Sorry  Also I apologize for missing the rounds initally, Sunday didn't go as planned.
Both PCT riders should be dark horses for some Top 10s, especially with their strong sprints.
Keukeleire was on my shortlist for Round 4 already, so I'm glad he was still available now. And Gaudu is one tiny step away from being able to win in the Ardennes, so I hope he made that step in the offseason.

Most people got their first picks these rounds, just waiting for Bikex to confirm something but for the first time I actually got everything in time, well done guys 
Bikex with really good picks in Senechal and Nibali, he wins this round for me.
Three more rounds of free picks coming up starting with Bikex, let's have them in by midnight sunday!
R14: Free pick
R15: Free pick
R16: Free pick

And with that the draft is complete!

I'm going to give this round to Roturn, Costa and Konrad are great Ardennes picks, and if Nizzolo can return to his old form he'll be scoring good as well.
If anyone wants to have some fun, participations are still open and you only need 8 riders to compete.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Next up is the team selection for the opening weekend:
 Omloop Het Nieuwblad (WT)
Kuurne – Brussel – Kuurne (CT+)
 Drome Classic (CT)
Le Samyn (CT)
Only 1 WT race here with Omloop, so the question is if people will go all in for that one or take a gamble with a good result in the lesser races?
Please post your selection of 8 riders here before the start of Omloop. If you miss the deadline, I will just take your first 8 riders.

With the best cobblers long gone, and the pure sprinters too risky for my liking (Coquard's injury, Bennett and Nizzolo usually not riding many of the races) and me only having 5 puncheurs yet, I decided to go for a mix of experience and youth with these picks, and actually got my first 3 choices.
Formolo is obviously always a good bet for LBL, and I hope Cosnefroy and Madouas have their true breakthrough season (the former already won two races).
Dan McLay may turn out to be a very good pick if he doesn't have to ride for Bouhanni too often, he's scheduled to ride basically all flat races below WT level.
Thank you for organizing this draft Ollfardh! Let's find out who handled it best.

Thanks! For myself, Pedersen is a bit of a risk but with the current weather in Belgium we could have a great season. Landa and Vanendert were added to have 8 Ardennes guys.
Already breaking my head over the opening weekend, 10 riders who could score well for 8 places with minimal startlist for Drome & Samyn.

Just so we're clear on this, make as many changes (but please, not too many) as you want before the deadline, I will only look at the last posted list.

The Sledgehammers:
Sep Vanmarcke
Mads Pedersen
Sonny Colbrelli
Mathieu van der Poel
Edward Theuns
Michael Valgren
Julian Alaphilippe
Tim Merlier
Decided to take one puncheur from Drome Classic over Hofstetter who rides two races. Alaphilippe better win it now.

Bit of a risk to take the three French riders just for the low-points Drôme, but they could all Top 5 that.
They just edge out Dege and Debusschere who ride only KBK, and Steimle who only rides Samyn but could surprise there if it's a hard race again.
My strategy is that I would be quite happy if the two Germans prove me wrong here.

Late change but as Van Baarle is ill, Sütterlin can replace him.
And also Mollema instead of Matthews. |
