For 5 points bonus, the rider only has to start the race? doesn’t have to finish 😉

Schleck is still in there,
Schleck is still in there, swapped bikes, Gilbert is still in there as well, never been out the back, just sat in the middle of the pack up a couple of climbs

Nordhaug and Hesjedal making a break for home with 7km left

Katusha closing it again like they have been all day – J-Rod would be a good result for me, I just hope its not for Moreno as i couldn’t afford him :”(

My money is (in my team) on Gilbert, but Harmon and Backstedt say its his to lose, so that means he’ll lose, commentators curse as normal X(

The reason i kicked Henao,
The reason i kicked Henao, Uran is there and will be Sky’s man, but then again, he’s crashed today, so could backfire, but i doubt it.

Dave, there is no KoM points? even though FW has a KoM. You could have had more points 👿

[Gkam84]

I made 2 changes, one
I made 2 changes, one inforced through a grey’d out rider and one tactical (leaving me 6 for LBL)

Philippe Gilbert (BMC)
Joaquin Rodriguez (KAT)
Bauke Mollema (RAB)
Dries Devenyns (OPQ) (Henao out)
Gorka Izagirre (EUS)
Michel Kreder (GRM)
Xavier Florencio (KAT)
Bert-Jan Lindeman (VCD) (Tom Dumoulin out grey’d)
Benoit Vaugrenard (FDJ)

I guess you don’t know, you
I guess you don’t know, you could only pick one nationality per event anyway, pointless picking more because nation’s are limited to one rider per event because of all the MTB and BMX thats now come in X(

Are you a journalist 😉 You seem to like quoting people, they editing their quotes :B

I see your point. I have nothing against planning, actually. I have something against last minute withdrawals and having to wait till the last minute to enter your team. I guess the Reset Button makes sense to me mostly because of withdrawals.

So where is the difference?

Waiting till the last minute to put your team in or make changes, against picking your team and then at the last minute hitting reset because some of the riders have withdrawn. 😕

If someone wanted to do Olympic track compo on the side I’d be up for that but to make it really interesting I’d suggest that across the ten different events (five male, five female), you had to pick ten different countries (ie individuals or teams, depending on the event). No budget, no cost of riders, just see whose ten picks do best.

I am up for that big time, if there is one form of cycling i know everything and anything about, its track cycling 😀

Like TER says, it will make it an easy way out, instead of having to plan a few days of transfers to get your team on an even keel again.

People come and go in ever game, for every few that say they are done, one might leave, but then again another few my stubble across the game and stay.

I think if the game gets to easy, more people will decide not to play and not bother with time and effort of picking a team and working out transfers. If you have a reset, its just an easy way out.

I’m with option 2 myself, i have my staple gun and post it notepad ready 😉

The “reset” and other factors
The “reset” and other factors were discussed last year and will likely come up again and again. It’s not needed at all if you look ahead

So for picking your Amstel team, look at the FW and LBL in advance to get a rough idea of who might and might not be riding, it only takes minutes

Just to reiterate what i KEEP saying, Don’t water the game down and make it to easy. So that includes NO reset button

[Gkam84]

Anything thats high enough
Anything thats high enough calibre to involve the top teams and doesn’t over lap (this year) Over lapping might not be so bad next year with some of the other ideas floated about letting some of us run the races

But if you looking to add a few more here and there this year, stick with world tour events that don’t over lap 😉
