I picked Behrens because of how highly they talked about him in the Laterne Rouge podcast. Wouldnt have picked him otherwise as I would think a rider of his stature would be more suited to a few years under the belt to be competitive among the pros.

Just one thing to say: Pogachamp!

My thought process starting picking my roster this year was that every rider needs to be able to double their points. If you look at the winning scores from earlier years a score of 15000 points will be a top result. I started picking low cost riders and suddenly was left with 4000 points and...
