There is no startlist to work from yet…

Does that mean you have time to fix the names if you’re not going to be working on the Amstel start list? 😀

*Sigh!* I thought of you as I was looking back at last year’s Ardennes competition. I was under the impression that last year we were updating the start lists with much more flexibility and doing a couple of updates a few days before the race. I don’t know. It may be my imagination, but I think you’re being very *strict* and *unreasonable* with this there’s ‘no official start list’ thing… Again, I don’t think this was such an issue last year, at least I don’t remember it that way… I have no idea what was used last year but I feel like your insistence not to trust PCS, or cyclingfever, for that matter, seems a little ‘stiff’ for the modern era… I know you have to have seen them, but here are the start lists for cyclingfever (http://www.cyclingfever.com/editie.html?detp=view&_ap=startlijst&editie_idd=MjUyMzE=) and PCS(http://www.procyclingstats.com/race/Amstel_Gold_Race_2014-Startlist) … Both lists have 238 riders in them… PCS shows 5 confirmed rosters…

It can’t be that (!) difficult to activate those riders, or is it? 😕 Hell, if you want, I’ll track how many changes they make from here to race time to confirm there aren’t , say, more than 10 changes to the start lists between now and race time… 90% accuracy on a first run would be pretty good in my book!

So, I’d guess you’d have to ‘activate’ the 238 riders on the start list, and that would take, what? 238 mouse clicks? You can do it! I believe in you! 🙂 Look, if you have to do more than 15 changes, I’ll buy you a beer, ok? 🙂

Anyways, I loved it when I saw the pride in this:

I just wish you wouldn’t be so stubborn about not uploading anything but the official start list 🙁 I don’t remember having this issue at all (!) last year, and I have the impresion you’re the only one who refuses to put anything up but the ‘official start list’. Of course, I may be wrong… but it’d be nice to have the start list updated, please? 🙁 How difficult is it? Is it a pain?

This is what’s crazy. Last year, you said:

So please, I appeal to that beautiful, organized head of yours, please reconsider, please? :/

When does the game rider
When does the game rider roster switch over to the riders for Amstel Gold?
