De Brabantse Pijl - La Fleche Brabanconne Forum Fantasy Game

Is it too late to add De Brabantse Pijl as a stand alone bonus competition?  1

I'm proposing a very simple Forum Fantasy Game.

The rules are:

1. Choose any 5 riders from the race start list. You can go to the PCS start list (http://www.procyclingstats.com/race/De_Brabantse_Pijl_-_La_Fleche_Braban...) or the CN.com start list (http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/de-brabantse-pijl-la-fleche-brabanconne...) or the official race start list ( sad)

 

2. The top 25 riders will get scored. The winner will receive 25 points and so on until rider No. 25 gets 1 point. If your rider happens to get in on the 'break of the day' they will get 5 points. Any rider mentioned in PCS's 'Attackers of the day' will qualify.

 

3. Registrations will close at race start...

If you're new please join in and if you have questions pop them below and the forum regulars will answer as best we can.

1wrangler 93
Aragonite 91
archieboy 86
TERatcliffe26 81

 yes I thought archieboy had to  clarify his last rider so he could race with a full 5 rider team, but, he did, I just counted them. Oops!  1 Chalk it up to cultural illiteracy!  1

Ok, here's the official twitter handle for the race:

@DeBrabantsePijl

Registration will last until the race starts tomorrow.

CyclingFans.com is saying the race starts at 12:30pm CET (6:30am U.S. Eastern) and should finish around 5:36pm CET (11:36am U.S. Eastern), so make your choices accordingly.

We've got 6 teams in so far.

I tip my cap to you, enrique.  Gracias por tu forma de pensar.  I happen to know a complete nerd who obsessively computes all possible outcomes of races on multiple spreadsheets so I am going to use his picks for a change to see if soulless calculation beats my own inspired choices.

Caballero, no sabe cuanto me encanta que me hablen en espanol. Muchas gracias por escribir en mi lengua. Se lo agradezco. Ah, si supieras!  1 Esta vez no use los 'multiple spreadsheets' para calcular nada. Simplemente me gustan esos corredores mucho! Me da pena que no escogas un equipo original!  2 Anda, por complacerme, cambia por lo menos uno de tus corredores, por favor! Que aburrido que escogas los mismos que yo, ya sea por vagancia o por insistir en tu punto. Me alegraria mucho que partcipiras por participar, porque te gusta!  1 Que te parece, haces un cambio para que ambos nos divertamos, especialmente yo, corrigiendo y sumando totales de equipos verdaderos, que no sean iguales entre si? Un (!) solo corredor que no sea igual es lo que te pido!  1 What do you say?  1 Dame tus 'inspired choices'!  1 Hazlo divertido, Sandy! Que dices, amigo?  1

Here's my team, just in case we don't get a compeititon open! Of course, it's deliberately  stacked team!  1 With the obvious joy of getting to pick first!, which is probably highly unethical and immoral, but?  Who ever wins by picking the favorites?...  All in fun!  1
