Re: Re:
Yeah, I see what your saying but sooner or later they gone get it right with that also.
I think both Kanter and Power will get their chances. Kanter could be a Jakobsen/Hodeg type of situation. Definitely has potential.
Power showed enough in punchy mid-tier one-day races that I think he can and will continue to do that. He has also managed to actually win them, in comparison to other riders with just potential.
Vervaeke is whatever. I had some more points, so I just skimmed through that point-range and picked him. He had not completed a few races last year. So just completing them should mean more points. Hopefully a result on a stage or one-day race can happen. You never know...

POWER Robert 363 - 6th at SB and won two other one-day races. Changed team from Mitchelton-Scott to Sunweb for 2019. Only 23 years old. He is only on 5 teams, so really hope he gets it going at Sunweb
KANTER Max 200 - Another young rider with a good sprint.
FRANKINY Kilian 138 - From BMC to Groupama this year. Young climber with potential. My only unique pick
VERVAEKE Louis 66 - Still only 25. A lot of races he left and had to DNF or DNS right in the end of them, last year. Catalunya was his biggest achievement last season. I think he can get some better results this year. Will probably be riding in a supporting role most of the times though.
First, that is cool that you got Frankiny with a unique pick. I didn't consider him seriously this year, but looking at his situation, sometimes a change of team and calendar can unlock things for a developing rider, so definitely worth a shot. For the Sunweb riders - I strongly considered picking alot of them, they have a bunch of young talent like Storer, Hamilton, Hindley, etc... but therein lies the problem. They've got their GC guys in Dumoulin, Oomen, Kelderman, and they've got their classics guys in Matthews, Andersen... which of the remaining opportunities go to whom? It's hard to divine into who will get chances and who will be used for the leaders. Power might fit into an interesting niche, as he showed himself a good GC rider in his youth but has really done well as a CQ pick in punchy mid-tier one-day races. So he could be a good pick. Just hard to say with that team, I find.
