I lost some points in that crash as well, but it went alright today though. 

Got 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 12 (and 22). I'll settle for that.

Edit: Purist team is going south fast, I only got 3, 7 & 14 -.-

Same here Chris, my team of 8 sprinters was looking great until the crash with 500m to go, and no Eddie Bos has knocked me out of the top 10...was hoping Holfand would do something today, he was looking good but got held up by the crash....suppose you can't fault GVA and Eddie Bos for riding up the front and keeping out of trouble, experience counts...

Not so good today - should've brought in Eddie Bos a day earlier  2

Yeah normally I just pick 2 Quicksteps right off the bat before I even think about the rest of my line-up, so this year has been very confusing...

Often the first stage in Quatar is surprising... this time it found a new way to surpise, that of letting the favorites win in an unexpected way... sprinters should have lost out due to crosswinds, not profited en masse from them, right? Where are the Quicksteps when you need them, eh?
