   Where’s @BuckRogers, did Uncle Sam send him to go undercover somewhere? Last thing I know, German internet still is operational.

   I’m kinda missing his erudite use of the finer points of English language.

3. Hmm I need to work out how t calculate equal places in the spreadsheet!

   

4. OK so if you get a position that finishes in the bunch then you get the points for that position (ie for 4th and 5th picks in the bunch you get 3 and 2 respectively) and the 1 point extends to cover the bunch.

    It does leave an open question where the bunch is given the same time but I guess we should stick with over the line – it certainly makes it easier to calculate!

    If it’s possible for me to swap out Coquard for Naesen for Gent-Wevelgem, please do so. Thanx!

    @Cary – did you submit for the Women’s race?  I’ll check back if I missed that.

    That is dry it a prerequisite. I wouldn’t ever have registered licks for the men or the women if it were.

    Reading tea leaves, complicated systems using D & D dice, darts or letting the kids/dogs/cats choose are all acceptable.

    I just chose the top five from the last race and jumbled them round a bit.

17. Bollocks. Fat fingers and iPhones!

    The scores clearly show that most of the rest of us don’t either!

    Yes. Easy fix: @Rob Sandy = (@RobSandy/10)

    That will help me quite a bit.

21. Viviani was gutted at the end there, just got a bit boxed as Sagan went for it.  Great timing by Sagan.

    happy to see Wout Van Aert in the top 10.  with luck, he’s going to be formidable for a decade plus.

35. It will be interesting to see how/where Nibble shakes up RVV.  The climbs/descents may not be long enough to make the same impact he had at MSR but it’s going to make it interesting I’m sure.

    1. Sagan

    2. Benoot

    3. GVA

    4. Kwiato

    I just noticed… shouldn’t I have 2 points in Gent women’s race for Pieters’ 5th place, despite my spelling error?

39. GVA is due, but Sag looked strong in GW, not betting against him this time.

    Good spot!  The danger of the manual process.  Makes you outright winner too and tweaks the current standings……

    Well, in that case it might appear as self-serving, but it’s not.  I’m still duplicating the spreadsheet tracking of everyone’s picks.  If any scores don’t match, we’ll look into it.  I didn’t get to update my chart until today due to something called a “day job”.  Completely over-rated.

42. @MangoDave

    Ha Ha.  No it’s fine it’s good to have a checker(s) as with it being manual mistakes are bound to happen.

    Day job?  Already forgotten what that was.  Retirement is much to be recommended!

43. RVV men:

    1)  Sagan

    2)  Van Avermaet

    Looks Naesen not racing on Sunday, so can I please have Benoot in his place instead? Thanx!

47. haha nobody’s betting against Sagan this weekend.  i think Boassen Hagen is gonna be good too, as well as Lampaert, based on Dwars. should be interesting.
