Opening weekend
| BLOCK 1 | Opening weekend | | | 28/02/2026 | Omloop Het Nieuwsblad | WT2 | | 28/02/2026 | Faun-Ardèche Classic | CT1 | | 1/03/2026 | Kuurne - Brussel - Kuurne | CT+ | | 1/03/2026 | La Drôme Classic | CT1 |
A few teams still need to finish their draft, but for the rest of us the game can really start now! Block 1 is the same good block we've had for a few years now, while the rest of the calendar keeps changing. Two races in Belgium, where the cobblers start their classics campaign. Two races in France, where the puncheurs usualy show themselves a first time. Last year we had the unforgetable moment where one of the managers (who will remain nameless) didn't select the winner for Omloop.
I will need your list of 8 riders in this thread by saturday morning 10u00 CET. This is a hard deadline, if you miss it by even a minute I will just take your top 8 draft picks. Feel free to make changes before the deadline, but do this in a new post, no editing please. Use the format LASTNAME Firstname (like the draft, list of all riders in this format is in the top posts on the first page). They need to be posted in this topic, no by pm.
Procyclingstats is probably the best place for startlists, but as we noticed in the past, it can be very difficult for some races. Looking good so far though!
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Definitely possible that I make a change at somepoint, as I struggle to leave Lampaert off. Just think that Naesen and Oliveira might find a better solo result and have better teammates - wow I didn't think it would be this hard early.

Assuming domestiques like Senechal and Kielich could be worth more than a 'leader' like Valter. Let's see if he proves me wrong.
