Pick 5 and onwards) Oh shit, was he available?!
Oh yeah! That's exactly what I was thinking last year. This year won't be much different. |

I think the reaction to mine is going to be along the lines of: "why's he picked him?" oh and "he's picked him to?"

A few sprinters who would really have expected to already have 2019 contracts will no doubt now be sat nervously next to the phone! For those teams willing to look further afield than their own back yard, there are still some interesting riders available across pretty much all terrains. I'm sure those with an interest in Amateur teams will be be keeping an eagle-eye out to see if any riders slip through the CT draft that should really be in the professional ranks!
Of course there are also a few 'meme' riders out there with half-decent skills and fantastic back-stories in terms of MG history/results for some of the older dudes, or just great names that put a smile on everyones face - surely some will not have been able to resist!

Half an hour to go until the advertised start of the draft. Hopefully the crowds will start to gather soon!

Quite a swanky hotel this is they have booked for this 2nd annual CT draft announcement. We should all meet for a beer in the hotel bar pre-announcements, right!

I'm here, hoping some of my Alumni get picked up, especially Luca as it would be nice to have as many SMR riders on teams as possible.

34 riders are about to have their season saved. Overlooked in transfers? No bother, the draft has come to the rescue. Let's begin... |

Coming into the draft only one team knew for certain one rider they were getting, as Tryg Insurance Cycling Team had drawn first pick up. Away we go with the draft then, and the first pick is Norwegian youngster Torjus Sleen. His career starts now. |

Leave some talents for the amateur teams to develop

Are the lists final at this point or are we not allowed to mention still undrafted riders?
A Big Thank You To All MG Reporters! |

What do you mean we aren't supposed to sign a leader for each terrain and then fill the rest of the squad with talents, how else are you supposed to do this? |
