Vuelta a Andalucia : Pierre Latour is out.
So, check your picks because I suspect many CFF managers picked him because he was just 1 star.
19 hours and 17 minutes left to join or change your picks.

The Volta oa Algarve starts in 20 hours and 27 minutes.

Good luck everyone !  :)

In stage 3 A.Yates won with an impressive solo on Jabel Hafeet.
Groenewegen won sprint stage 4.
Again the finish was on Jabel Hafeet in stage 5. Leading group of 3 ;  Pogačar won the sprint of Lutsenko and A.Yates.

A.Yates is the GC leader and normally he would have won this UAE tour after the next 2 sprint stages.
However, he probably win sooner now or nobody is disginated as GC winner ;
BREAKING NEWS =

The Abu Dhabi Sports Council has cancelled the remaining 2 stages of the 2020 UAE Tour after two Italian participants had tested positive for the novel coronavirus. "The decision has been taken to ensure protection of all the Race's participants," said the Council, adding that "safety comes at the top of all priorities."

In the meantime, the Ministry of Health and Prevention said that all the Race's participants, administrative staff and organisers will be examined through the continuous periodic screening being conducted, and all needed procedures, including quarantine measures, will be taken to ensure viral suppression and curb the spread of its outbreak in coordination with all health and other authorities concerned in the country.

The ministry added that all the necessary precautions to ensure highly efficient preventive measures are being taken, including check-ups and observation of people in contact with patients, to guarantee protection of the society and its safety and preserve public trust.


CFF League :
stage 3 winner = Euroscalt   8)
stage 4 winner = pizzaboys   8)
stage 5 winner = Animatoca   8)
pizzaboys is the GC leader. But let's wait and see who will win this tour (and jersey's) in WCS, because of the extra questions.


Restrepo wins stage 3 and stage 5. In the picture stage 4 winner Tesfazion who is the current GC leader with a good lead of 2:11"

CFF League :
stage 3 winner = Patrick Kok   8)
stage 4 winner = Animatoca   8)
stage 5 winner = Patrick Kok   8)
Animatoca is the GC leader with 3 more stages to go.

After the 2 final stages are canceled because of the corona virus, A.Yates is declared as final GC winner.

CFF League GC winners = Patrick Kok   8)  &  pizzaboys   8)
pizzaboys wins also the sprint jersey.
Patrick Kok wins also the youth jersey.
There is no mountain jersey in this tour.

next races :
men -->  24 hours  left to join. ( 2019= AJFactoryCycling, 2018= Thorin, 2017= oldmen )
women --> 24 hours  left to join. ( 2019= WinterIsComing, 2018= Averatalm )
  2 days left to join. ( 2019= Tarod, 2018= AJFactoryCycling )
  4 days left to join. ( 2019= Vos )

My own note : Don't be surprised if the upcoming Italian races and tours will be cancelled too because of the corona virus.
For example Strade Bianche (7-3), Tirreno-Adriatico (11-3) and Milano-Sanremo (21-3).
And maybe the outbreak of the corono virus may have more effects on the cycling race schedule of 2020.

Hofstetter wins this 1-day-race. 2nd is A. De Gendt. And a surprising 3rd place for the 22yo Dekker, the son of Erik Dekker.

CFF League winner = Patrick Kok   8)


My own note : Don't be surprised if the upcoming Italian races and tours will be cancelled too because of the corona virus.
For example Strade Bianche (7-3), Tirreno-Adriatico (11-3) and Milano-Sanremo (21-3).
And maybe the outbreak of the corono virus may have more effects on the cycling race schedule of 2020.
Yesterday the organisations of SB, TIR and MSR decided that these races will go on as planned.
But with the note that the situation can change any moment.

next race :

It starts (with reservation) in 3½ days. Not yet open to join.
( 2019= WinterIsComing, 2018= Thorin, 2017= MarnixStar )
