That's pretty unlucky as I was going leave him out for similar reasons, then saw he was bib 1 at The TDU, so decided to take a risk again. This starlist-based 'strategy' has worked very well so far with Brenner, Dinham, O'Connor and Brennan too. Was hoping for a little more from the latter two, but Brennan's surprise win today has hopefully given him the confidence to get some relatively easy points in the upcoming one-day races.

Can´t agree more on that one. Basically the same happenend to me. Wanted to leave Kron out, but than saw him on the startlist with the 1 and I thought it was too risky too leave him out, so luckily he made my team again. Brenner was already on my team before the startlist came out, but I had thoughts of excluding him, but with the startlist these thoughts had been gone..

So basically also a good start for my team. Let´s see, where my name will come up in the first update tomorrow?
Next week doesn´t look too promising for me startlists wise, but the lists are still incomplete so let´s see.
Looking forward to Vansevenant in AiUla and good for me is, that Omrzel had been removed from the startlist for this race. He had also been a rider, where I though a lot of including him. His price in the end made the decicion against him. But as he is in 19 teams, he is of course a rider to look at.
