Forum competition: pick a 3.0 rider...
Just a thought for an off-the-cuff contest for us forum types - each 'adopt' a rider currently rated 3.0, and track them through the season. Whichever rider has the highest aggregate fantasy points at the end of the final race of the season wins (or rather, the person who picked them does).
The deadline for picking has now passed, so here are your riders:
Ghedebrav: Matej Mohoric
ray sylvester: Fronk Schleck
drheaton: Riccardo Zoidl
NeilG83: Cristophe Kern
DylanChurchill: Caleb Ewan
stumps: Michael Hepburn
Dave Atkinson: Julian Alaphillipe
livestrongnick: Gabriel Rasch
enrique: Axel Domont
JAndrewHill: Janez Brajkovic
chiv30: Jesse Sergent
TERatcliffe26: Johan Esteban Chaves Rubio
giff77: Mikhail Ignatyev
plynie: Alexander Rybakov
Gizmo: Rick Zabel
Twybados: Lasse Norman Hansen
Timbo13: Sebastian Henao

Sergent,Hepburn and Rasch named provisonally for Qatar
i see Domont on 29 then Flakemore on 24 points as top 2 3.0 rated riders
yes ray .flakemores approved ty.its Domont on 29 and flakemore on 24pts .thanks for keepin track m8
I make it Domont on 28.....9+3+1+8+7(I think the rankings page is showing 29 because of a point carried over from last season in the 12 month rolling year as scored by the site)
Domont(enrique) 28
Flakemore(arcadiak) 24
Domont(enrique) 21
Ignatyev(giff77) 17
Alaphillippe(Big Boss Dave Atkinson) 9
Zabel(gizmo) 7

Ghedebrav set a deadline of End of the TDU so.......last chance guys....still some decent riders left including San Luis stage winner Arredondo.....Mederel,Bernaudeau and Pichot who could reasonably be expected tpo feature in the TDF....Young Italian climber Cattaneo etc!!
I can't believe he's only 3.0 credits....this guy has top 10 GC's in grand tours to his name....has worn grand tour leaders jersey's and yes....won the Criterium De Dauphine in 2010...and can time trial.
Am I missing something obvious....an impending ban or anything?
A total lack of racing and form. Just look at Frank Schleck.
I did.....and picked him!!
Guessing that's the deadline passed then.....
Scores after TDU

That's pretty cool! Now, can people keeep joining? Just choose someone who's 3.0 right now? Or is that it? Just the people who are already in? How about 'switching', if you spot someone who's 3.0 later in the season, hmmm?
Aw, man! What a great pick!
Persoanlly that should be it for people joining "unless" they pick someone on zero points and no switching halfway through.
I have no problem with new joiners BUT they should be forced to pick someone who has scored no points and is worth 3 credits as at the start of the season.
I think it's easier to close it to be honest.....deadlines were given plenty of times
Shall we agree to let Ghedebrav make the final decision as it was his idea ?
Im sure I read somewhere he had said the end of TDU?
I did say end of TDU originally, so let's stick with that. I'll modify the OP now. Definitely no changing once you've picked, sorry enrique.
Apologies, brain a bit addled between work and baby night feeds at the moment. But yes, now closed.
Sergent(chiv30),Kolar(turboprannet),Rasch(livestrongnick),Hepburn(stumps) seem to be the runners and riders for the tour of Qatar.....I'd expect Sergent to go well in the flat short desert TT.
C.Kern(neilG83),Zoidl(drheaton),Ignatyev(giff77) and Rybakov(plynie) are provisionally down for the TourMed.
None of the 3pt'ers scored in TOQ stage 1
same for stage 2!!
Hepburn to win stage 3 ITT - now that would be special
Hepburn(stumps) and Sergent(chiv30) sitting 1st and 3rd in the TOQ ITT.....for now

Very impressive ITT win for young Hepburn....anytime you can take down Lars Boom and Spartacus is cause for chapeau!!
2 more for Hepburn thanks to his points competition standing.

By my reckoning, the following are on current startlists...
Med...
Rybakov (plynie)
Kern (neilG)
Zoidl (drh)
Oman...
Brajkovic (JAndrewHill)
Hepburn (stumps)
Frank Schleck (Ray)
Sergent (chiv)
Algarve...
Lecuisinier (me)
Thats only from a fairly quick scan, so I might have missed someone, and it will change anyway...
The first double race day of the season saw the grand total of NIL points for our 3 point posse
ummmmm
whys Domont on the list twice for enrique? 
My mistake....forgot to delete Domont and his previous score of 21 as he went to 28pts (and then subsequently 32 pts)
8 for Sergent(chiv30) and 10 for Kolar(turboprannet) in the final stage of the TOQ....nothing to write home about in the Med yet!!
Hepburn(stumps) 39

Well 8 points is better than nothing although I was hoping for more , c'est la vie
Looks like he's pencilled in for Oman,The Ronde and Paris Roubaix though.....maybe he'll pick up teammate bonuses when Schleckster wins all three LOL
Hepburn is in for the Oman tour, lets hope he picks up a few more points.
