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.

WHHHAAAAAAAAATTTTTT, LL was 8 seconds behind this morning, got the 10 second bonus for the win, but is still 1 second behind Wiggo??

Rabo are packing the top 10 GC, 4 in the top 7

LLSanchez 11 secs back, so they are correct.

I had him as well, very pleased. Also Talansky in 4th. He's doing nicely.

Great scenery, reminds me of when I went to Austria and Switzerland when I was 15. First trip abroad, by ferry and train. How things have changed! My children have been half way round the world a few times as well as quite a bit of Europe.

Oh yeah, i just took what Eurosport put up, normally right, but i see above, another guy listed with his first name, The tour has his as Paterski, but his surname is Maciej. A bit like Thomas Geraint.

Like it even more when i see Rolland is now in there  4 Cheers Alan

I wondered what it was. I just noticed the no. 20 was different but Rolland in 14th pushed everyone else down one. I expect he's just getting ready for the Tour and there are no big uphill finishes that suit him.

Shame about the rain. Not to take anything away from GT (his av speed doesn't lie), but it would have been great to see the (rest of the) specialists battling it out. Cav seems in good shape though. Surely the winner tomorrow?

GT?? Who's that, if you look at my screen cap from the offical app, his name is now Thomas Geraint  19

The reason he won and would have even if it stayed dry for the whole TT, as he said in an interview, he's just come off the back of track cycling where ALL he's been doing is working on his 4km speed.

Happy with 37ish, given my team wasn't too TT-heavy. Hoping Davis and Matthews can pick up decent points in the next 2 days, assuming Sky chase the breakaways for me!

A whopping 0 points for me. Didn't realize it was so short might have loaded up more sprinters. But come on Lulu, TJVG, and Fuglsang should have done better. At least one in the top 20.

Interesting, Cav should be wearing green, but his world champ jersey trumps that. So Sky are riding with 3 riders in Sky kit, GT in yellow, Rogers in green, Wiggo in British champ and Cav in World champ

I think its only because its the first stage and he's not the leader of that classement.

If he was the overall leader he would have to wear it. But national and world jersey's trump class jersey's if your not leading

So say for instance in the Tour De France

Leader in Yellow was Cav, but he also lead the points for Green

Second in the points was Wiggo, third was Rojas and fourth was Gilbert, they all hold national jersey's, so i don't know if they get the choice of being in Green or it would go to the next placed man  39

OK, so the feed was wrong. Westra did not withdraw (as evidenced by him finishing 2nd :-). Wow, I could have had 1, 2, 3, and 4 if I would have kept Tiralongo in my lineup. This never happens  1

1. Wiggins
2. Westra
3. Tiralongo
4. Van Garderen
etc...
