Cool.
Good race.
1wrangler's had a stormer here.
Wow! He had 1-2-3-5!
Below is the Top 20, which gives wrangler more than enough of a lead to take the day!
Good job!
I've updated with ths cores for riders 21-25, Dumoulin and Hermans got points, so here are the final scores:
1wrangler 93
Aragonite 91
archieboy 86
TERatcliffe26 81

Ta.
I thought archieboy had to clarify his last rider so he could race with a full 5 rider team, but, he did, I just counted them. Oops! Chalk it up to cultural illiteracy!
Ok, here's the official twitter handle for the race:
@DeBrabantsePijl
Registration will last until the race starts tomorrow.
CyclingFans.com is saying the race starts at 12:30pm CET (6:30am U.S. Eastern) and should finish around 5:36pm CET (11:36am U.S. Eastern), so make your choices accordingly.
We've got 6 teams in so far.
Matthews
Gallopin
Rebellin
Hermans
Gasparotto
OK, but only because I hate Spanish beer. But if yours win then I get 100% of the points!
Gallopin
Slagter
Van Hecke
Gasparotto
Pozzato
Hermans, Matthews, Devenyns, Gallopin, and Slagter.
Matthews, Gallopin, Gasparotto, Devenyns, and Maurits Lammertink.
I tip my cap to you, enrique. Gracias por tu forma de pensar. I happen to know a complete nerd who obsessively computes all possible outcomes of races on multiple spreadsheets so I am going to use his picks for a change to see if soulless calculation beats my own inspired choices.
Michael Matthews (Aus)
Julian Alaphilippe (Fra)
Davide Rebellin (Ita)
Tony Gallopin (Fra)

Caballero, no sabe cuanto me encanta que me hablen en espanol. Muchas gracias por escribir en mi lengua. Se lo agradezco. Ah, si supieras! Esta vez no use los 'multiple spreadsheets' para calcular nada. Simplemente me gustan esos corredores mucho! Me da pena que no escogas un equipo original! Anda, por complacerme, cambia por lo menos uno de tus corredores, por favor! Que aburrido que escogas los mismos que yo, ya sea por vagancia o por insistir en tu punto. Me alegraria mucho que partcipiras por participar, porque te gusta! Que te parece, haces un cambio para que ambos nos divertamos, especialmente yo, corrigiendo y sumando totales de equipos verdaderos, que no sean iguales entre si? Un (!) solo corredor que no sea igual es lo que te pido! What do you say? Dame tus 'inspired choices'! Hazlo divertido, Sandy! Que dices, amigo?
Here's my team, just in case we don't get a compeititon open! Of course, it's deliberately stacked team! With the obvious joy of getting to pick first!, which is probably highly unethical and immoral, but? Who ever wins by picking the favorites?... All in fun!
