Not exactly true. You did correctly identify the number of allowed stage huntresses for TDU.
I do in fact know the difference between 1 and 2. I'm not that numerically changelled!

As with the Emerging Riders game, just decided to enter the game this year (my first CQ game) and I'm really looking forward to be more aware of the women's scene because of it.
I'm not as big a follower of women's road cycling as I am of MTB and CX and so I'm not really confident of having a very successful season, but let's go for it!

I had 11 of RhD's riders written down, but I thought for sure Elinor Barker, Nienke Vinke and Julie Norman Leth would have been there, too.
Yeah, I missed a few popular picks it seems like but still enough to be in the middle of the popular ranking even though that ranking doesnt have to mean everything.
One unique pick, Amber van der Hulst. Hopefully a rider that could have a breakthrough. She is one of those riders I dont know much about, that just ended up on my team

The Collective Wisdom team is slightly over budget, but it's not the first time I have allowed that.
A bit more data later, but we have guests arriving soon.
This is obviously a factor that we have not been used to considering when making selections for the men's games...I was at one point very close to making a huge mistake. A mistake I now see that others have made. Since she didn't achieve her best results in 2022, Chantal van den Broek-Blaak seemed like a pretty good rider to have for the classics, but she is currently pregnant and won't be racing in 2023.
Rufs has quite brilliantly picked Ysland (I also like that Nosková has made it in), but also has both Van den Broek-Blaak and Lisa Brennauer, who retired after last season (and who's also currently pregnant).
