National Championships game
Yet another extra game!
This week is national championships week with most of the major countries having their national champs over the weekend.
The idea is, pick the winner of five major European road race championships, specifically the winners of the British, French, Spanish, Italin and Belgian national road race championships. Simple.
Nominate your five guys (one per race) below. Scoring will be based on an omnium stlye points system. 1 point for the win, 2 for second, 3 for 3rd etc down to 10 points for 10th and below (if someone doesn't finish then they'll also get 10 points).
Person with the lowest points total wins.
An example team would be:
GB: Cavendish
FR: Bouhanni
ESP: Sanchez
ITA: Nibali
BEL: Boonen
You can find some info on all the champs here: http://www.podiumcafe.com/2013/6/18/4442290/welcome-to-nationals-week
Deadline for entires is 9am (BST) Saturday 22nd June.
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.

Radar tells me their closing speed, if they are slowing and how far away. Then I decide to say a prayer. The change of light pattern is incidental.

No, that's very doubtful while proper testing would be fully destructive.

Just realised I never said but the game is for the road races for each country and not the TT.
First post amended accordingly.
My Team
Barker
Bouhanni
Pablo Lastras García
Santaromita
Meersman
What I would like to see is all the jerseys go to OPQS, just because I like what they did to Boonen's
Fenn
Pineau
Verona
Brambilla
Maes
Kwiatkowski (Polish)
Martin (German)
Stybar (Czech)
Velits (Slovakia)

Roelandts
Not exactly going out on a limb here
Cavendish
Chavanel
Valverde
EDIT: Nibali for the absent Visconti
Gilbert
Duly noted, mind you i couldn't even get the right nationality for Spain
Swift
Gallopin
Visconti
Meersman
Moreno
EDIT: just heard Visconti isn't riding so will add Nibali instead.
Cav
Demare
Sanchez
Nibali
Gilbert
Edited: Cav for Swift, as I didn't think Cav would be riding, but he is
Sorry, this might not have been clear but I'm restricting it to just the five championships above, Britain, Spain, France, Italy and Belgium to keep the game manageable and because in theory there are plenty of options to pick in each.
EDIT: Updated the first post to make it a little clearer.
GB: Ben Swift
Spain: Faria Da Costa
Italy: Nibali
Belgium: Meersman
Norway: Eddy Bos
Isn't he Portuguese?
EDIT: oh, yeah... sorry!
