    The race should be open soon and runs tomorrow so there's not much time to pick your teams.

    It's a proper classic with plenty of short sharp climbs and, by the sounds of it, some crap 'cobbles' too.

    Three time winner (and reigning champ) Marriane Vos isn't riding but a lot of the other big names in the women's peloton are racing and it should be a good race and with British interest in the shape of Lizzie Armitstead (who finished 7th last year), Lucy Martin and Emma Grant there's plenty to cheer for even if you don't know any of the other riders.

    You can’t make Coquard jokes? I find that hard to swallow. But I won’t stay tight-lipped on Minge.

    Teams picked – 5 the same in both, and then some random guesswork. I know who the top riders are, but I don’t know so much about their favoured terrain etc. Thats what its about though, should learn by the end of the season…

    Sanderville – if I’m not allowed to make Coquard jokes, then you’ll have to try a bit harder with Minge as well. Be good if they got married tho.

    If you’re struggling to pick
    If you’re struggling to pick a team then my top tips would be:

    1 – look at last years result – http://www.procyclingstats.com/race/Ronde_van_Drenthe_2013

    2 – take a look at the results from the most recent races like Molecaten Drentse 8 –
    http://www.procyclingstats.com/race/Drentse_8_2014

    3 – pick Emma Johansson, she’s a beast.

    Job done.

    She’s not on Hitecs lineup for this race.

    …and to answer your question on the other thread, she’s Norwegian and currently the youngest rider for the team.

    Pricing worked well I thought, makes you think a little bit 🙂 There’s also some sh** hot classics riders in the mid price range which might be overlooked!

    I’ve picked mine based on last years results plus those showing good form so far this season.

    Nice one GKam, well organised…. roll on the race! 🙂

    Teams picked, main team is stacked with four of the bigger favourites and a couple of form riders, purist is aimed more at having a bit of quality throughout. Will see which one does best.

    Nice job with the pricing Gkam, it’s tight but I think you can just about get a decent team. I also can’t see anyone jumping out at me who’s stupidly priced which is great although if you’ve underpriced someone and would like to let me know it’d be appreciated 👿

    A budget of 140 might have been nice but overall I think it should force people to pick and choose between big names and create some difference in team selections.
