The Early Classsics
As Far as I can tell the system is as follows?
For standard:
Omloop-4 transfers-KuurneBruxelles-Unlimited transfers-Samyn-6 transfers-Bianchi
For Purist:
Omloop+KBK-Unlimited transfers-Samyn+Bianchi
Startlists:
Make your own checks as it sounds as if those racing in just one of the races may be listed for both i.e Cavendish is in the provisonal OPQS line up for Kuurne but not for the Omloop but will be listed in the riders list for both.
Just a scoring question:
Will the scoring for Purist take all 4 races as a whole OR split it into the 2 sections as divided by permitted transfers?

TBF I think that's before she saw the light and got on her bike. Not so great if her views have been informed by Mr. Briggs though.

Many Belgians will try and fail....at the end of the day the Norwegian flag will be raised aloft.....with an Aussie standing in the background thinking...What if...
But hey...what do I know.....Good luck people...this one is a tough call....
WTF with the 0600 deadline ?

Expecting more from Omloop than Kuurne for my purists to be honest.
Stumps....Howard's only riding K-B-K I think?
Well we only have 2 different riders, Ive got Paolini and Cousin for Stannard and Vanmarcke as I decided to saave some credits for a big Sprinter tomorrow.
Cant see a Vanmarcke repeat if im honest
EBH followed by Haussler, that will do me
Don't know the answer, I'm afraid, but there was an email last night warning of the 6am deadline.
Ah bollocks, thats what you get for picking teams after nightshift
Now that's confidence if I ever heard it!
1 spot left for tomorrow's race. Hushovd - Pozzato or Haussler? which one makes the cut?
B.T.
I can tell you one of those is on my team
I have all three! Hoping for big things from Thor today...
One OPQS rider for me and is isn't Boonen.
Same for me too
Tricky Niki?
Thats mine
Mine too!
Id better chan ge mine then...it seems everyones going for nt. Lets try davide insted.
Blythe's pulled out of Omloop
Wise move. I think KBK is more suited to him.
With only 11hrs to go before the window closes do i pick Boonen ?
He's not on form at the mo following his op but do i discount him at my peril
OK, I updated the startlist as silly o'clock this morning, I now think I have EVERYONE in there, If you see anymore missing riders, please give me a shout. I'm not prefect and may have missed someone out
