paris-Roubaix entry is open with a incomplete start list.

Entered a squad incase I don't remember to change it while on vacation.

12 riders, huh? That can't be right.

 

[DA RAIDERS]

Velo should make pogi and mvp 40+ points each

Pick a side!!

 

[BobbyLayne]

no hills for Pogi to run away on (unlikely to win in a sprint)

Paris-Roubaix race director says the cobbles will wear him down

will be rainy until about 3pm so that’ll make it fun

 

[DA RAIDERS]

So far my strategy isn’t really paying off..

A Colbrelli type day. Oh boy.

On a side note I may miss watching it live. Thinking of a long bike trip this weekend if I can convince the wife to let me go.

I am going to miss it too, LAX with my son in the AM, then a shakedown ride for my mid-week Bikepacking trip in the PM

Peacock might have the replay ready by then…

2,5,11, 20 overall. I needed more days like today. Hated the falls in the rain. Got the mountain jersey. But not taking almeida was my downfall.

Current PR team doesn’t have MvdP or pogi.

Betting on the weather winning?

I have one of the two. Though I would love to see Wout get the upset. He has been looking better, so it's not completely crazy that he could be there at the end.

Stage Race Championship sheet updated. Also, table of monument winners - dang it's two sided right now.

ETA: Wout on cobbles training ride. Serious skillz there.

cool links. Big Tom boonen! And if that happens in the arenburg(sp?) huge crash. The race organizers changed the entrance to that section. There’s a weird right/u-turn/right to force them to slow down.

 

[DA RAIDERS]

I like my final team. No pogi!

 

[Jaysus]

I like your team too.

MVdP dropped with a mechanical!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nevermind, Bob Roll proving why he should be put of to pasture once again.

 

[BassNBrew]

If you ask me, this race is overrated. Just a little too much luck for my liking. Seems like the strategy of the day was to wait for the opposition to have an issue and attack them.

 

[BobbyLayne]

Spoiler: peacock replay viewers stay away

misfortunate for Pogi

but it doesn’t matter he was just gonna lose the sprint to MvdP anyways

At the same time, it's pretty clear the strongest guy won the race. If MVDP stays upright, he wins that race almost everytime. Alpecin preps for that race all year and trying to helicopter in and win it, isn't the recipe for success (it seems like UAE basically slapped some 32mm tires on and said go ride).

Agreed, just would to like to have seen Mads up front making it interesting.

It was an unusual year for that. Usually it's due to an attack, which lately has been MVdP riding off. But we've had years with sprints, (Colbrelli), with late breaks (Terpstra, from a 12 man group), etc. Just lately he so good, like Cancellara, that if he doesn't break down it's hard to stop him.

Next big one is Fleche Wallonne, which is a totally different beast. No MvDP, for sure. The Mur de Huy is the best 3 minutes in cycling.

Where is the spreadsheet?

 

[DA RAIDERS]

That was one of my better races. At one point before Brennan blew up I had 5 that looked likely for a top 10. Ended up with 1,3,4,5,14,44,52. Good for 94th overall.
