Yup, its going to be good. Voting closes on Sunday by the way - 6 votes so far and 1 country looks like it is a certainty through with 5 of the 6 voting for it amongst their 4 so far.

With no votes in 6 days, the voting is closed. 11 people voted.
With an impressive 10 out of 11 votes (Balaverde being the odd one out), Britain is the winner of the vote.
2 nations were tied on 7 votes. As expected, Denmark made it through, but surprisingly: so did New Zealand! Rider wise New Zealand were one of the weaker options.
The final spot goes to South Africa, who took 6 votes.
The rest:
Ukraine 3
Malaysia 3
Austria 2
Czech Republic 2
Portugal 2
Argentina 2
Cuba 0
Chile 0

Id like opinions on how to do the TT selections.
The options I currently can think of:
Everyone votes for the teams they want in.
Basing it on the riders' TT stats.
Base it on who will be riding the actual Olympics TT.
Base it on the system used for the real life Olympics.
A mix: The best 10/15 TTers automatically get in, while there is a vote for the other countries.

I like that option. Gets the good ones in and leaves options for some of the lesser riders.

If there is any justice in the world, Pedro Nicácio from Brazil should ride too.
