how about a test of your classic team management skills? for ego, no points involved. Though Dave can test / explain the scoring for 1 day races.
Same rules as usual, 150 points, 4 stars, 5 ds etc.
If I get organised I will do the same for Kuurne-Bruxelles-Kuurne tomorrow (and because it is practise only 6 transfers between races)
So who is in?
here is my team for Omloop Het Volk/Nieuwsblad
Star riders: pick any 4 GC PC KM AR
Philippe Gilbert (BMC)
AR Value: 40.0 Form: 1.6
Lars Boom (RAB)

I was going on 6 as thats what Nickobec said at the start of this thread
Agreed. Lets go with 6 . . . that was what i was working on. . . and i amn happy for everyone to follow my sqyad to the letter.
Ok cool, 6 it is, i'll be making another change later![26](https://cdn.road.cc/sites/all/modules/contrib/smiley/packs/smilies/26.gif)
6 is fine, but unlimited would have been better.

unfortunately it seems they all failed to finish...
at the moment as i only know the top 6, its a tie between Gkam and JAndrewHill with with 95 points
Did i win with my Mr Men, excluding one Mr Sneeze who i understand was unwell![20](https://cdn.road.cc/sites/all/modules/contrib/smiley/packs/smilies/20.gif)
Well all the teams have 2nd and 3rd, a couple of teams have extra 5 points for garmin riders an nigsbrown 10 points for 2 garmin riders. Will add up the rets of the points once i know the bunch results
Boom big crash
Nice flying fall by a Rabo rider.
a few threads down from this one Ter

where is tomorrow's team being posted, and 6 transfers correct?
Also no-one has any of the breakaway riders so need to worry about those points. Would you like me to do the points at the end of the race today, i will be free to do that?
