Ever heard of Tarbiz Ever heard of Tarbiz Petrochemical CT? Mehdi Sohrabi who has more wins than Cavendish this year? Bit insulting questioning whether they can fill out a team. Same applies for Eritrea, one of the strongest national teams on the Africa Tour.
Not quite – since Luxembourg Not quite – since Luxembourg are in top 10 of World Tour, they are guaranteed 6 places in the road race, even though they only have the 2 riders with ranking points. GB ended up with 3 last year because we were outside top 10 :B
List of how many riders qualified per country here:
Well, you’re only allowed to Well, you’re only allowed to enter as many people in each race as the number of your nationals who have gained World Tour ranking points – so Luxembourg can enter two people if only Frandy have points.
Don’t the countries have to Don’t the countries have to enter a 14-man squad, and select their riders for each event from there? So they’ll probably have to enter some sprinters but none of them will do particularly well…
Edit: 14 is a ballpark figure, I can’t remember how many it actually is.
i also think categories i also think categories should be scrapped (especially for the TT) and we should be able to pick two riders from each nationality
Still to be put up, but i Still to be put up, but i think there might be a switch from teams to nation’s before the start and if that happens you’ll only be able to pick two from each nation, but not a clue, Dave’s keeping his cards close to his chest with this one
