S&@t, I missed deadline for last 2 picks. Did 5 then wanted to think about final 2. Real life took over & missed deadline.... No chance of 3rd overall now....

Whoops, not a rider in the top 10 today.

Edit - none in the top 20!

Same.... I think I have scored zero - quite an achievement given that I made seven transfers!  Had half an eye on third place for the season (you as well I guess), but Team Greenfield has Mohoric which was an inspired pick and has scuppered us.

Kanter gives me 5 points on team mate bonus..... and only 6 transfers

Yes, I have been wondering if a podium was possible.

Forgot I had Kanter, so will get the 5 too. Went big on sprinters today as I thought it was the most predictable of the remaining races...... shows how much I know!

I think about 150 teams scored 5 or less.... 

Mohoric was my regret... looked at him and decided the next race was too difficult at Lombardia, and that he had very little chance against the genuine sprinters, which made it easier to keep Pogacar.

Only going with six transfers + Pogacar for Lombardia and keeping Trentin with seven transfers for the final day.

Primus results brought to you from the middle of the Aussie bush, using a "thunbnail dipped in tar" (ref Banjo Pattersson).

I think all Autumn Classic deadline times were set the same and early, not knowing when each race started.

No sign of the scores of the Primus Classic Race, at least for me. Chose my team just before going to bed at midnight, only to find that all but two of my choices was removed from the start list, an hour after I had gone to bed and no chance of remedying this when I got up, due to the closing of entries early, this is the second time this has happened to me. Am I the only one this has affected?

I was away from when the race started until this afternoon. Always tough when a few admins are away at the same time.

The Primus Classic Race entry was closed a bit early wasnt it. Apparently it doesnt start until 12:30 CET?  Given the short time am surporised you closed it off 3 hours before the start

I was working on Friday night, got in late and was playing in a tennis tournament early on Saturday. So I smashed in the start list changes when I got in from work, but wasn't able to alter anything on Saturday morning. We'll work on making these classic comps more slick for next year.

I think I've found a new contender for worst information available for a race. The official start list doesn't match the start lists on PCS and First and the race has started.

Tricky set of races for this one. Stage 1 > Stage 2 sums it up well.

And San Sebastián is always a mix of post Tour riders (tired but ultra-fit) and pre-Vuelta riders (fresh but without racing legs) which makes it doubly difficult to predict!
