Proper Purist Classics Comp

    A few people have commented on how they miss having to pick a proper purist team for the classics now that we've moved over to fully unlimited transfers between each race (which simplifies things a huge amount and hopefully will cause much less confusion than in previous years).

    In light of this I'm setting up a 'proper purist' forum comp for the spring classics between the opening Omloop/KBK weekend and Paris-Roubaix (I'll set up a separate one for the Ardennes later).

    The Rules – pick nine riders for 150 credits or less based on opening values this weekend.  Usual rules apply so no more than two riders per team (no picking all of OPQS then).

    The Points – Normal fantasy points will be scored by any and all active riders in each race included in the road.cc game, that's:

    Omloop Het Nieuwsblad – Sat Mar 01 2014
    Kuurne-Brussel-Kuurne – Sun Mar 02 2014 
    Strade Bianche – Sat Mar 08 2014 
    Roma Maxima – Sun Mar 09 2014
    Milan – San Remo – Sun Mar 23 2014
    E3 Harelbeke – Fri Mar 28 2014
    Gent – Wevelgem – Sun Mar 30 2014
    Ronde Van Vlaanderen – Sun Apr 06 2014
    Paris – Roubaix – Sun Apr 13 2014

    This means that points will directly corralate with the main game.  If your rider doesn't start a race then you get no points.  There are no transfers, no swaps, no substitutions and no injury replacements.  Your nine riders are your nine riders and that's it.

    The Prize – Eternal Glory (ie nothing).

    Entries required on/before 9am Saturday 1st March 2014.  Please try and keep your entries into one post with any amendments in that post (so no quoting other peoples team please).

    EDIT:  I've just remembered that I'm out of the country the day that Paris-Roubaix runs so I'll also need a volunteer to put together the final scores, I'll sort everything out up to that point so someone will just need to come in and take all the glory.

    Likewise, if someone wants to volunteer to carry the comp over into the Ardennes classics but with new teams picked (but points carried over) then that'd be great too.

    Entries close at 9am
    Entries close at 9am tomorrow, same time as the window for Omloop so get your teams in quick.

    Unfortunately I left the spreadsheet I set up on my PC at work so the first score update will be after both Omloop and KBK on Monday.

    Pretty solid of you. Thanks! Thought there might be a place that listed all that info that didn’t require you to go to all those pages, I guess not! But, thanks!

    I guess I’ll keep Pozzato!

    Here’s my team:

    Tom Boonen 18.4
    Fabian Cancellara 25.2
    Thor Hushovd 23.7
    Filippo Pozzato 17.2
    Matti Breschel 15.3
    Bernhard Eisel 14.8
    Bjorn Leukemans 15.7
    Johan Van Summeren 9.7
    Nick Nuyens 3.0

    Total 143.0

    I swapped Gilbert out. Thanks for waiting! 🙂

    I just did a web search and
    I just did a web search and found the startlists for each of the races, and then totted up which teams were riding which races. (Yes I was a bit bored at work…) It doesn’t mean that much, as just because Sky (for example) are riding all 9, it doesn’t mean that any individual rider will be in them all.

    Lampre are down to ride 7/9 if that helps.

    In fact the World Tour teams are all riding at least 7 except Saxo (6) and Orica (5).

    Looks pretty good to me – Leukemans was especially tempting although his team are only riding 6 of the 9 races. Having said that – you have ten riders instead of nine so the maths doesn’t add up… ;)

    Ok, I’ll fix it. How do you know that Leukeman’s team is only riding 6 races? Where can find that out? I also have Pozzato and the same might be true of him… I have to change Gilbert, too, since I just read he’s only going to do the Ardennes… Decisions, Decisions… Please tell me where to find out that team info, please, and I’ll make a change. Thanks!

    Monica, can you take a look
    Monica, can you take a look at your team, you have 10 riders.

    Up to 17 teams now, the more entries the better 🙂

    Perhaps not a big surprise but the first four names on most peoples teams are Peter Sagan, Fabian Cancellara, Greg Van Avermaet and Tom Boonen.
