Ah, see, now I had you down as not being a fan of Cav's given some of your past comments about him (when the game/team selection hasn't been part of the discussion). So it's a bit like the boy who cried 'wolf,' you see...
I'm neither for or against him, i just don't like his attitude sometimes, which isn't very endearing
I often put false teams up with random picks in it to try and spark some of those who do not post to get involved and i also put up my "transfers" which were obvious points scoring guys out and no-body's in to see what people would say, it has grabbed a few people in and have started posting more, but i wonder how busy this forum will be outwith the pro cycling season?
Hey GKAM, have you considered Rasmussen for the ITT?
He's got some good results in ITTs recently.
Tuarts - i think you need to take some happy pills mate, this is a forum for everyone to express their views, whether they are right or wrong is immaterial.
As usual all the TTers are all-rounders so despite the likes of Taylor Phinney and Dave Zabriskie being likely to finish top 20 I can't see them being massively popular just down to who else is in the that category. Hopefully next year with some added flexibility in how you set up your team we can have a bit more freedom on who we choose.
I think everyone is going to struggle to pick someone likely to finish in the top 20 from the PC and KM list, I can't find anyone that I'm overly confident of and to be honest most of them probably won't even compete.
Dave, if there are no/few sprinters/climbers competing in the TT and we pick someone like Dekkers or Hinault who are cheap but not racing will our team still be valid? I know having greyed out riders is fine mid-tour but usually you need a valid team going into the first stage. How does that apply for classics and the worlds?
you just have to have nine riders selected. doesn't matter if they're greyed out.
Shhhhh!
Damn, you've given the game away now. I was just having a bit of fun, and yes, the profile is massively exaggerated making it look hilly whilst being pretty much flat. Cav's going to be in my team as are most of the in form sprinters. I won't be picking any climbers.
Cav better take some KWELLS before he throws his leg over, looking at that coarse profile
GE fly through looks impressive
PS - I think Gkam84's a very naughty boy
He's my main man, going to thrash Fabian and Martin, don't give away inside secrets tho
I thought all limits were removed - but I'm getting a red warning message because I have three riders from one team.
Should I ignore it - usually the best policy with red warning signs, isn't it ?
What i really should have done was cropped the course profile to remove the metres and distance and made out it was the full course and put in some fictional distance's and heights
If you left off the height & distance it would look a decent challenge for Danny MacAskill
Unless Dekkers is riding the TT then you cant have him in, it will leave you with the 9 valid riders to start the TT because its like the start of any new race, you must have 9 riders who are on the start list
Does anyone reading road.cc still watch and enjoy real bike races for what they are - incredible examples of athleticism and great entertainment. Or do you simply view them as necessary components of a game?
It would be a great shame if that were true.
Ok, so i made up a mock team
Bradley WIGGINS
Mark CAVENDISH
David MILLAR
Jonathan BELLIS
Christopher FROOME
Daniel LLOYD
So if that for instance was the British team and Cav won a sprint finish, does that mean i've already made 45 points without anyone else finishing in the top 20?
20 for Cav's win and 5 for the rest cause they are British, or only 20 for the win because non of the rest are from HTC??
My understanding is that you would get 45 points as each Brit would get 5pts but you would not be allowed to have EBH as another rider as that would take you to three Team Sky riders.
you could do this but overall you wouldnt do that well in the road race with those riders, not on this course.
You'd get your 20 points for Cav and 5 for each of the others, so 60 points or so, but I would doubt any of them would come in the top 20 really, bar Cav.
Better to go for people finishing in the top 20, perhaps augmented by a couple of brits, maybe GT for example.
Ditto, I'm struggling to try and find a potential top 20 TT rider in either the PC or KM categories. As usual they're all in the ARs although some of the better TT all-rounders might be saving themselves for the road race. Also trying to work out which 4 of the 10 or so half decent TTing DSs will have a good run.
ive sort of got a team i think, my prob is who if any out of the sprinters and climbers category will be in the TT
Sohrabi has 10 wins this season.
Cavendish has 14 wins. by the way, I think.
excluding team time trials, jerseys and classements.
Does anybody understand any of the above?
I don't
To clarify though, here's where we are: we don't know who's riding yet, and when we do we'll whittle down the starters. for now everyone's down as riding.
You can have a reasonable guess about who will be there and get picking, if you like, but start lists won't be out til around next weekend.
The riders that are available just now are the ones who races the GP Montreal and not the world championship riders, i'm sure they will get updated nearer the time when a list becomes available
Ok, my team is all greyed out right now. So, I have questions!
Does that mean that none of the riders I had for the Vuelta are on the currently available riders list? Are the riders that are available right now only the ones that will do the WC Elite ITT? Wil the list then change for the raod race? That's a lot of work! Wow! 
Will someone post here when the game rider list is complete? Until then, unlimited transfers? Thanks! 
I might have been
Although a few might need to be added anyway like Jack Bauer and Borbridge who I don't think are in the list as it stands.
Bobridge (check your spelling) is there... I can't see Bauer.
This would be a good time to raise the limit of riders from one team to 3 or 4
Also, when I've been looking at previous top 10s for the TT there are some riders in there who aren't in the current full rider lists. I assume that once the final teams are announced they'll be added in?
EDIT: Scratch that, the guys retired.
Were you after Koos Moerenhout by any chance?
