Forum competition: pick a 3.0 rider...

Just a thought for an off-the-cuff contest for us forum types - each 'adopt' a rider currently rated 3.0, and track them through the season. Whichever rider has the highest aggregate fantasy points at the end of the final race of the season wins (or rather, the person who picked them does).

The deadline for picking has now passed, so here are your riders:

Ghedebrav: Matej Mohoric
ray sylvester: Fronk Schleck
drheaton: Riccardo Zoidl
NeilG83: Cristophe Kern
DylanChurchill: Caleb Ewan
stumps: Michael Hepburn
Dave Atkinson: Julian Alaphillipe
livestrongnick: Gabriel Rasch
enrique: Axel Domont
JAndrewHill: Janez Brajkovic
chiv30: Jesse Sergent
TERatcliffe26: Johan Esteban Chaves Rubio
giff77: Mikhail Ignatyev
plynie: Alexander Rybakov
Gizmo: Rick Zabel
Twybados: Lasse Norman Hansen

I did say end of TDU originally, so let's stick with that. I'll modify the OP now. Definitely no changing once you've picked, sorry enrique.

Apologies, brain a bit addled between work and baby night feeds at the moment. But yes, now closed.

Sergent(chiv30),Kolar(turboprannet),Rasch(livestrongnick),Hepburn(stumps) seem to be the runners and riders for the tour of Qatar.....I'd expect Sergent to go well in the flat short desert TT.

C.Kern(neilG83),Zoidl(drheaton),Ignatyev(giff77) and Rybakov(plynie) are provisionally down for the TourMed.

By my reckoning, the following are on current startlists...

Med...
Rybakov (plynie)
Kern (neilG)
Zoidl (drh)

Oman...
Brajkovic (JAndrewHill)
Hepburn (stumps)
Frank Schleck (Ray)
Sergent (chiv)

Algarve...
Lecuisinier (me)

Thats only from a fairly quick scan, so I might have missed someone, and it will change anyway...

OK, to clear things up a bit. My brain obviously wasn't in gear - when I said 'score' in OP, I actually meant 'value'. The idea being that you'd have to strike while the iron was hot . So, if, after a few good races, your riders value rose to 12.5 and you thought their value would be likely to drop later, you'd post the value here while they were at that price. But if, say, you got ahead of yourself and posted your limit of three times and later in the season their value improved even further, you'd have to go with the highest value (presumably the third) you'd posted.

 35

However, that's probably a bit complicated. Total fantasy score at the end of the season is perhaps the way to go, nice and simple.

 4

especially as rider value will fluctuate due to type of terrain in each race!!

I can't believe he's only 3.0 credits....this guy has top 10 GC's in grand tours to his name....has worn grand tour leaders jersey's and yes....won the Criterium De Dauphine in 2010...and can time trial.

Am I missing something obvious....an impending ban or anything?

That's pretty cool! Now, can people keeep joining? Just choose someone who's 3.0 right now? Or is that it? Just the people who are already in? How about 'switching', if you spot someone who's 3.0 later in the season, hmmm?  39

A total lack of racing and form. Just look at Frank Schleck.

What about running it the way the metric century thread is run. Simply edit your choice and nobody reply or quote each other? Or have I got the wrong end of the stick??

Not sure if limiting it to three scores is the best way to make it a season long event?

Why not just any fantasy points that they score in the season?

Avatar

So to clear this up a bit

It's only fantasy points earnt this year?

We have to post a max of 3 stage or end of race scores for our respective picks?
