Men's ITT

It's there now... I did a team for my mum, I put British riders in for her, but when Geraint Thomas was out I put Malori in at the last minute, so she beat me!

I've got no points, have they not put them on or is it just me?

Certainly didn't expect that result!

Same as you TER... 1,2,6,7,9,17 ... & 21st like triccky

not that good for me:

1,6,7,9,12,17,19 (and 21st!)

Wow, Coppel? Really? I missed the race entirely but in my mind those results can only be explained by a betting scheme Martin, Dennis and Dumoulin were part of...

Yeh only gripe with my team was I chose Larsson over moser because of the odds, as for the rest i wouldnt really have changed anything, except it was a toss up between dennis and dumoulin not much difference, and same with my oliveria and dowsett toss up (although expected better from dowsett). Completely caught out by Coppel and Castro, thought theyd go well but more like 8/9/10 not 3 and 4 so never really came into my thoughts

Could have gone better could have gone worse I guess!

1,2,6,7,9,17

oliveria means you will beat me Condor

Didnt realise you had no Bailoblocki Condor, so I could still beat you even though you have Coppel

I think its a Malori, Kiri 1-2 so thats at least something, the rest not so good!

Think ive picked the wrong team the way coppel and Barta et al are going!

Went with:

Dumoulin
Martin
Dennis
Kiryienka
Larsson
Bialoblocki
Bagdonas
Moser

Man, should have gone with my gut! nearly went for Moser rather than Larsson! but then i saw the odds

Quaade wont be scoring any points

yep that is my team, didnt realise the window had shut

Although I suspect your team is:

ROHAN DENNIS (BMC)
MARCIN BIALOBLOCKI (ONE)
TONY MARTIN (EQS)
RASMUS CHRISTIAN QUAADE (CLT)
ADRIANO MALORI (MOV)
VASIL KIRYIENKA (SKY)
ALEX DOWSETT (MOV)
GUSTAV LARSSON (CLT)

The window has closed TER so you are allowed to tell

I have 5 the same as you Joel

I have 2 movistar rider and a cult energy rider as my other 3

I think your lampre rider may be tired

Word on t'internet is that Dumoulin has a muscle injury. So I removed him from my team. Ovechkin's mother has died so he is a DNS.

ROHAN DENNIS (BMC)
MARCIN BIALOBLOCKI (ONE)
TONY MARTIN (EQS)
RASMUS CHRISTIAN QUAADE (CLT)
VASIL KIRYIENKA (SKY)
TAYLOR PHINNEY (BMC)
NELSON OLIVEIRA (LAM)
JAN BARTA (BOA)

I decided Dennis will win

And you cant have the big 3 for me, so it meant either Martin or Dumoulin, so my theory is a slightly unknown but fresher Martin will beat a battered and tired Dumoulin

we shall see

My comment was tongue-in-cheek.

My team has been picked for many hours already.

As always with one-day races, I've picked who I think the top 3 will be, regardless of their price. Doesn't leave me with much, but still think my 5 others can all get top 20. And I'm absurdly over-confident after a full-house in the women's...

Well ive gone for 3 of the 4, as I decided leaving another one out would only change one rider in my team

My toss up was who to leave out out of Dumoulin and Dennis (unless i decide otherwise in the next hour).

check the Womens ITT thread - that game closed at 6:30ish despite the deadline having two and a half hours left on it.
