The person signing italian riders to Team UKYO must be a genius.

Team SD Worx have been on a really good run last couple of years. But i think we see the first signs of decline. It's very early but i will file this at the back of my brain.

First race of the year yesterday for Jordan Jegat. Thought he looked crazy good. Sure, competition not the strongest. But, he could be dangerous for some serious upsets in huge races this year. Let's see if he got it today as well.
#GrandBesançonDoubs #TourduJura
Think this is my best Fantasy pick ever. Did anybody have Koch at 5 stars.
#ParisRoubaix
Studying Franziska Kochs career trajectory through her stats. Believe she is way better than her stats show. She would be very high on my list of riders i'd like to sign. Key for her now is to find just the right NEW team. Who i don't know. Best guess initially, not one of the big ones.
#TDFF2025
Franziska Koch has replaced the role Juliette Berthet played previous year. Second strongest rider on FDJ behind Vollering thus far. If i'm not mistaken, best signing of the year. She is so good, the team didn't matter in the end.
I take the alibi riding back. Gutsy performance from van der Poel since Arenberg.
#ParisRoubaix
Last man standing is the one to win.
#ParisRoubaix
van der Poel alibi riding at the front of his group. Never going to close a 2 min gap. This way he can justify saying, he tried his best to win, to the reporters after the race.
#ParisRoubaix
Pogacar having to close the gap by himself is not good. Needs to be much better than everybody to win now.
#ParisRoubaix
Must be nice to be John Degenkolb. Today is the only day he has to do his very best. All other days he just pretend to be a pro rider.

Yes.
There is always something happening to Mikel Landa. Thought actually a fifth to tenth position in GC was possible. But no more.
#Itzulia
Also notable. Not a UAE rider close to the podium.
#GPIndurain
Clear step forward for Lidl-Trek. Two riders top 5. Will put that to memory for the future in Fantasy. Does this little wave mean Juan Ayuso wins Itzulia Basque Country. Tempted to go all in on that premise.
#GPIndurain
Staying away from Lidl-Trek as much as possible. It's mindblowing, how bad they are atm.

The other three that got eliminated with Moors was Norsgaard, Bauernfeind and Vanpachtenbeke.
It's more and more looking like Gaia Realinis destiny is the same as now retired Marta Cavalli. And i should have picked Fleur Moors instead. Had 4 places open and 8 riders to select from. Fleur was eliminated at that time. Knew she had talent, but it's hard to know when youngsters break-out.
The poor results is really weighing on the team. Lidl-Trek DS, think it was Gregory Rast, acting like a twat. Get away cameraman so i can cheat.
#iff26
van Aert and van der Poel getting caught like this would never have happened on their peak years. Both slowly declining but still capable of winning monuments.
#InFlandersFields
Picked 5 good to great riders. But the rest is bad to atrocious. Carlos Rodriguez should have changed teams when he had the chance. I thought he was destined to win a Grand Tour a couple of years ago. Safe to say, i've changed my mind on that.
#VoltaCatalunya
Regarding Jayco. Australian team. Team always starts fast due to cycling season starts in Australia. Will slowly sink in the rankings as the season goes along. Let's see if my 17th prediction is correct. Not worried yet.
It’s late March, and the two predictions most off so far are Lidl-TREK and Astana. I understand why Lidl is where they are - riders underperforming, except for standouts like Ayuso and Milan. And, i need to reassess my view on Astana; they’re better than I think in general terms.
Needed some good news about my predictions. Latest couple of days have been tough in Fantasy. Carys Lloyd was my one outsider pick on Movistar. Eight other riders on the team are not beating her 432 UCI-points.
#RondeVanBrugge
My team in Catalunya. The off-beat choices, and the reason i will do well this week is Lipowitz, Govekar and Carlos Rodriguez.
#VoltaCatalunya
First scattered thoughts are starting to form about Thor Hushovd not being as effective a General Manager as he was a pro cyclist. The newcomers on the women’s team aren’t performing, and the men’s classics team is a major question mark. It's early, but warning bells are ringing.
#uno-x
My team on Velogames in Nokere Koerse WE. Currently 90th position in FANTASY WOMENS CLASSICS 2026.
#DanilithNokereKoerse
Jasmin Liecht is heading to UAE after this year? Her combination of core strength and speed is exactly what UAE Team ADQ wants in their riders. My guess is she’ll sign with them after this year.
