Can we do this every time?

Criterium - ??
TDF - 3 brits
Vuelta - almost certainly 3 colombians

Or should it be kept as native riders??

I think the Good Doctor will have his hands full with the Grand Tours(native riders)?

The format works best with grand tours and I think native riders gives more variety.

Three Brits at the tour would basically be half the teams with Cav, half with Froome then people scrambling around for cheap riders, unless there are no Brits under 5 credits in which case it becomes even less varied.

The other thing is that with the format being what it is and abandons scoring zero the three week long races add a level of unpredictability to it and as in the Giro, being well out in front after week one doesn't mean you'll win.

I'm happy to let people run other races but I'll only be doing the grand tours with native riders.

Not that I want to run it 4 but what about pick three 3.0 riders for the Dauphine? Here's mine, just in case! 1

To add to Mauro Santambrogio.....positive test during Giro and now suspended....Go Vini Fantini(that could be the death knell for that team following DiLuca!!)

I can't believe garzelli let me down so much. All his buddies in Vini were on Edgar, surely he could have scored a few more points.... #letdown...
