Podium
1) Sergio Henao
2) Alberto Contador
3) Dan Martin
Just a single pick for surprise winner Henao, and that too as a last minute replacement made by Selwink for Valverde! He picked up 15 points for that pick but didn't pick up any further points. Contador was a popular pick and his 2nd place got 10 points for five participants and the bonus 20 points, also for five people.
The three most popular picks of Porte, Bardet and Zakarin, picked by at least six people, with Porte having eight picks, failed to deliver a podium. The best result was Zakarin's 6th place.
As a result of all this, the table has changed at the top. Here's how it looks now:
| Name | Races Entered | Bonuses | Total Points | | jandal7 | 6 | 100 | 175 | | emre99 | 6 | 60 | 165 | | Selwink | 6 | 60 | 160 | | Raziz | 6 | 60 | 160 | | AbhishekLFC | 6 | 80 | 145 | | purepasd | 6 | 60 | 125 | | Marcovdw | 6 | 40 | 110 | | Croatia14 | 6 | 60 | 80 | | Squire | 3 | 40 | 55 | | Luxemburger | 2 | 20 | 30 | | trekbmc | 2 | 0 | 0 |
Jandal climbs up above Emre to take the lead once again. Emre's zero score hurts him severely. Another member affected by a zero score is AbhishekLFC, who drops down from tied second place to fifth place in the standings. Selwink and Raziz now share third place. At the bottom, Luxemburger picks up his first points of the season on the third attempt, while trekbmc is still on the lookout for his first points.
Stay tuned tomorrow for the results of the Tirreno Adriatico...

Tirreno Adriatico Results
Podium
1) Nairo Quintana
2) Rohan Dennis
3) Thibaut Pinot
Dennis' win in the ITT on the last stage robs three members of 5 points for their Pinot pick. Interestingly, it was those same three who emerge as the winners here. purepasd, Squire and Aquarius pick up the win here. Squire takes back to back wins while Aquarius picks up a win in his first participation of the season.
Nairo Quintana was the most popular pick with only Croatia not picking him as a podium finisher. The bonus question was also met with unanimity and everyone got their answer right, an Italian did not win their home race. A lot of points picked up as a result.
The table looks like this now:
| Name | Races Entered | Bonuses | Total Points | | jandal7 | 7 | 120 | 215 | | emre99 | 7 | 80 | 205 | | Selwink | 7 | 80 | 200 | | Raziz | 7 | 80 | 200 | | AbhishekLFC | 7 | 100 | 185 | | purepasd | 7 | 80 | 170 | | Marcovdw | 7 | 60 | 150 | | Croatia14 | 7 | 80 | 100 | | Squire | 4 | 60 | 100 | | Luxemburger | 3 | 40 | 70 | | Aquarius | 1 | 20 | 45 | | trekbmc | 2 | 0 | 0 |
No change at the top with Jandal still leading Emre by 10 points. Aquarius makes a flying start. Squire has already caught up to Croatia having entered in three fewer races. Defending champion Marcovdw is still stuck mid-pack and will be hoping for a change of fortunes in the upcoming classics races.

It includes the Ardennes too, so I'm considering Kwiatkowski.
