Those 3 + no Albanese for me, and then also no Laurance in Limburg. That's that for my hopes this week...Frustrating to see Ayuso, Carapaz and Christen all being removed from Gran Premio Miguel Indurain startlist despite being there before.

I'm afraid you have been choosing your team accorrding to weird crriteria for too long now to understand ordinary players.He's on the preliminary startlist for Vlaanderen. So, you might still get five points.
And Laurance is confirmed for Vlaanderen. You might get 10 points!

Great schedule and a lot of luck so far. Had him 2 years ago and came out with impression that i got really lucky and he won't do it again. But hey, Hirshi-like schedule do wonders👀 at Cosnefoy surprised to see only on 16 teams, he already has more points at this stage then two seasons ago when he scored over 1000.
He was in a tough spot with Carapaz, Hayter, Girmay and Higuita all in the same price range.👀 at Cosnefoy surprised to see only on 16 teams, he already has more points at this stage then two seasons ago when he scored over 1000.
Yes, he was in my longlist, but as i said, i already had him couple years ago and felt lucky he did well.He was in a tough spot with Carapaz, Hayter, Girmay and Higuita all in the same price range.
I could fit three of them in and Hayter/Cosnefroy ended up being cut for me.
I assume many were faced with the same problem.
Piccolo as well. After a promising start he's back to last year's trend of DNFs and constantly being withdrawn from startlists. Laurance probably had a better chance of points at Limburg, but it will be more interesting to see how goes at RVV, along with Tronchon, Turner, Capiot, Vliegen and Valgren.Those 3 + no Albanese for me, and then also no Laurance in Limburg.

Oh, Bettiol... Why is everything always so complicated with you?
Very good outcome, in the end. Will add up to some points!Many races this week.

Chill out, he's already into a decent profit and should turn out to be a a really good pick if he keeps that up for the rest of the year.
I'd like to know too.In addition, your expensive riders are mostly underperforming (again), yet despite all that you are somehow in the top-5 (again). Been meaning to ask this for a while, but what kind of sorcery are you employing?
I've been busy lately but I'll try to compile the list of newcomers this week so we can revive the white jersey if people are interested.Just to touch on something mentioned by a few posters earlier this week which was a suggestion of a younger/older riders classification - the problem with that is that while everyone has 33 riders, selection isn't age limited so teams will have different amounts of riders of different ages.
EvansIsTheBest did pull together a ranking of best newcomer teams last year when they were filling in for me on the updates, but I have not yet done so this year (and failed to pick up on it last year, sorry EITB). I do have covid right now so I'm a lot less busy than usual for the next few days so I'll try to work on that, gotta do something with my time!
I don't have the spreadsheet where I track that stuff with me currently but I want to say it has been around a dozen newcomers each year. I'll get back to you with the precise numbers once I've computed the list of newcomers for 2024.
For me he was in my longlist but I opted against him because I was not convinced that 1000 points was his actual level since he had more seasons in the 600-700 point range or lower and only the 1 season at 1000 points.👀 at Cosnefoy surprised to see only on 16 teams, he already has more points at this stage then two seasons ago when he scored over 1000.
