I really wanted to see the rider from the Vatican do well, but he has already been dropped unfortunately. I am not sure we'll ever see someone compete from there again, I doubt they have many pro cyclists at the Vatican.

 

[Bonaparte]

I spotted him on the start list, over 40 years old and seems to be a world champs specialist

 

[Ironhawk]

Pogacar far too good, yet again. In a class of his own.

Picked the wrong Aussie in my selections - well done to Ben O'Connor on silver! Great effort.

Ends a successful championships for the Aussies.... And Pogi is a freak!

Woosie moves into 5th spot overall after top scoring in that event.

One event to go, Il Lombardia, and it will be held this weekend. You will make three selections in this race, however you can only choose one of the following five riders among your picks (I'm probably pretty much just identifying four riders you won't be able to pick):

Il Lombardia Favourites:
R Evenepoel
M Jorgenson
E Mas
T Pogacar
P Roglic

Good luck.

Sounds like Roglic is giving it a miss

Yeah, he was questionable from what I read, not a surprise he pulled out, but figured he deserved inclusion if he did start. I'll keep the same list.

 

[Ironhawk]

Il Lombardia starts in around 19 hours time for those yet to pick. I'm sure you're well aware, but just a friendly reminder.

@chels @Old Big 'Ead

 

[Dravid]

For those like me who picked him, Pidcock is out.

You can still change prior to the race starting.

 

[Dravid]

You can still change prior to the race starting.

Yeah wasn't too worried about the ability to change my pick... More worried about finding someone to pick that doesn't ride for UAE!

 

[Ironhawk]

Still waiting on one lot of picks, race starts in an hour.
