Sorry armchair, after commenting I intended to do the team but in the end didn't find the time to sit down with the laptop and do it right.

Presumably you mean the decision to pick her, not DB herself.1-2 for my unique expensive picks in the men's race, 1-4-5 in the women's and Van Empel already at as many losses as she suffered all of last season, what's not to like?
The answer is Denise Betsema.
I had missed that news, as presumably had 4 others. Rare and unique exclusions could be just as valuable as rare and unique picks.Pieterse is returning in mid-December, so unlikely to be a good pick in this game.

How have I finished 600 points behind Josedin in the weekly standings while extending my lead over them in the overall?
If you want to send in a team, I can put it unranked below the table, like I do for Collective Wisdom and other non-player teams in the other games. And @Cordi333 has said similar up the thread, as did @postmanhat in a PM.Dang. I wanted to do this to learn more about cyclocross, but was off line for two weeks. I guess I'll create a fake team and watch and learn anyway.
Codazo sendedIf you want to send in a team, I can put it unranked below the table, like I do for Collective Wisdom and other non-player teams in the other games. And @Cordi333 has said similar up the thread, as did @postmanhat in a PM.
So I will make that offer to all (including but not limited to others missing from last year: @rote_laterne2 and Muddy Waters, if Cordi could darle un codazo at PC), but be sure and have them in by the beginning of next weekend's races, or it gets very silly.
