And within half an hour of that post, I got an entry which totals 3004 points submitted. The manager in question is on the case But because that team is currently listed as one short, I have 9 entries and 107 picks logged so far. Those 107 riders represent 68 different riders, 50 of them...

I hope you have not deleted all your notes and calculations from the game that Skidmark runs. That same price list applies to the Spring Classics Game. In short, a team of 12 male riders, to a maximum cost of 3000 points, to score in twenty four 1 .PT or 1.WT one day races from Omloop to...

Best possible team Interesting to see that, although she was not in profit for the year, Brand still makes the best possible team: that's food for thought in picking tactics...

Trying to resolve my tracking of scores with those of PCS, although their scores have some oddities (like giving a 16 year old Swedish girl points from a ME race in the US, and including 2025 Waaslandcross in the rankings points for this season) I underscored Chaladonova by 40 points and...

When I first saw that sleevepatch, my thought was "They still use fax machines in Denmark?"

As to suggestions of marginalising sprint finishes: I wonder to what extent sprint finish towns subsidise MTFs in stage races. Basic geographical/historical requirements for a human settlement mean they are more likely to be in major valleys or coastal plains. The venues of sprint finishes...

I guess this is another place where I can drop a reminder about the Spring Classics Game: teams by Saturday morning (European time)

I waited 10 days so that the update might include Clasica de Almeria: really needn't have bothered. TRINCA COLONEL Monica 109 UAE GC 2nd and 2nd on a stage 1 (Rufs) VOLLERING Demi 107 Settimana Valenciana GC win and 2 stage wins 2 (Los Brolin, Samu) LIPPERT Liane 88 Vuelta Valenciana...

It's the name of the company that runs most of the Turkish races, so no co-incidence that the name evokes cycling. It's like having a Trophée ASO or GP Flanders Classics.

And so it ends: Waaslandcross, Brussels University and the untelevised (by TNT at least) final fling at Oostmalle. Armchair Devil's Elbow JR1012 RhD Samu Vandeputte Niels 230 . 230 . . Alvarado Ceylin del Carmen 212 . . . . Kuypers Gerben . . . . 166 Norbert Riberolle Marion...

I have locked the thread that I had opened for discussion of the merger. If anyone feels strongly that some content there belongs in this thread, PM me.

Rather than have uncertainty about whether posts about Lotto-Intermarché belong here or in the thread that had Lotto chat before the merger thread, I'll close this one. If anyone feels strongly that any posts here need to be transferred to that one, PM me.

In this game (not the GT games, where all picks must actually be riding) it is allowable to leave a spot empty, but perhaps marginally better to pick freebies even if they are unlikely to score, so by extension it is permissible to pick anyone who might not score, and technically that does not...

But those of us that have seen your teams in the last couple of years know that you'll keep the most expensive two of that dozen, then fill the team out with also-rans from the 1908 Paris-Brest.

I could have sworn that the commentator last week said that there was one more televised race to come. Looks like no more mud until October then...:(
