Road CC Fantasy Cycling 2016 Starts Monday

[Moist von Lipwig]

Yeah, 1 2 3 5 here. Had Briggs at one point then changed mind. I totally missed Pete Williams though, he did this at the ToB too!

In Switzerland, pinot beats dumoulin in a TT!

[Moist von Lipwig]

Just looked at Romandie properly. Fiso are crushing it. I'm 15th overall but only 3rd in our league. Geoffv in 10th and sibrown4 in 5th. In purist I'm 14th but still not top of our league. Canto is 2nd, he was leading the whole thing yesterday!

[sibrown4]

15 non starters for today's final stage of Romandie. Including Kittel.

[Cantoforever]

Good week end for Canto.... A first and 5th in Romandie, plus a second in Yorkshire with our Frenchman victory.... Not bad. Yorkshire tour should be a HC at least, great race today.

Nice one Canto - 2nd overall in Purist as well. Great stuff - so close to the overall win but great to get an overall podium and a stage win.

FISO with 2 in the top 10 in Purist and 3 in the top 10 in Standard. Great going.

[sibrown4]

As Si says we have a host of impressive results coming from the latest three comps which finished yesterday.

Firstly Romandie Purist with Canto's win and an overall 2nd place. MVL also a top ten overall finish

Romandie Standard - What a finish with 1 point separating Geoff, MVL and myself with all three of us top ten overall

Finally the Tour de Yorkshire and a win for Geoff who led from the start to finish.

Latest table and MVL stretching his lead now with a series of wins and seconds in the last 6 comps.

[Moist von Lipwig]

Had a very good run of late, 5th in Trentino, 6th & 8th in Romandie then spoilt it with 'only' a 38th in Yorkshire. Has lifted me from 55th to 37th in the overall league. Well done Canto on those results too.


This wasn't half annoying in Romandie though, considering I had an =9th and an 11th on stage....

Excellent start of Geoffv, 6th overall. Nice one.

[Moist von Lipwig]

Purist is going worryingly to plan - 9th overall.

It's going to be a busy week next week, the tour of california starts on Sunday night.

[Moist von Lipwig]

Tour of California now open. Deadline is 7pm on Sunday night.

[Moist von Lipwig]

I'd never even heard of Guilio Ciconne until the Giro del Trentino, only chucked him in the purist team because of the way he rode that and he was cheap. Great ride today from a 21 year who's been a pro less than 5 months! I imagine there'll be no pressure from the Italians on him now

[Cantoforever]

What a choice!! And what a mess in RoadCc California. No trace of Allaphilippe at the start ?!!

Yes, they weren't very on top of the Cali startlist. If that happens in future, tick show all riders and filter by team (in this case EQS) and you can still select someone missing shown as greyed out. They'll be added to the active list behind the scenes later.

Neilson Powless looks like a hell of a talent based on yesterday, apparently he can TT a bit too. Saw him mention a bit beforehand as one to watch in future.

[Cantoforever]

I had also Morton on my short list, but he also disapeared from the list. Regarding your success in the leagues actually you spent some Times checking the riders form. Impressive.
Good prospect Powless, just watched yersteday stage.

Funnily enough, I read a bit pre race last week, but pre stage info for California is proving very hard to find. Transfers are very tricky for this one.

They made a mess of todays finale broadcast, showed totally the wrong angle for the corkscrew, camera was overhead - should have been on the inside of the right hand after so you can appreciate the drop and camber.

[Moist von Lipwig]

Finished 4th overall in California - my best result to date. Slightly annoyed though as it was a coin toss whether or not to bring Cav in for the final stage and I'd have been 2nd if I had

Sagan had a highly entertaining Stage7, got in the first break, got in the second break when that came back together, soloed off the front of the break, sat up, then contested the final bunch sprint and took 2nd.

[Moist von Lipwig]

some utterly ridiculous scores on Stage 16. 303 was the top score! I got 222 and was 556th on stage, the difference of having Ulissi or not was 440 places!

[sibrown4]

Updated results following Tour of Calfornia. Win for amvL on standard and Geoff on purist.

[sibrown4]

Update after the completion of the Giro and the "amazing" comeback of Nibali.

Canto has the best performance picking up 12 points over the three comps.

Quite happy with this Giro, thanks Nibali in the purist. What a champ with this come-back. And also thanks Taramaee, which have all this pts in standard (that was a good pick).

Err, what was Reichze playing at today? Bloody 51 points for a sprinter on a 2xHC day?

[unc.si.]

You didn't get the memo then?

[Moist von Lipwig]

You didn't get the memo then?

I wasn't cc'd in that one Absolutely brutal looking finish on the Rettenbachferner today. Now Richeze has taken the points jersey off Sagan I fully expect him to be in contention again today.

[unc.si.]

I only left Richeze in as I'd burned a fair few transfers on the flatter stages, thinking they'd be a bit more predictable than the mountains.

Anything could happen today. long stage and you're right, that final climb looks evil

Only 3 in the break though, so should be the GC guys - could even see it settled today, tomorrows ITT isn't that long I don't think.

[Moist von Lipwig]

This bloody race.... As the only member of my team with no TT background whatsoever, out went Miguel Angel Lopez for the day to get in Kiryenka.

You aren't alone. We all took out Lopes it seems.

[unc.si.]

Yes, snap.

Took out the guy with zero TT form, and he goes and beats Cancellara.

[Moist von Lipwig]

Well that makes me feel a bit better anyway.

[unc.si.]

Didn't bring him back either. Was going to bring in Pantano, but thown the dice with the Puma.

[Moist von Lipwig]

also had Pantano on the shortlist, there was a lot of choice for today, but a break has a good chance of making it I think.
