Sagan, Trepstra and Thomas top 3 at E3

Hello Pro Pickers.  Is it Monday already?  I best get on with the round-up of Friday's E3-Herelbeke then.  It was the first race when all 3 big money velogames picks lined up together, (Sagan, Cancellara and Boonen) and the first race where the sun came out too.  I hear those roads in Belgium are narrow and twisty, so it should come as no great surprise that a lot of people fell over.  The crashes caught Tom Boonen, who hurt his thumb.

And Fabian Cancellara was caught behind a crash when the lead group went clear.  He chased like the hard bastard that he is, but despite going like a motorbike, he couldn't quite get back to the action.

So, either the luckiest, or maybe the strongest of the lot, was Peter Sagan.  He found himself in a lead group with Gerriant Thomas and 2 OPQS riders.  He didn't let the numbers bother him and took the sprint for the line.  And come the podium he managed to keep his hands to himself.

Best score for the race went to, WACA's Wifters.  Warwick must have taken my team criticism to heart, as he now seems to have assembled a nicely rounded Classics squad, shame he had to use up 10 transfers to do it.

And the overall looked like this, with Mungo overtaking the under-performing Bile Beans.

Gent-Wevelgem was on Sunday.  With any luck I'll get around to writing a post about it before the Tour of Flanders starts this weekend.
