What happens with no GC riders in our teams? Do we all just race with and get points for 8 riders?

Thanks Dave. Yes I have 9 riders in team. No problem not getting a score for the GC rider if everyone is in the same boat.

Is there any possibility to reset changes? What happens in case of this kind of change? I choose Freire instead of Farrar, today I read that Freire will not participate, so I'd like to choose Farrar again. Is it possible when I've made other 5 changes?

So for transfers do I get 6 this week then another 4 for the week after. So for example I could transfer most of my team out and then four back for Flanders?

Also Is there going to be a cost increase in riders between GMAT wellegrem and Flanders?

Can everyone else see the full list of riders for transfers? I can't see any riders in the transfer list at all, even if I select Everyone. This is on different PCs using both IE and Chrome.

Or are they just not on there yet?

Gee Thomas has got his spot now.

for anyone who's interested in keeping tabs on their squad over the course of a couple of races (ie picking riders that are in for upcoming races too) i can recommend the excellent www.cyclingstartlists.com

sometimes you'll get fore warning of upcoming squads, sometimes you won't... deffo worth a look though

Whomever is doing the purists league is either very lazy or very confident!

If I hadn't used my transfers I would have had two rather dubious domestiques riding for me today... Now I have Tom 'Party Boy' Boonen at my disposal-how can I lose?!  3

How do the team bonus points work? Should all the riders in Quickstep get the 5 point bonus after Gent-Wevelgem?

I thought Dries Devenyns and Davide Malacarne finished and I don't think they've got the points... although I'm happy to be proved wrong!

Terpstra is still noted as riding RVV, but I'm sure he won't start with his newly broken clavicle.

I like the new stats window that appears when you hover the mouse over a rider. Good idea!

Should make it quicker and easier to choose transfers.

yes but don't forget that you need to select nine riders to score points in a stage. for G-W that means picking a non-participating GC rider. them's the breaks...

1) yes. six this week, then four a classic for the rest of the classics.

2) rider values get recalculated when we update the scores, based on how they scored and their popularity. so they might go up, or they might go down...  1

I feel your pain, but I think I've got you beat.  14 I foolishly invested 37.8 of my credits in Boasson Hagen yesterday when he was lit up as a "go" for G-W. This forced another transfer because I already had two other Team Sky riders (in different categories) and had to transfer one of them out to have a legal squad. Mere hours later, Boasson Hagen changes to a "no go" for G-W and I have 37.8 of my credits tied up in a now greyed-out rider and no transfers left to fix it.  13

fair comment, looks like QST made a couple of last-minute changes to their starting line-up, we were going with the original start list.

so good news if you had malacarne or devenyns. bad news if you had pineau or van kierlsbruck. bad news for me, then  2

No, we decided to up the transfers to 6 for this stage as there were a *lot* of roster changes. back to 4 for the next few...
