My humble thanks Ian. I never thought I could pull that off, when you had the jersey before the final TT. My second win actually (Eneco last year). None more surprised then myself 
I confess I never thought I could advance passed the Phantom, ianrussell.
Certain you would pull off your third victory.
Better study the Spring Classic carefully. Missed it last year, since I never grasped the rules I think.

Really weird if one of your leaders in Nibali scores less than 2 4-pointers in Quinziato and Cattaneo and almost less than Pelucchi as 3rd 4-pointer...
The rest of the team was pretty good actually but this did cost me any chance of a high result. |

More weird that Cavendish scored 0 points throughout the week. Did he even finish the race?
Went from top 10 to outside top 25 on the last day  Yates' illness really screwed me over.
I'll hopefully update the league table later today.

League table updated.
purepasd takes over the provisional lead while Ian Russell moves ominously into second.
Clamel, Ian Russell & Gargatouf all score bonus points.
CLAMEL - Please make sure you get your team name and user name the right way round. I let you off this time
Good luck everyone in the upcoming Spring Classics game. Remember that double points and bonus points are up for grabs at this event.

Cheers Ringo. Irrespective of how the (incredibly tough to pick and plan) team does you've got to love the spring classics, both the races and the icing on the top game.

Back in the top 25, where I belong! After a false start I had a decent TA, hope the spring classics go well. |

It's the races not the game. Cancel the rest of the season either side of the spring classics and I'd be happy

Did I mess up ? Honestly I forgot what I called the team earlier.
Was sure of using same Team Clamel, user Clamel.
Might messed up with firstcycling setup.
Can't figure out to see any of the old Velogames setups, so that's why I probably got it wrong.
Then still remain.... What did I call everything last time around then.
Perhaps easier if I stick to the easy stuff: Team Clamel - Clamel.
No mixup that way.
EDIT: Now I am even more surprised. I managed to find old Tour Down Under 2017, and I called it 100% same. Team Clamel user Clamel.

No Worries
Last time your username was Clamel and your team was Team Clamel
This time your username was Team Clamel and you team name was Clamel
As long as you stick to those names I should be able to work it out

Haha, but it's made all the better by comparison otherwise you'd take it for granted that bike racing is always all out action. To be fair to the rest of the season I do enjoy plenty of it...just not as much

Team entered. A few big names and a load of random 4 pointers. Should be an interesting few weeks.

Now that was a hard thinking moment, getting all 12 riders to fit in.
Since I enjoyed a pint while doing it I might have messed up again with names and teams
Are "our" competition divided for each race, or is it the Grand Total that counts ?
It will be close to hell to select who to replace on each race after this MSR.
Guess some sort of tactics and braindrain is needed to get the math to get in order for each race. The replacing stuff going to get extra hard IMHO.
I understand one can't leave a team short with only 10-11 riders, so replacing riders in each race most then be of same point scale.
That makes it even harder.....
What an ordeal, I do think another pint is needed.
Cheers mates and good luck to you all.

First time I am picking a team for the Spring Classics. So hard to pick a team that might work for all races without the need to change to many riders after each race. |

The classics are definitely the highlight of the year! The team seems harder to picl this year, a lot of the outsiders have gone up a few points! Should be interesting!
