Re: Re:
He was on my 25 riders shortlist just because of his cq-record. Eventually dumped him for Jerman Ziga, my unique pick so I hope I made the right choice.
I don't expect Evenepoel to score more than 150 points. I think the will rather be in the 35-80 score range (actually I believe Vacek could score more with races in the US) but he could turn out a great pick. And I don't think too much about rider combinations as skidmark does - that's might be...
My team, I like it but I'm not too convinced it's a very good one year one:
ARENSMAN Thymen
BARBIER Pierre
CHAMPOUSSIN Clément
DE KLEIJN Arvid
EVENEPOEL Remco
GALL Felix
HONORE Mikkel Frølich
ISERBYT Eli
JOHANSEN Julius
KANTER Max
NIEUWENHUIS Joris
PIDCOCK Thomas
THIJSSEN Gerben

Still a pretty bad season for Fernandez so far.
Team submitted, never been this fast. I think teams will be very similar this time. I only put one team together and shortly thought about changing two riders but decided against it.
