Super Pogacar, Martinez and Demare drop

Think of Paris-Nice 2023 and the first name that comes to mind is that of Tadej Pogacar, protagonist of the race with three stages and as many jerseys won, including the yellow one in the general classification.

A dominance that is also seen in the tops and flops with a +3 that projects him to be, at the moment, the most expensive rider in Fantacycling at 72.

Our team then increased the value of the riders who collected a good number of points: this is the case of David Gaudu , second and with a good +3 (he now costs 31), Simon Yates, Gino Mader, Neilson Powless, Matteo Jorgenson and sprinter Olav Kooij (all +2). Romain Bardet, Pavel Sivakov and Tim Merlier also deserve a +1. A separate discussion for Jonas Vingegaard : the last winner of the Tour de France limited the damage compared to Pogacar, however, finishing third and obtaining several placings, including the victory in the team time trial. The +1 (now costs 57) has caused discussion but is deserved.

On the flops the biggest disappointment of Paris-Nice is Daniel Felipe Martinez , who was supposed to be the captain of Ineos. And instead he didn't shine at all uphill: -3 lowers his value to 27. Arnaud Demare helped Gaudu in a few sprints with bonuses but was practically absent in the sprint (-2). Finally a -1 for Ion Izagirre, Arnaud De Lie, Maximilian Schachmann, Kaden Groves, Alexander Kristoff, Michael Matthews and Mattias Skjelmose Jensen.
