R4 saw the same names return a few times. Jaxika payed most attention here with Kwiat winning a Vuelta TTT. With my 5th pick I ended up with Pogacar, which probably annoyed a few people for the next round.
In R5 again most people selecting the same guys. Cio was really close to not having enough names on his list, but Higuita saved him. I actually had to look up Bikex' pick.
For R6 it seems Roturn forgot there was a border with Denmark and left Fuglsang for Cio. Abhishek thought Terpstra was Belgian(?), so that was the first invalid pick of the game.

Next round due at midnight this sunday.
R7: A rider from a PCT team
R8: A rider who was in a PCT team last year
R9: Free pick
R10: Free pick
Also, I said 15 draft rounds at the start, but if everyone is ok with it I'll make it 16, otherwise the people early in the draft list will have an extra advantage round.

Quite happy with in especially Matthews and Mollema as they should perform well here and there.
Actually I had Fuglsang on my mind lots of times for several rounds already and always deleted him again. Simply don`t like him and did not want to have him in my team.
Bernal is not the best pick in a classic game I suppose but anyway. |

Well I doubt I was in actual danger in round 5.
The only viable GT stage winner born in 1997 or later was Pogacar, so I just needed four more eligible riders for that round.
Obviously the other three got picked before it was my turn, quite a predictable round.
Compared to the first draft, I'm very happy with these rounds. Stuyven is a dark horse for basically every cobbled race (and, crucially, is the only big gun to be scheduled for Le Samyn atm), Higuita is having a great season start and might surprise big time in the Ardennes if he gets to ride for himself, and Birdsong is a great team captain for those races and Strade Bianche that really shouldn't have fallen to round 6.
I was close to taking him off my list entirely like roturn, but I don't dislike him just quite enough.

Obviously not as good as my first round, I didn't expect to go down to Pogacar in R4 already. After that I had Philipsen over Evenepoel as the former will probably ride more races and doesn't have Alaphilippe as leader. For R6 I really wanted a sprinter and picked Démare over Groenewegen because he knows how to grab a car and Dylan will just get dropped.
I think jaxika has the most dangerous team at the moment, all riders that can score on multiple terrains.

Very surprised to see Fuglsang only picked in round 6. I was close to picking him over Kristoff already in R4. As the last one to pick in the U23 round there obviously wouldn’t be much left anymore but I think Dainese is a decent enough choice. With Küng I now have two of the medals winners of last years WC. Let’s see if I can also get the world champ. |

Solid picks in Lampaert, Hirschi and Ackermann. Hope that they can match or improve on last year.

Sorry Cio but I'll be busy the next few days so I'll have to draft. Just send in your picks and I'll add them in.

R12: A rider from the country with most riders after R10 (your pick in case of a tie)
R13: Free pick
Last round afterwards:
Spoiler R14: Free pick
R15: Free pick
R16: Free pick

Really like that Bettiol pick and also Woods is nice to have even though Higuita is EF`s top guy I guess this season.
Van Poppel and Jans not sure about but could score in smaller races.
Jaxika continues to shine with 3/4 riders there. Only Martin not sure about for the classics. |

I wanted some sprinters for the flat classics but maybe I've overdone it

R12: A rider from the country with most riders after R10 (your pick in case of a tie)
Can you explain this? The most riders in ALL of the picks or from my picks? |

Correct!
I also seem to have made a mistake in R10, correction done, Lutsenko to the Reds, Colbrelli to the Sledgehammers. Van Asbroeck is a free agent again.
