The Early Classsics

As Far as I can tell the system is as follows?

For standard:
Omloop-4 transfers-KuurneBruxelles-Unlimited transfers-Samyn-6 transfers-Bianchi

For Purist:
Omloop+KBK-Unlimited transfers-Samyn+Bianchi

Startlists:
Make your own checks as it sounds as if those racing in just one of the races may be listed for both i.e Cavendish is in the provisonal OPQS line up for Kuurne but not for the Omloop but will be listed in the riders list for both.

Just a scoring question:
Will the scoring for Purist take all 4 races as a whole OR split it into the 2 sections as divided by permitted transfers?

If you're new please join in and if you have questions pop them below and the forum regulars will answer as best we can.

Many Belgians will try and fail....at the end of the day the Norwegian flag will be raised aloft.....with an Aussie standing in the background thinking...What if...

But hey...what do I know.....Good luck people...this one is a tough call....  1

WTF with the 0600 deadline ?

I've just gone on to pick my team and found it closed.

Why is this different to a normal stage where the window is open until it begins ?

Don't know the answer, I'm afraid, but there was an email last night warning of the 6am deadline.

OK, I updated the startlist as silly o'clock this morning, I now think I have EVERYONE in there, If you see anymore missing riders, please give me a shout. I'm not prefect and may have missed someone out  39
