Aaargh, having an annoying time changing goalposts in my team. Turns our one of my riders did the Tour of Hainan after I got all the results. Thinking of changing the whole team structure now...

Ha took me awhile to figure out who you were talking about Hitch/Kvinto, thought I missed an obvious one. Actually found him awhlie ago thanks to the magic of excel, "did not want" though, unless in special cases once riders start declining at a certain age, I made a specific note to stay away.

Team resubmitted now :)

EDIT: ah I see now we're naming anyway :p

****, people been using excel to find riders.

Now when it is okay to name some of the riders, I am interested if many have faith in HAEDO Juan Jose :eek: At least I hope he will prove to be a good pick :)

And also whether or not to pick Anton, as I am very much in doubt of him.

Id love to have Heado, had him this year, but dont have 400 points spare.

How do you know?

How do I know her team is on the list or that it's a not very good team?

The list is on the front page and she's on it for the first bit.

The second bit is because I've seen her team, and I was engaging in some mild teasing/smack talk.

Radical rethink after months of cautious shuffling. Ah well, the team should be slightly more individual anyhow.

My mail box is red hot at the moment. It's pretty clear that we're nearing us closing hours. I got 6 PM's the last 30 minuttes and, I guess, about 30 today!

You've seen it? :confused:

i thought you're looking for the list of participants, the teams ain't yet revealed of course...

But he said that it wasn't a good team, so I thought they were already revealed.

Im going into ruthless mode. Dropping Majka even though everyone else has him and its kind of expected of me.

I've got Majka too. :)

I'm not going to change anything because I don't know anything about it anyway and my whole team just consists out of riders with a bad season last year, youngsters (because they improve, right?), nobody's with a nice name and few points, and my personal favourites (but no Contador)...:eek:

Oof! After months of long-listing, short-listing, number-crunching, second-guessing, third-guessing, taking a break, fourth-guessing, I've finally come up with a team that has a good mix of 'tactical' picks and riders who I like. Last big moves (that I've been thinking about for weeks) had me drop my highest rider (Farrar) and incorporate a 4-way trade for 2 500-pointers that I like (now my highest scorers), a 200-point sprinter that I don't like but think will more than double his score, and a young roll of the dice that allowed me to go under 7500. On the plus side, I got to get rid of Farrar and Devolder, who I don't like, but I also had to chop Quintana and Slagter, who I rather do.

Ah well, tough decisions, we'll see how it pans out. Hugo, if there are any problems let me know!

:eek: All those efforts and concerns... Not for me, I'll see where I end up.
