This Spring Classic is truly a mind-crasher.
Always not enough transfer and questions--- leave him or drop him. Then the need to transfer some 4-6 pointers to make that total 100 pts. The Pijl today felt like a TIMEOUT race, not being able to make what one think proper transfers.
Guess it's time to make the rest of the transfers for the 3 remaining Ardennes races. Make or brake. Got a feeling I will sink in the standings with too few riders that will score points for my team.
Good luck to the rest of you

OMG... 1-2-3-4 -6 -9 -10
And maybe Martens was top 20 I think. That should win me the AGR right??? Surely should be my first race win in Velogames, lets hope so haha
I won it indeed! 249 points, bombed up to 1st in our league and 5th overall

Good show mate,
your team looks good for the remaining races too.
You will be hard to dislodge from that first position.
I think I was pretty lucky too. 9 of my riders scored points in Amstel and 5 of them was just new transfers.
The problem now is to wish no accidents in the team with only 2 transfers left.

Great result well done!
I am happy with my score, easily my best ever classics season, hope my 4 remaining transfers prove enough.

Still 26th in our league. I don't seem to be able to break into the top 25 whatever I do

Now Phillipe Gilbert is out for both Fleche and LBL, which will I think stir up a lot of teams.
That's why transfers are indeed needed to have left going in to these final two races. Trouble on my end for sure, but that's how life gives you a kick in the butt now and then.

I'm short one transfer thanks to Cav now. Will be hard to finish top 10.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Question now is if we have to do these 2 remaining races without the biggest guns this spring.
Gilbert is out, Sagan is not starting in either and guess GvA is not participating in Fleche or LBL.
The Kings have left so who will pick up the crown ?

GvA and Sagan were never the kings of the Ardennes  .
I think Valverde is still the one to look at, especially tomorow. |

1-2-3-4-5-7
Although there's probably not much ground to make up considering it was obvious who to have in your team for this.

I think you can make it, only one race left and your team looks really good.

Check out some teams below me and they had similar teams if not better teams, and i am only up by a few points... we'll see, think top 10 is secured atleast! |

Nice. Fingers crossed for L-B-L, would be nice to have a transfer to try and snag one of the form riders that just pops up to ride only that race.
Spring Classics is the holy grail with all the transfers and therefore less reliance on luck, great that you are in the running going into the last race!

I'm terribly afraid that I won't be able to hold the lead after the points are given, as they're double. Especially to Ian. Will be close though, depends a lot on LBL. Really well played, Timo. My respect to you |

I have one transfer remaining with max 8 points available for LBL. Any suggestions?
And I've been shuffling between 26th to 30th in our league for the entire duration. I went to 20th after PR and stayed there after Scheldeprijs. Now I'm at, wait for it, 26th
