Final Spring Classics Fantasy Pool Standings

The final round of the Canadian Cyclist Spring Classics Fantasy Tour - Sponsored by Specialized was the oldest of the Spring Classics: Liege-Bastogne-Liege. After all the points were tabulated, we have had a significant change in the lead, with KHAY moving up from second to take victory (with 144 points), and win the Specialized S-Works Roubaix frame worth $3999.99!

Former leader Landwaster dropped to fifth, since he was missing L-B-L winner Danilo Di Luca (Liquigas) from his lineup. Moving into second place is Team Mini (132 points), who wins over $1000 worth of Specialized kit, including S-Works Road Shoes, a Decibel Helmet, a Toupe Saddle, Tarzo Optics and either a Quickstep or Gerolsteiner Jersey.

Third through fifth all had 131 points (positions based on entry dates), led by our Editor - who is not eligible for prizes. Therefore, NicA takes the third place prize of a Decibel Helmet, a Toupe Saddle, Tarzo Optics and either a Quickstep or Gerolsteiner Jersey (total value $689.96), and former leader Landwaster wins a Decibel Helmet, Tarzo Optics and either a Quickstep or Gerolsteiner Jersey ($509.97). Intermediate winner Jiggs, with 128 points, takes the fifth and final place prize, consisting of a Decibel Helmet and either a Quickstep or Gerolsteiner Jersey (value $349.98). All of our winners will be contacted and must respond within one week with sizing and shipping address information.

KHAY's winning squad consisted of:

Oscar Freire (Rabobank)
Tom Boonen (QuickStep-Innergetic)
Juan Antonio Flecha (Rabobank)
Michael Boogerd (Rabobank)
Alessandro Ballan (Lampre-Fondital)
Alessandro Petacchi (Milram)
Thor Hushovd (Credit Agricole)
Danilo Di Luca (Liquigas)
Davide Rebellin (Gerolsteiner)

What ended up making the difference was that KHAY had Ballan (both KHAY and Team Mini had Ballan) and Rebellin (which Team Mini was missing).

We want to thank the hundreds of people who participated in our Spring Classics Pool, and to Specialized for providing the fantastic prizes. The next Canadian Cyclist Fantasy Tour - Sponsored by Specialized is the Tour de France. Start thinking about your selections now.
