    All limits are abolished. You can pick whoever you like, within budget. It’s a World Champs beanfeast. Make hay!

    I thought all limits were removed – but I’m getting a red warning message because I have three riders from one team.

    Should I ignore it – usually the best policy with red warning signs, isn’t it ?

    Do these country’s even have enough to fill them out?

    So for the people who had a go, Eritrea only have 4 riders registered and Iran have 3 so i guess they couldn’t fill their quota :D

    Your point being? Do you think there are no riders to take their place or that fiscal reasons take priority?

    Are you ridiculing USA as well since they aren’t taking a 9th rider, for reasons only known to them. Eritrea will still race with their full quota and guess what, Sohrabi is riding for Iran, with 2 helpers. Guess that’s all they can spare? Why do you have to be so judgemental? Not the only nationals teams either, Russia and Venezuela are starting 5/6 and then there’s a bunch of no shows from Bulgaria, Costa Rica, Cuba, Ecuador, Uruguay.

    There are many reasons why these nations can’t field a team but not having any riders to race would be one of the last.

    If you left off the height & distance it would look a decent challenge for Danny MacAskill

    What i really should have done was cropped the course profile to remove the metres and distance and made out it was the full course and put in some fictional distance’s and heights

    I’m neither for or against him, i just don’t like his attitude sometimes, which isn’t very endearing

    I often put false teams up with random picks in it to try and spark some of those who do not post to get involved and i also put up my “transfers” which were obvious points scoring guys out and no-body’s in to see what people would say, it has grabbed a few people in and have started posting more, but i wonder how busy this forum will be outwith the pro cycling season?

    Ah, see, now I had you down as not being a fan of Cav’s given some of your past comments about him (when the game/team selection hasn’t been part of the discussion). So it’s a bit like the boy who cried ‘wolf,’ you see… 😉

    Eh? Not a Cav-style course? Those bumps on the profile are about 25-30 metres each, if that.

    If, instead of a one lap profile (with a VERY exaggerated vertical scale), that were presented as the full 17 laps, it would look flat as a pancake. Which is pretty much what it is.

    And anyone who thinks Cav can’t cope with anything but a flat course in the first place needs to look at his recent results ;)

    Shhhhh!

    Damn, you’ve given the game away now. I was just having a bit of fun, and yes, the profile is massively exaggerated making it look hilly whilst being pretty much flat. Cav’s going to be in my team as are most of the in form sprinters. I won’t be picking any climbers.
