    Definitely considered him. Was too expensive in the end to fit in. But with only two picks that is a fun rider to have.

    I don't know what happened in regards to Le Samyn but I do I have been following Gabz for some years now. Wasn't the biggest talent but works hard and has been steadily improving over seasons. Last season showed great promise to me, in both Yorkshire and Alentejo. Ofcourzs it always is a hit or...

    Let's break down my team. (Will skip obvious picks +60) Wout van Aert - 898 points (11 picks) Wout van Aert, what a rider. Showed some of his class last year but then got taken out in the tt. He can sprint, punch and tt. A very versatile rider. Considering he didn't ride after that crash, he...

    I guess I did kinda well picking some not so obvious riders. Most-matched are @postmanhat and the man himself @skidmark. Regarding this matter. He's had a lot of bad luck this year and most of it ruined by injuries. So if recovered well and if he can avoid those crashed and injuries next...

    A win for MCN, neat. Was clearly the strongest for that finished but decided to win it before it came to a sprint. From the front, impressive

    ARU Fabio 400 Didn't have quite the season he hoped for in 2018, and sure to bounce back now. No-brainer for me. ASSELMAN Jesper 24 I tend to always let my nationalism take the upperhand in at least 1-2 picks, and that happened again this year. Asselman was out a big part of 2018 with injury and...

    Team submitted, hoping for a top 10 this year. Not as much preparation as last year but more gut and I reckon that could be the way to go. I like my team a lot.
