Regarding the budget/squad size I think its fine as it is, simply as many of us are not big experts on women cycling and making a team of 16 for 4000 is a lot easier and less time demaning to do decently than for instance something like the Mens format 33/7500, and yes it means cutting out a lot...

As usual its clear you have done your homework very well with great analysis and research of it all You definetly succeed in making me scared about Morgado. He could indeed be the new UAE-Hirschi in the 1 day races and be a very good pick if he manages to keep his best form most of the year...

Interesting though in that aspect that the last 2 changes of Dunbar and Krijnsen (focussing more on getting closer to the 7500 than on optimising the team to Vlasov and Behrens) made my team 28 picks more popular :) But would still have been nr 1 with the other choises :)

Very strong team and quite similar to my own. O'Connor instead of Uijtdebroeks was not that far away for me either, Dunbar only got out the last night to get closer to 7500 and also considdered Gaudu, Lamperti , Politt, Bjerg, D Martinez, Crabbe, Verstrynge and Vermaerke closely, so we have...

I think its Laporte for sure

My team with a few thoughts: SEIXAS Paul 661 Im ashamed I skipped him last year astoo young. Could not miss out again and should get a lot more races to score this year, would also expect him to be quite popular UIJTDEBROEKS Cian 614 Missed most of the season last year and looks to be free...

Without revealing the rest I also have 11 riders between 200-300, but could easily have had a few more

Yes with so many good options this year it will likely be hard to get so many very similar teams, even for us 2 that have often had very similar teams (except not so much last year) Maybe I should be less obsessed by that 7500 number next year. I think I have always had 7490 as the minimum to...

Also sent in my team now. Made a bit of a impulsive change of 2 riders in the end tonight, that I didnt really think through much and may regret later, but had to get the team to be 7499 points instead of 7486 as it had been the last few days, as those 14 unused points were just annoying me too...

Pretty sure you are right then!

It was mentioned in danish TV that got a text from his girlfriend, that Kron had crashed out, so I guess it could be even worse than if it was just bad form. But definetly some wasted chances of points for him now. Hopefully its not too bad.

Shared nr 1 :) Funny enough I actually had the same feeling, with my rarest pick Henrik Pedersen. Its always fun to win the popular-ranking, and clearly felt I would have to pick Lorenzo Finn instead if I was to have a chance to win that for the last spots, that I knew would be quite popular...

Almeida might be more reliable and has the Mou-improvement hype joker factor also this year, but do you really think most likely riding 2 GTs as helper, is a better race programe than Ayuso being captain in 1 GT that will be the easiest to win next year and with him generally never riding with...

Yes out teams defiently ended up quite different this year especially for the expensive picks, but I guess thats also the toughest ones and if I had not dumped Vingegaard the last days it would have been more similar I guess. Anyways your team look very strong as usual I had also noticed those...

Good point, and for sure I think Behrens can also be a decent pick like Eekhoff was the next year, I just think that he is unlikely to do anything really good with his type and team role. But its not like I think he will be a very bad pick either, my expectation for him is just a bit mediocre.
