T Minus 21 hours.

I just have to remember to submit before then.

 

[Sasquatch]

I keep changing my team. Resubmitted another one and playing around with others and swapping riders around. May cancel this last submission and submit this new one yet.

 

[Sasquatch]

I took a risk or two.

 

[Straßenrennen]

i took 30 risks and 3 0pointers.

Nice team. Someone brought ACF's hyping of "TGAK" though ( even though he did ok )

I did not realise Wiggins was so bad. Good picks in Uran, Siutsou, CVV, Nuyens, Kessiakoff and Gerrans.

 

[Tuarts]

I can't decide which combination of <200 youngster I want! If only we could pick 40 rider

EDIT: Well team is sent now, not confident of overall honours but should improve on last year, **** having a 600 point dead weight in the side, surely I must improve Main thing is I like all the riders and hope they do well.

[Ferminal]

Miholjevic?

 

[Ferminal]

Finally bit the bullet and submitted, final change was dropping Sicard for someone who hasn't been good for five years...

 

[Tuarts]

Miholjevic?

Who? (ten char)

We may have the same.

It had nothing to do with ACF. I've followed Kristoff since 2006-2007 sometime so I had him in the team more as a personal favourite than anything else but I also thought there was a chance he could improve on his 2010 points since a lot of the 2010 score was from a few races in the fall and if he could repeat that and ride better the rest of the year then he could be a good and not so typical pick. As it turns out he somewhat managed to copy the good results in the fall but he didn't take that extra step in the early season like I thought he might have been able to.

How was Wiggins bad? He more than trippled his score.

Think he means 2010.

I was about to drop Sicard too while changing my team when The Power Of Greed forced me to to include a 'cheaper' Rui Costa. But when i already had it submitted, it appeared that i have one rider with 'late' points (which i unaccounted) so my team is above the limit. Then being pretty upset i picked Sicard back and not wanting to drop anyone my youngsters, with great sadness upon my heart i dropped one Italian who is 10x underperformer to his previous seasons. I was mad a little bit but then The Power Of Self-Persuasion convinced me that this rider will not better his score much because of the team he rides in for the second year (i'm still not quite sure how should it work but it's important that i managed to persuade myself somehow, so my team still looks pretty flawless in my eyes ).

I thought about Reus as well but dropped him at the very beginnings...

I have this Italian... and agreed, not going to reach their former heights.

Oh, i totally overlooked that Italian guy! I hope he won't be performing as before 2010

 

[Nyssinator]

I have a team at 7501 points...

You' cant go over the budget. even by a single point.

I Picked the Italian guy, but after seeing the team he rides for 2012, I may have made a big mistake.

 

[Nyssinator]

I know. I have to make a change and its going to be so annoying when the one that gets the axe sails away on a winning streak

 

[hrotha]

On the contrary! The Italian national calendar is packed full with relatively big races which will be this Italian's only important objectives after spring! Think of Rebellin this year, only better. Hopefully.

i hope he'll be involved in Tour de France once more, which will ruin his CQ year
edit: or we're talking about different riders
edit 2: we're 100% talking about different riders

Yr. The two time reigning Italian National RR Champion also springs to mind.
Hopefully our Italian will have a similar season

Then I don't know who you're talking about. Unless you're referring to this guy who slips on motorbike oil during TdF descends?
