Koch is a nice pickup, hope he can continue to show that same attacking spirit this year.

That was a weird couple of hours watching LLS make those crazy signings last year
24/02/21 - kandesbunzler said “I don't drink famous people."
15/08/22 - SotD said "Your [jandal's] humour is overrated"
11/06/24 - knockout said "Winning is fine I guess. Truth be told this felt completely unimportant."

Tom Thill is a handy enough Luxembourg all rounder, and he is now the second rider to have been drafted for the second time. Adastra - Hell Energy Cycling made him their 2nd choice pick, and get him. |

The first two drafted riders were Level 1. The 21 since were not, but now let's have another youngster. Dylan Sunderland signs for BNZ. |

I was young and at least I actually survived that season

Sunderland, yay! Was on my stagiaire list and glad he got picked up here, especially by a regional team. Dissapointed to not see BNZ grab Aussie Champ Simon Clarke though

Dylan Sunderland, now that's a talent worth drafting

Thill is a nice pickup, depth on hills and a nice addition to a TTT squad.
And nice to see Sunderland starting his development, especially as he was picked up by a home side.

After picking up a 77 Hill rider in Round 1, GCN ProTeam now pick up a 76 Hill rider in the Cameroon National Champion Geremie Nzeke.

DK Zalgiris meanwhile switched from a sprinter to climber, making Johan Le Bon their 2nd draft rider. |

Nzeke and Thill this late are fantastic picks!
A Big Thank You To All MG Reporters!

Very happy to see Koch convinced a team after the season at Vattenfall!

How did Nzeke go this late? Good hill, good DH, decent MO and FI stats.
I can definitely see him being a good domestique.

Dylan gets a chance, not just Scott's nephew!
Spoiler I've spent some time at races with Dylan, and disagree with his stat line - deserving of more flat and cobbles (bit of a beast to be honest), but as stated also handy stage race type if we are trying to mirror real-life results to-date.

Le Bon looks a good CT rider, another one I am a little surprised to see still on the board in the second round.

Kraftwerk bid farewell to Michael Kurth after his first stats decline but for this stage of the draft 74 Cobbles is a good option - and a few teams did have him on the shortlist. Equinor Pro Cycling sign him up. |

Nzeke probably a surprise not to get a full contract. Even more surprising to go this late in the draft, fortunate for GCN though. Thill and Le Bon also solid picks.
We want more more one-stats that we can make fun of guys, come on!

I like this pickup, good cobble rider who could place decent in his group for some extra points, he won't set the world alight but he could definitely cause a surprise on his day.
