Sure, but you will have to send me a link to the jersey. Whether it is fantasy or the real one.  |

It's impossible to pick only 3 riders if you don't know how high or low you should aim. If you don't want to give the draft order, let us pick 10 names or something?
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Fine, it will work like this:
Once we have 21 people signed up and with a jersey. I will then do the draft draw for positions 1-21 for round 1 and post it in this thread. If you wish to send me your riders lists before or after the list has been published in this thread then that is up to you. |

Really balanced riders, I must say.
Of all of them, I can only see Nieve being a guarentee for a few wins, no others, sprints, hills & cobbles being really open! GC as well.

I'll join provisionally... based upon the fact that you release the draft order first... I understand, sort of, the idea... a bit... not really...
Big improvement in the number of potential winners on the surface. Dig into the overall make up and it might have gone too far the other way. So many equally skilled riders is going to make some odd AI choices in teams, depending on final picks. Also think there is too much range of skill in the lower pots. Those with the lower picks in Pots 8 and 9 are really going to lose out, but so are those who pick strongly but miss out because they don't know the order.
Also can you post whether the stages are flat of hill rated. On several of them (11, 12, 7 come to mind) i can't tell. Equally i can only see 2 mountains stages, so some odd balancing issues when compared to the number of selectable climbers.
So yeah, if you release the draft order i'm in.

The ManxMissile - It doesn't work like that..... I will release the draft order once we have 21 guys signed up and with a jersey...... You can't sign up after the draft order has taken place!?!
Stage 7 is a hilly time trial - which is already mentioned in that post.
Stage 11 is a flat one - which is already mentioned in that post, although there is a small sharp hill towards the finish.
Stage 12 is, of course, a hilly stage

Now i'm confused by some earlier comments...
You are going to give us the draft order before we'll be choosing riders, right?
I was going to, but no.

The draft order will be released after we have 21 people signed up.
That means, if you sign up, you can wait until the draft order is released before PM'ing me your draft picks.... OR.... You can send me your draft picks before the draft order is released, it is up to you. |
