Spring Classics 2015 - NonDispute
So now that the Spring Classics has been opened, I thought maybe we should start a new thread dedicated to the race as opposed to arguing about how many transfers blah blah blah! 
If you're new please join in and if you have questions pop them below and the forum regulars will answer as best we can.

No breakaway points today?
Was there a breakaway of under 10 riders with 1 minute of a gap at half way?
Sorry, I couldn't find any information on that.
If you can list the riders and a source, I'll happily make the changes
This is taken from the cyclingnews commentary
The gap to the leaders is under five minutes now, with 95km to go. The break are still working together with Brammeier back on the front once more for a lengthy turn.
(so thats just after half way)
and these are the riders
we have eight riders leading the race with a gap of over five minutes on the peloton. On the attack: Alexis Gougeard (AG2R), Matt Brammeier (MTN), Christophe Laborie (Bretagne-Séché Environnement), Michael Reihs (Cult Energy), Kevin Van Melsen (Wanty), Louis Verhelst (Cofidis), Jaroslaw Marycz (CCC Sprandi Polkowice), Sean De Bie (Lotto Soudal) and Albert Timmer (Team Giant-Alpecin).

Running the re-update now with breakaway points
Has anyone seen Hutarovich in the list of riders ?????
Hutarovich 21.6 credits. Tick "show all riders" box.
Why is it always the spring classics that cause a problem every year ?
Mainly because we lump all the races into one competition, means that we have to load half of the mens teams we have, totalling into the thousands of riders.
Instead of just a normal tour, where you have about 150 riders to sort out
Cause it's such a big competition i imagine. With changes to game always gonna have issues.
Ce la vie
4 changes for me today. Out go GVA, Terps, Sep and Stannard. In come Cav, Van Asbroeck, Viviani and Bouhanni.
Any ideas when the rosters for Milan - Sanemo will be updated?
Bugger so filled my team with riders who aren't riding, but should be.
And clicked confirm, thinking that I could go back and fiddle with it before the race.
But forgot that it just used up 7 of my transfers for Spring Classics! Bah!!
I even swapped out two 3.0 riders!!!!
Looks like my team is set! lol
Former winner of the race for less than 8 points? I can dig that.
Running smooth as silk as usual, maybe some more off season BETA testing.
Ok made a last minute change, dropped Kristoff for Sep
+1 on Sep. GvA back in. Degenkolb stays for this weekend but I'll take him out for De Ronde.
Team for today. 6 changes. 35 left for 8 races which is 5 per set of changes.

FABIAN CANCELLARA (TFR)
SEP VANMARCKE (TLJ)

Big crash at Haaghoek, involved were Cancellara, Boom, Langeveld, Degenkolb and many others.. #e3H
Langeveld, Bonifazio and Wagner off to hospital. Cancellara has hurt his wrist but is back in the peloton with Degenkolb and Boom
Fabu has abandoned
Boom out too I gather
So what happens if your team is now over-budget when it was previously within budget? I can imagine quite a lot of people will now have invalid team selections.
gonna do them this afternoon
Me to ! Had to use another 5 transfers to transfer out the riders i'd transferred in.................................
Me too! along with 4 big guns and 3 fillers, and I should need any changes for the next race
My team too with the exception of Terpstra for Stybar so I am also hoping they don't fall off.
Worried about not having the Kristoff or Degenkolb options for today.
