I had some good picks, but no Roglic or Bernal was just stupid.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

My hat off to you Kalach. Nice done mate.
I finally got something together after a dismal spring.
Even had the lead briefly in this beautiful Swiss race and got my top-5 finally.
I had of course hoped for the win and improving to 4 individual wins over the years, but without Roglic and a failing Gee I had to pleased with this.
Bernal was a pleasant surprise, and my often selected Mr. De Gendt had a hell of a race. Going home with TWO jerseys and even a stage win. Mr. Breakaway must be pleased and so was I.

Not sure but I might have caught up massively or even overtaken Ian for the lead, but we’ll wait and see. A great result considering how difficult it was to build a team around Roglic, Viviani was my only lackluster rider scoring a big fat doughnut Rui Costa slapped me hard in the face as I would have chosen him over Viviani if it was 2015. But not disappointed.
Hopefully I haven’t peaked too early and can come through again in the Giro, game which is already out and has some interesting riders to pick. No pressure for me. |

The Giro will be interesting.
So many tactics possible but somehow I want a team without Froome and this could be a huge gamble then.  |

Apparently I have two idea's of my team. Probably both are bad, but still.
1. Both Dumoulin/Froome
2. Neither Dumoulin/Froome |

First option might be tempting. But its pretty expensive

Screw it - after Spring Classics I'm going with option 2 and spreading the love around.

Easy! Don't pick Froome/Dumoulin and you can have Aru, Pinot, Lopez and Pozzovivo . Plus, you have more credits for others |

It's a tough choice as I can't see Froome not winning the Giro. I can see him win it like he won the Tour last year, without winning a stage, but even then, he was miles ahead of anyone in terms of points because of his consistency. Just had a look at last year's Tour points and he scored an overall of 2267 points. Bardet was second with 1512.
I don't think Dumoulin will do as well as last year, but most probably top 5.
You can have a great team without picking any of these 2 (Pinot, Lopez, Pozzovivo, Viviani and even Ulissi and Woods who should do well in the punchers stages. So do you have 4 or 5 guys that SHOULD get you a lot of points so you can get more quality or pick Froome and/or Dumoulin and have much less money for the rest of your team |

Sorry for delay in updating table. Hopefully it will be done tonight. I can reveal that there is a new leader. I guess Ian won't be skipping the Giro

Barring injury Froome and Dumoulin are probably guaranteed points, probably guaranteed top 5 at least. The others may all have poor races. That's why Froome and Dumoulin are valued so highly.
It will be interesting to see which option comes out on top. Personally I'm going to at least guarantee some points (hopefully) by picking one of them. But which one?
Very poor sprinting line up though.

I just changed my lineup and decided to go no Froome and no Dumoulin.
Hopefully works out. |

I just can't look away from Froome and Dumoulin. As a fellow Dutchman i will most probably pick Tom. |
