Hmmm... Another Forum Competition? Well, the start lists are full now for Milano-Torino (http://www.procyclingstats.com/race/Milano_Torino_2014-Startlist). So some of you may want a warmup race before Lombardia... Who can resist? I can't... So.. if you want to play, here it is! Another Forum Competition!
Milano-Torino is on tomorrow Wednesday Oct 1.
Here are the rules for Milano-Torino:
1. We will use the rider values below for the Competition. I will provide any other values if you want to add a rider not on the start list below but that may have been added to the PCS start list.
2. The budget is set at 195 credits.
3. Your budget must come in at least at 155 credits.
4. We will do the scoring as if this was a stage race, with the scoring going from 35 points down to 1 point. No jerseys will be scored, of course. Breakaways will be scored at 5 points if you are in the leading or 'main' breakaway of the day.
5. Bonus Points:
A separate Top 20 riders will be scored for riders in the following teams:
Area Zero Pro Team
MG Kvis - Wilier
Nankang - Fondriest
Team Idea
Vega - Hotsand
The Top 20 riders in these teams will receive another set of scores from 35 down to 1 point. If any rider on any of these teams cracks the Race Top 20, they will get points on both accounts.
The deadline will be at race start, 0945 BST. Is that right? Well, at any rate, the race starts at 1045 CEST local time.
If it's run this year, we may play the Giro del Piemonte. I can't find it anywhere right now, but if it's run, you'll have 4 transfers for that race, so choose wisely. It honestly looks like it won't be run, but if you hear anything definitive, please let me know.
You'll be able to do a complete reboot of your team for Paris Tours later. I'll add other rules and transfer info if other races are added, like the Giro de'll Emillia, for example.
Please put the value of your rider in front of the rider and the total of your budget so we can all check that the correct values are being used.
Have fun! ::)

Well, I was going to post a Japan Cup Forum Compeititon, but I think I left it a little too late...
No Paris-Tours? Was looking forward to it.
Oooh!... I dozed off!... I'll try and get one more going soon...
Thank you.
All my normal riders finished top 20, but not having Caruso has cost me, but also decided to go for the wrong Team Idea rider, had I gone with my original choice of Tedeschi I would have won, instead went for the DNF
That was pretty impressive...
