Tour of Flanders

Can anyone see beyond Sagan and Degenkolb for the TDF?
I'd also go for Westra as a cheapish DS  39  39

110 points for me... not bad. Now (with Canc out), I've got to change my plans for Paris-Roubaix.  39

Copy? How very dare you  3

Have had Boonen and Sagan in since MSR, brought Pozzato in for GW (swapped for Greg Van Avermaet).

Gave Ballan a good mention in the Flanders preview, was always going to pick him for today ahead of Freire, doping investigation or no doping investigation...

ps I almost never pick Cancellara... would rather have more points to spend on more riders who can threaten podium rather than one who'll almost always be there in a Classic. Risky strategy sometimes, especially given new points set-up, but it paid off today, sadly for bad reasons...

Yh ive had sagan all the way through, then had boonen and ballan for Gent as well, then bought in pozzato for today.

I was maintaining that ballan would come good, think all my star riders are set for next week, and will just have a play with my DS's

Not fair, my alter ego who is doing a purist team is consistently beating me in these classics.

Now if it wasn't for broken collar bones x2. i'd be up there with a 1,2 for lange and canc

Sagan at 28, Peloton at 41. Can Sagan catch them. Think it's between the front 3 now. Just want Pozzato in front of Ballan now  3  3 @TERatcliffe26

Canc def broken collar bone. Big pity for him and bad news for Wiggins as Canc will have to concentrate all his efforts on the Olympic TT.

Knew it was his collar bone over an hour ago  3  3

This not a huge one if its not to badly broken, its ride-able after a few weeks

Got 1, 2, 3 and 5 too - happy in sporting terms Tommeke won, though in Fantasy terms would have been better for me if he'd come third out of that trio due to fewer people having Pozzato or Ballan  19

Did you copy my tips and not go for Cancellara, instead going for the same 4 star riders as me? knowing they would be the top 4 star riders

Trusty old Florencio saved me!! 9th in current comp. The glory days of top 10 are back! Think I'll break open a bottle of Old Peculiar to celebrate. Also managed to cycle 11 miles more than the points I scored, the best this year so far after a period of slight illness. Played a game of 5-a-side as well so I'm on a roll.

Haven't got a clue who I'm going to put in for Canc though and I expect Sagan might be rested as the Dutch races might suit him with their uphill finishes.

The sheer volume of problems the Cancellara has with his bikes doesn't reflect well on the new Domane.

I picked up Devolder too, wanted Leukmans but couldn't shoehorn him in within my 4 transfers, got Boonen, Bennati, Cancellara and Flecha. Flecha being the choice over Leukmans, we'll see how that pans out but I'm not overly confident.

Watching in Flemish on Sporza at the mo. I really must start learning it for next year. I can manage to understand Spanish, Italian, French and even Catalan but Flemish has me stumped.

Seems I made a good call not picking him

Hate seeing riders injured (but good call as far as not picking him goes)
