Alright, with the 11th pick of the inaugural 21 and Done Draft, I select
Spoiler Jasper Philipsen
A man of the classics with a fast sprint, touted to one day combine these abilities like no Belgian since (or before) Tom Boonen has done.

Great choice Aquarius, was debating him as well (would've meant cheering against Kämna though..). Surely the currently most dominating rider in his discipline left available at this point.

Two really good picks, had both on my radar.
There's actually one rider I'm surprised no one chose yet. I know this season wasn't particularly famous for him, so that might be the key factor, since other young riders showed up on a better level overtaking him in terms of notoriety. But he can be a good gamble, and I'd be surprised if he wouldn't be picked in the first round. |

Absolutely, great decision. Expected both earlier, Philipsen was even a Top5 guy in my thoughts (beneath Lambrecht, Sosa, Bernal and Evenepoel). Bjerg a very safe bet on the way to becoming a star!
Well you might have the chance to pick him later Freitas

Awesome pick! I really thought he's over 21 as I couldn't find him, will be very interesting to see how he goes at Caja Rural

AbhishekLFC is on the clock for the next 21 hours. Ollfahrd can pick his picks as soon as he is ready for it. The second pick of Ollfahrd (#17) can be skipped and retaken later if he didn't pick his first until then. |

Kanter maybe the brightest star on the sprinters horizon in this draft, in line with Philipsen, great choice! Eenkhorn also the most talented Dutch climber, so 2 very cool picks.
It's hillis91 on the clock again

If Kanter can get anywhere close to Ackermann's development, he's surely a very good pick.
That was said about Gesink once too, so who knows if that's even a good sign

McNulty is another shocker for me, picked this late. Still no sight of the rider I mentioned previously though. |

Well, thanks Aquarius for taking care of my tough decision between McNulty and my eventual pick now, it gave me headaches already
McNulty is an absolute steal on this draft position imo, so I hope my pick will turn out to be just fine too.
With the 20th pick in the inaugural "21 and Done" draft, I select
Spoiler Thymen Arensman
Has anyone before ever finished on the podium in both Paris-Roubaix Espoirs and Tour de l'Avenir in the same year? Well, Arensman has done just that, and he's a mere 53 days older than a certain Mr. Evenepoel!

Some people might not know this guy, but he has been a consistent performer for a few years now. Fits perfectly with my "theme"

Spoiler Dušan Rajović

When i picked Bjerg, the choice was between him and McNulty. I'm also surprised that i was able to pick him in my second round, but anyway there isn't much riders that imo, he could have been picked before. Or that's the impression i get looking at the list of already drafted riders
