With Cancellara out (I'm sure we all wish him a speedy recovery) who is going to challenge OPQ and Boonen?

I'm keeping Boonen and Pozzato and maybe Sagan if he rides, but the 4th eludes me. Thoughts anyone? Doesn't have to be the real rider you're going to pick if you don't want to give too much away .

Anyone up for KBC Driedaagse van De Panne - Koksijde on the side?

3 day race consisting of lumpy 200km+ classic stage, flatter 200km+ classic stage, short flat 110km stage & 15km ITT.

Offical website with start list (PDF) and parcours.

You should recognize most the names including Sagan, Griepel, Chavenel

Will have to be purist as
1 I am lazy
2 Stage 3a (110km flat stage) & 3b (15km ITT) on Thursday

Some of us, pride ourselves on the knowledge (or not) of which DS from a small pro continental team is going to perform well each race/stage.

Well how about showing how popular your picks were with other players.

Simple scoring system, once the transfer window is closed, go to pick a team. select "all riders" order "popularity", if one of your riders (the are highlighted to make it easy) is in the 1st 12 spots you score 0, for each rider in the 13-25th spot 1 point per rider, for each rider on the 2nd page (25th to 50th) 2 points, 3rd page 3 points, 4th page 4 points etc.
