Nice win for Burghardt and great reporting.
I'm really happy with my riders' showing today. 11th for Veelers, 15th for Kruijswijk and 19th for Drucker. Better than I expected, especially as the profile didn't suit Veelers that well. Kruijswijk really surprised me today though. Did I train his cobble stat or something, I've completely forgot.

Will Omloop be a harder race, will it be a sprint or what do you guys think of it?
I have same hopes as for Eroica. To have Nolf and Geslin helping Hushovd to top 10, and achieve top 20's themselves... If I get about 80-100pts pr. cobbled race I will be happy |

Cancellara did not go to Eroica, because I blew some of his race days on Pari-Nice because I thought it had two TT and was hoping for 2 stage wins. Oh well....good ride for him today, podium and a top 10 is a good day. |

Hmm not really very good. Thor was very unlucky and I suspect he hit a minor injury, when he hit the ground.
Nolf in 11th was okay if not Hushovd had blown it, now he should've reached top 8 or so.
Not really happy but atleast we are still doing better than Rabobank and La Gazzetta... I think Wikipedia is new PT leader now... |

hmm , Burghardt has done really well,and Maes has really impressed me being able to work for him and still score well. Hopefully if i can grab or extend the lead with Criterium International and the 3 major cobbled classics coming up., then dissapear for a few months

14th for Veelers, that's about as good as it gets I guess, eventhough I think he could do a Top 10 on a good day.
Oh and dave, please change your jersey, I hate the fact that everytime I see a B&O rider on the front, he is in fact not a B&O rider.

8 finishers for Eurosport - that equals 40 points in PT races, doesn't it?

I had 7 finishers = 35 pts 
and with CI coming up plus more cobbels, yeah, Wikipedia will probably lead by the end of the month. |

It was unneeded - you just need a little patient to wait for me to post them
Plus you made a few mistakes.

It wasn't really unneeded at the time where I posted it. I was having a discussion about who was placed where, and so I calculated it and posted it. You don't lose anything from letting it be. It only shows that you want it all by yourself by deleting it really. Pointless! Really pointless! |

If you dont like the fact that I run the game and put in all this effort while you sit back and just watch/speculate, feel free to quit and never come back. (And dont turn this into an "oh but I want to help" argument)
I like doing the rankings and posting it up - feel free to waste your own time trying to calculate it yourself to see where your team are and post where you think you are, just dont post the whole standings.
I didnt see the point of leaving your inaccurate post there with rankings when about 20 minutes later I had posted an accurate one that also included individual standings.
