I'm not really a sprint team, but I thought I'd give it a go. Should have a decent leadout in Mezgec.

I love Guillen as a draft pick. Ofc he is a risk but he has upside and as long as he doesnt block any other sprinter its a strong move!
Im hoping to see my boys Timmy Dupont and Airidas Videika picked

Gorka Izaguirre was top pick for DK Žalgiris, and also the top available pick for Oberfranken. They miss out, despite being 3rd in the draft list - instead getting former PT rider Van Wyk. |

Gorka 2nd as one of the strongest stage racers left also not a surprise to get drafted quite early. Not sure of what his new team looks like in full but real solid support for a stage race leader. If his role is to lead himself, then his Acc would give me some concern.
All these guys are gonna have some flaws though, otherwise why are they still unemployed!

Van Wyck. Woop, woop. Won a CT cobbled classic a couple of seasons back, right?

Interesting to see van wyk picked up. He was in very close contention for my 20th roster apot but his value should be lower for a ct team due to not being able to max him. Love it though

I dont see where it makes a difference between this and a 50k filler? Id use the draft pick like i would use any 50k roster spot and go for best value. That could be a young talent since ct teams can develop lvl 1 riders well but it could also be a TTT addition if you have a drop after the sixth or 7th rider, an additional leadout rider, versatile domestique or a good puncheur. maybe a cobbler but the quality for cobblers left doesnt seem to be terrific but perhaps a guy like Meersman would provide nice value.

Sauber's first pick Tom Veelers is a rider with a lot of history. Winner of a stage of the 2009 Tour de France; plus two classics in 2012, when he finished 79th in the PCT standings.
He finished 17th in Ronde van Vlaanderen last year, but was released by Gazelle after a second stats decrease. His combination of cobbles and sprint could still be valuable in CT. |
