You should definitely do that. I'm thinking of only selecting riders who are somehow related to more successful riders. Either that or riders who have the exact same weight or height.

I'm thinking about a redheaded Dane team.
Either redheads, or Danes, or redheaded Danes. In fact, I might use that for one of the GT games.
It would be hard for you, cause there are probably not too many riders who are redheaded enough for your liking.
But quite a few who're Danish enough!
So, yeah... it would probably mostly be Danes, and Jack Haig.
You should consider a team made only of riders born in Cuenca, Spain, or Cuenca, Ecuador.
Being a fan of both Blackadder and QI, I also have my eyes on a Filipino junior named John Lloyd Cuenca.
Joan Bou said that after all those years in the breakaways, he now also wants to go for higher goals, like GC, and winning some races, by the way. I guess that's exactly what you expected from him?

Wow. That's a bit niche. I met John Lloyd once, as I'd written a few gags for Spitting Image. Nice fella but the most intimidatingly bright/sharp mind I think I have ever met.
Not a good day yesterday.
No points, gino mader out of GC in Valenciana and now I learn that Ben Healy has a fractured hand and abandons in Bessege.
Has anybody heard something about Healy's injury?

Did you just mention what Healy's injury is, and then ask about his injury?
I think he has a fractured hand.
yeah I did
Only info I found was 'fractured hand' on procyclingstats, just wanted some more detail on how serious the injury is.
Is he out for several weeks or is it just a precaution that he abandons? Don't know if he finished yesterday.

EF tweeted this yesterday. It doesn't clarify for how long they expect him to be sidelined or if it might require surgery, but a hand injury shouldn't keep him from training in one way or another. And perhaps a short break now will be mean he'll be able to get better results later in the year

Thanks for the update.
I left twitter when Musk took over, only thing I miss are cycling updates :-(

You lasted way longer than me.
Well, it seems I should be already allowed to lose faith, at least faith in that he will score some points for Etoile de Besseges GC, which makes it his 5th consecutive race in which he'll likely score 0. Not great for a 500+points pick.
One time I tried to log back to my twitter account, but I forgot my passowrd. I tried to reset my password via e-mail, but it wouldn't let me, because it demanded that I tell my username (which didn't equal to my e-mail address) before it sends a new password, which I didn't remember either.
It doesn't look great now, but there's still plenty of time for him to repair damage.
But you never know when!
I already know when, cause it happened at about 19:24 CET.
And I still think that was the best play. At what point does he become a good pick? 700? 800? He might get there, but you never know.
Last year, Van Gils won the Saudi Tour and Buitrago finished on the podium while Evenepoel and Rodriguez got on the podium in Valenciana. That was enough to win the week and really set the stage for the rest of the season. This time I have, hmm, Thomas Gloag on pace for a top 5 in Valenciana. Well at least my 2022 team is doing great again.
