Just to address a common theme being posted on the thread (David: “my team is the best”), I’ll go ahead and make the prediction that while Cadel Evans might do okay overall in the Giro (top 5 but not podium I’d say), he will underachieve in terms of velogames points and was not worth the 20pt price.
Also, Niemiec might have sounded like a sexy pick, until he fades into oblivion trying to keep up with the leaders in the third week.
Conclusion: David’s team is not the best
Niemiec’s gonna crush it
Will Pozzovivo be the first person shorter than 5’6’’ (Di Luca) to win (lol) a grand tour? Time will tell…
My kind of day.
Pete, somehow you sneak by me on this stage despite me having 1 and 3!
Also,
Anyone who did not pick Diego Ulissi as an unclassed rider for 6pts is clearly a noob
So that’s everyone except Pete, David and I
mfw roche launched the saddest attack on the planet
That said, I’m pretty bummed at the lackluster performance of quintana while being super stoked about cadel.
Standings after Stage 5:
My fall from the top has gone quite quickly…
hahaha, Svein Tuft currently has the second best points to cost ratio.
Chocobots, stop playing with your Mattel toys and roll out!
Also, nobody mentioned it but I think it’s awesome that Svein was wearing pink after the first stage. Old guys ftw!
I appologize. Gallai is also not a noob as he has Ulissi.
I was going to make an attempt to cut down some of Gallai’s selections, but he’s been collecting a ton of points early on with Bouhanni and Viviani (probably the two sprinters to have), he’s also got a cute pick with Sonny Cobrelli (I approve), and he’s even to two big names for the overall GC: Quintana and Uran.
Well done. You could go far

This is going to be a freaking tight one…
fantasy cycling isn’t won in the first week.
But it can be lost…
I’m near the top but going to fall HARD.
Dan Martin and Kittle both out… Roche and Arredondo both lost major time today…
My fantasy is shot lol
All I can do now is sit back and watch a couple of my clever picks get points (matthews, ulissi, mezgec)
Wow, first to last. I hope you guys didn’t step on me on your way by.
