Spring Classics 2015 - NonDispute

So now that the Spring Classics has been opened, I thought maybe we should start a new thread dedicated to the race as opposed to arguing about how many transfers blah blah blah!  102

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.

Bugger so filled my team with riders who aren't riding, but should be.
And clicked confirm, thinking that I could go back and fiddle with it before the race.
But forgot that it just used up 7 of my transfers for Spring Classics! Bah!!
I even swapped out two 3.0 riders!!!!  40

Looks like my team is set! lol

Me to ! Had to use another 5 transfers to transfer out the riders i'd transferred in.................................  102

Glad im not the only one forgetting theme transfer limit...  44

If my Spring Classics form is anything to go by, 5 of the above will fall off  17

My team too with the exception of Terpstra for Stybar so I am also hoping they don't fall off.

Worried about not having the Kristoff or Degenkolb options for today.

Degenkolb has fallen off, along with Fabu and some others.

What is insurance for Quintana?  13

It was dawning on me all day that I had the Terpsta Stybar thing wrong.

He's there, in the team. I even added him to the startlist, BUT, I also cannot find him  102

Hi Gkam, Belletti is not coming up I'm afraid, would you mind double-checking it for me? I've even tried spelling it wrong just in case, and I've searched for all riders, sorted by team, and scanned the whole of the Southeast team and he's definitely not coming up for me.

Belletti is in there, I put him into the list

Tony, those issues you mention, no you weren't seeing things, That was my mistake/glitch.

When I was updating the womens classics, for some reason, it jumped to the mens without me noticing, so that is why the budget and transfers changed on both and then got rectified

When will the Kuurne startlist be uploaded? I quite fancied picking Belletti as an outsider if he's cheap, but no sign of him, even when I "show all riders"...

Not sure that'll be any consolation to Lefevre. Boonen looked done by the end, will be surprised if he is up there tmw.

Yes you can! Why attack with Boonen, the best sprinter? Why chase down Terpstra with Vandenbergh? Why lead out the sprint. Stannard must have thought it was Christmas.

Fantastic to see him retain his title.

1, 3, 5, 6, 9, 11 for me.

Stybar didn't bother to sprint, despite getting a ride for 30 km, and if Boonen is cooked, who will support Cav tomorrow?
