Se nota que yo no valgo mucho para hacer predicciones de ciclistas...porque casi siempre quedó de los últimos...jajaja....pero bueno...me gusta mucho el juego..tanto esté como el cycling fantasty...los 2!

Neccesitas una victoria más en una carrera de un día, y eres el líder en el Chief of Classics Trophy.
Entonces todos tenemos que llamarte ; jefe ( o patrón ) ! 

Pero me imagino si ninguno de los participantes de la CFF quiere unirse a Milán-Sanremo,
porque soy superior en esa carrera clásica y la volveré a ganar.    

[ophiuko]

According to those trophies, I'm not doing so bad. It seems I know the young riders better 

Pero me imagino si ninguno de los participantes de la CFF quiere unirse a Milán-Sanremo,
porque soy superior en esa carrera clásica y la volveré a ganar.    

Well, I was never participating in MSR, this year you have to beat me 

[Vos]

According to those trophies, I'm not doing so bad.

This is an understatement ; looking at the positions, you have the best average of all CFF participants = 4º, 3º, 1º, 3º, 2º, 1º
Also Mitte ( who has also not much experience in the CFF League ) is doing great at the moment = 3º, 7º, 1º, 2º, 1º, 2º
Of course, the first two season trophies are the most important. 
Although, to me the Emperor Trophy and the 3 Big Tour Trophies have also big importance. Especially because I never won a big tour.

Well, I was never participating in MSR, this year you have to beat me 

I will  , because the final climb is too difficult to unexperienced CFF managers, 
so if you are wondering on the Poggio who that dot in the distance is ; that is me.

WHAT A WINNER. I was screaming to my television.

Stuyven is the surprising winner of Milan Sanremo, 2nd Ewan and 3rd van Aert.

CFF League winner = Kalarratas   
It was extreme close ; ophiuko and Animatoca finished just 1 point behind Kalarratas.
Funfact ; nobody picked Stuyven.
Perhaps wacco(/PieterJanVB) would have picked his fellow country man if he would have joined the MSR CFF League.

Solo victory of Asgreen thanks to domination of his team Deceuninck - Quick-Step.
32 seconds later, his teammate Sénéchal won the sprint of the chasing group of 6. van der Poel finished as 3rd in this classic race.

CFF League winner = pizzaboys 

Ups, I forgot to check my picks one day before or the morning before the race.
When I joined, van der Poel was not on the starting list, so I forgot to pick him. Two others had the same, because he is an obvious pick.
Despite this, I almost won it because I was the only one who picked Asgreen.
But then again, maybe I would not picked him(= 3 stars) if I had seen van der Poel(= 5 stars), a to me certain pick.
Anyway, this time pizzaboys outsmarted me, bravo !
But of course that will not happen in Gent Wevelgem that starts in 1 day and 10 hours.
