The top riders in Cobblestone League have been slow to make their appearance. None undertook the long journey to Australia for the Tour Down Under, but in Period 2 Almeida was in Spain and Vingegaard was due to take on the UAE tour. Almeida was well beaten by Evenepoul in Valencia and my decision to go with the Danish number one looked a good one as I briefly sat in top spot following my top three full house in the Cadel Evans. The Visma leader has suffered both illness and injury and his replacement by Kelderman however negated all this. My week was further spoilt by Milan’s crash yesterday seeing my slip to 8th in the rankings. My hope now is that Yates climbs better than Del Torro tomorrow.
Good luck tomorrow
Yes I agree
