    Your right, i’ve had a bloody headache for ages now trying to fit 6 into 4. I know the 2 i drop will come in the top 10 :”(

    the main reason we changed it for the ToB was because it was a small field with very few stars; neither of those are true of the world champs

    I hope so, seeing as I’ve already made my changes…

    Every other unlimited window (such as the ones mid-classic season) have been fine for Purist transfers but it seemed odd having a purist league for two races with an unlimited transfer window in between.

    I would hope the answer is yes. That’s how the Olympics and the GP Montreal/Quebec races worked. In the real world, the TT and the road race are treated as separate, independent one-day races with no cumulative scoring, so purists *should* be able to make transfers in between.

    I’d like a shot at trying this format out in a different setting, where there are (!) lots of Star Riders. Could we try this for the World Championhsip Road Race? :)

    Im guessing thats something that could be in the pipeline for next year maybe.

    The only reason the ToB was done that way ,was there was literally 6 star riders, whereas in the Road race there is still a pretty even split between DS’s and Stars

    I was going to ask the same question, I assume that we can as it’s an unlimited transfer window between the two races but the fact that there’s a ‘purist World Champs’ league confused me.

    The problem with that is its not cut out the riders who are not going to be there. So for GB, its listing 14 riders…..

    Where can we find the FINAL startlist for the TT? 😕
