Oh no! Missed the cut-off before being able to monkey around with my team!

Oh well. Standard, I went for:

Sagan
GVA
Chava
Veilluex
Coquard
Mezgec
Nordhaug
Parisien
Duchesne

Think I've managed three Quebecois in there, though! Wish I could find teh time to see these races; on my honeymoon last year we went to Montreal & Quebec and had a fabulous time. Montreal a great cycling city.

Yeah, I've still got the best part of 5 hours to go before I have to finalise mine  4

I'll be doing a last sweep up of roster changes at lunch time, I don't think there have been any changes in the last day but I'll check anyway.

Also, scores will probably be going up in the morning and there are four transfers available between races so plan accordingly!

Do purists have to keep the same team between the two races?

There's also the fact that Cannondale and Team Canada have both been given the same abbreviation(and jerseys)....however it does allow you to pick 2 from each team.

I've sorted that out, CAN for Cannondale (as they're in more races) and CND for Canada. Shouldn't be required too often.

Unless the Campaign For Nuclear Disarmament take over the sponsorship at Vacansoleil LOL.....stranger things have happened/are happening(Fernando Alonso or even the Blanco debacle!!)

Yeah, a couple of the dates on the competitions page are a bit squiffy - eg it says Beijing starts and finishes on the 16th, and it says the "Autumn Classics" start on 2nd Oct, but I can't find any races on that day. What races constitute Autumn classics out of interest? Just Lombardia and Paris-Tours now? (I know they cancelled Piemonte - did they cancel Milano-Torino as well?)
