    Incorrect skippos, 10 bucks says I barely watched any of it before falling asleep :(
     
  3. Skippos SM Morgan

    sucks :(

    completely obliterated the peleton last night 15ks before the finish. Ended up in about a 2k long straight line as he put an immense and long turn in.
     
  4. KickATinAlong IA Ryabovol

    fuuuu, only just realised he hadn't been picked :(
     
  5. Skippos SM Morgan

    Ah man. I'd forgotten him.

    'tis not like my classics unit needs boosting, mind.
     
  6. KickATinAlong IA Ryabovol

    Was talking about Coquard ftr
     
  7. Skippos SM Morgan

    Oh, gun. I'll take that as a compliment :p
     
  8. Jabba HJ Bots

    How many events would each rider look to be competing in through a season?

    How often does a rider get injured? Can it be a common thing?

    Oh man I love your team.

    So many blokes I love.
     
  13. KickATinAlong IA Ryabovol

    Really only 6 riders I'm properly disappointed I missed out on - Quintana, Rojas, Moser, Kristoff, Dani Moreno & Nordhaug
     
  14. Skippos SM Morgan

    Just looking at it I reckon two more rounds to take it to 32 are necessary. Otherwise squads seem a little short and we see too many blokes getting fucked fatigue wise by doing the continental events.
     
  15. KickATinAlong IA Ryabovol

    So 32 or 30? Kinda determines who I pick :p

  18. Noble One RS Yamadera

    Left my picks with Skippos. Not sure if it's worth waiting for Vimes considering he missed several rounds now.
     
  19. Skippos SM Morgan

    Yep, good idea. We'll wait for Vimes.
     
  20. Noble One RS Yamadera

    No problem, Ill pass another name through on the slight chance Vimes takes one of my picks.
