I assume we need to send lists for all three rounds by tonight, not just for the first?

Yes please, round by round would take too long.

Thank you. Question #2: does the serpentine system switch the pick order every single round, or just after the batch of three rounds as a whole?
While I'm 4th pick regardless, it does matter whether roturn gets to pick his home rider before me or not.

It's round per round, so for R2 it's Bikex who's first to draft. But as you say, you'll always be 4th (unless we get a late signup I'll have to squeeze in).

I'm going to give Freitas just a little more time, as I hate to see anyone miss the first round.

Sorry Freitas but I can't wait any longer or my planning's messed up. Just send in 3 riders for the first rounds and I'll give them to you before the next draft. So to the others, be aware that there will be 3 more riders drafted.
Here are the first three rounds:
| Ollfardh Sledgehammers | Jaxika Warriors | Abhishek's Reds | Cio93 Unpatriots | Freitas’s Goats | Roturn Lemmings | Bikex Bald Beagles | | R1 | Mathieu van der Poel | Wout van Aert | Oliver Naesen | Nils Politt | | Tiesj Benoot | Maximilian Schachmann | | R2 | Julian Alaphillipe | Greg Van Avermaet | Alejandro Valverde | Philippe Gilbert | | Zdeněk Štybar | Peter Sagan | | R3 | Sep Vanmarcke | Tim Wellens | Mike Teunissen | John Degenkolb | | Emanuel Buchmann | Matteo Trentin |
Mathieu was the unanimous first pick, I did expect a lot of votes for him, but not 100%, so kinda glad I came away with him. Everyone else got their 2nd pick, except Cio who got his 3rd.
For round 2 most people went for Sagan (and a few optimists who thought van der Poel would still be there). Bikex got his first pick obviously, but also the Reds got their top pick, and in the end Jaxika and myself both got very good 2nd picks. And since no one listed him, Alaphillipe has a Cyclocross Juniors Silver medal  .
The last round of the first session saw very little competition due to the different nationalities. Belgian top picks were gone already though, so I had to settle for Vanmarcke and Jaxika for Wellens. Everone else got a pick from their top 3.

Next 3 round due thursday morning:
R4: A rider with a GT Stage win
R5: A rider born 01/01/1997 or later
R6: A rider from a country bordering your home nation
With the next 4 in spoiler.
Spoiler R7: A rider from a PCT team
R8: A rider who was in a PCT team last year
R9: Free pick
R10: Free pick

Bikex messing up my all-German plan! 
I correctly guessed the top 3, Naesen surely the safer pick over Politt but I just had to.
As for R2, being right in the middle of the draft hurt me on first sight with no outright favorite drafted in either round now(depending on Phil's age), but who knows how it'll play out. I would've taken Valverde from Abhi if I had any sympathy for Piti. Alaphilippe surely the steal here, and GvA with the TTT medal? Hadn't even thought of that.
Dege the obvious third best German for this game, although surely with a question mark to his name as well. At least I got all Lotto tactics covered now!

Not ideal tbh to get Buchmann in a game focussing on classics mainly.
But Politt was gone already, so doesn`t matter a lot I guess as I don`t expect a lot from others this year. 
Benoot is a nice pick being good on cobbles and hills, which might work out nice while Stybar is a rider I wanted to have seeing Quickstep has so many options that everyone basically can win a race or two depending on tactics and he started well into the season and similar to Benoot also can perform decent in both kind of classics.
Obviously missing out on the clear big names Sagan, Alaphilippe, Van Aert/MvdP.
Love the late pick of Trentin for Bikex. Could be a huge player if the team change works well for him. |

I got Valverde, my season can stop here
Nice to get Naesen and Teunissen, both showed a lot of promise last year.

I hope so. It was between him and Bettiol for the Italian choice.
The first rounds already make Ollfardh's team the one to beat with the two most successful spring classics riders of last season. Smart choice with Alaphilippe, we others didn't do our research properly. But I really can't complain about Sagan, I'm hoping he will have a better season than last year.
Didn't put too much thought into my first round picks, as I was sure the top available riders would be already gone when it was my turn. I guess Schachmann is a good choice for the ardennes, maybe Stybar would have been the better option though. Was also thinking about Evenepoel, who will now probably also end up with Ollfardh. |

Yeah, was a bit surprised so few people went for the less obvious choices. Most people thought of youth and cyclocross (but forgot Alaphilippe ), but stuff like track also had some interesting choices no one came up with.
Hoping Freitas will send in his draft soon so I can give an update.

I think we may have lost Freitas, so if anyone wants his spot, let me know asap!
For the others, still a few PM's missing for tomorrow's deadline.

Just Cio now and we can start the next draft round, though a last minute signup is still possible as well.

Dammit, I knew I forgot something last night...
May I ask for a slight extension? My list is at home, and I am not.
