Paris-Nice and Tirreno-Adriatico: Slack Pance

Hello. Is it Thursday already? It seems like just the other day we were in the thick of Paris-Nice and Tirreno-Adriatico. And then I missed a few posts, and everything was over. In case you weren't paying attention, Bradley Wiggins won Paris nice.

He looked pretty calm throughout the race, and with a bunch of time trial miles to come in the Tour this year, he's looking good for a high placing in Paris. Also doing nicely in the race was runner-up Lieuwe Westra, who could well be a man to watch in the future.

In the Tour de Pance league, it was that canny Vestan Pance who got the win, but it was mostly due to the use of all his transfers rather than any smart picks.

Over in Italy, Vincenzo Nibali won Tirreno-Adriatico after squeezing out Chris Horner in the final time trial.

In the mini-league it was those Roulers who took first place, even after that canny Vestan Pance used all his transfers to try and strengthen his team.

Anyway, as you may know, the Fantasy Classics are nearly here. Which means it's time to get those teams picked and entered in the mini-league. Due to yet more incompetence on my part, I seem to have two Tour de Pance leagues going, so lets try and agree on this one. So pick those teams, and make sure you're picking guys who might actually be riding the races. There's a Milan-San Remo start list over here. Good luck y'all!
