This image of all the World Tour jerseys could be handy. It's going to be a challenging season to tell this lot apart at times.

Wonder if Stannard's injured? He hasn't raced since Valencia at the start of the month and isn't in the provisional line up for anything in the next couple of weeks.
Always have Paris - Nice as the proper start to the season as it's the first race riders will reasonably have as a specific target. Anyone who's capable of winning Het Nieuwsblad should really have their sights on something bigger.

I'm more than willing to subscribe to this view. The first race that I really look forward to is Strade Bianche, which of course is the same weekend as Paris-Nice, just for different folks.
I presume you don't see much point in anything after Lombardia?Last edited by Kevin S; 20-02-2018, 12:39.

For. Fuck's. Sake.
Cav taken out by a car seemingly brake-testing the peloton in the neutral zone in the Abu Dhabi Tour. Apparently he fell on the shoulder he broke in the TdF last year, and has abandoned.

It looks like it's still 8 competitions to play in the free version.

The main ones that most people go for are:
1. Spring Classics
2. Giro
3. Tour de France
4. Vuelta
5. Worlds
That leaves 3 more competitions to play. Criterium du Duaphine is its own stand alone competition, from what I recall, most people sign up for that. There's also Paris-Nice and Tirreno-Adriatico. Tour of Britain is also popular I believe, I've never entered it. I usually do the Tour of California though I think I may be the only one.

I didn't see it happen, but there was word going around that a lot of the cars have the automatic braking system, and if they don't disengage that, then as soon as a bike rider comes close, it brakes," Renshaw told reporters who had congregated by the Dimension Data team cars after stage 1 of the Abu Dhabi Tour.

Feeling a bit hipster as I'm watching Kuurne Brussels Kuurne on Sporza, though this is cos I couldn't find an English language stream. Sunny but cold in Belgium, everyone is wearing leg warmers. Jasper Stuyven is attempting to repeat his solo win in this race the other year, he's got about 40 seconds with 27k left though the gap is coming down, will probably end in a sprint. Daniel Oss was also away with him but got caught by the peloton just before he reached the team buses, so he abandoned immediately. The commentators appeared rather amused by this.

Steppers trying the old one-two in GP Le Samyn today, Gilbert and Terpstra are taking it in turns to attack Direct Energie's Damien Gaudin who is the only rider able to stay with them. Terpstra is away at present with about 12k left. Last year's winner Guillaume van Keirsbulck has just been dropped from the group behind.
