Team Zebin here, 1st season for me, might make changes before the weekend...
Pending.
Let's hope I notice injured riders this year. Ballsed 2 rounds up last year.
whos injured?
Ben Reid did me no favours last time..
Managers also need to check whether their chosen riders are actually going to all the rounds.
How to do that, I'm not sure - but I thought I'd say anyway.
IIRC you get two transfers per round, which should be much better than last year.
Im in 8) That site is a nightmare!
Any chance of letting Redwood Rednecks in so I can prop up the bottom of the table....
Cheers,
Alex

Live qualification timing here -
http://static.sportresult.com/federations/uci/CM/
Ladies start at 12:30 and men are 13:00 UK time.
Nice way to while away a Friday afternoon...
team boing boing signed up! 😀
just snuck into the league in time hopefully, 12.30 cut off I think.
Well, a good qualifying for me. Looking forward to seeing the updated points table in the Fantasy League.
Hope it's not too late - Dr Rad's busted spoke - pending...
Any one know who Ruaridh Cunningham is riding for this year? I thought he was riding with the Maxxis Rocky Mountain team but it would appear that has been dis-banded for this year.
Sputnik Gravity Squad
Minnaar
Hill
Hannah
Pedemanaud
Griffiths
League has been updated- sitting pretty 🙂
Comfortable mid-table obscurity 8)
Re transfers:
"Team managers can make a maximum of two rider changes between rounds and up to 10 changes in total."
Joint 3rd and two of my riders are no show's 🙂
Stoked with second, room for improvement though.
I think I'm 8th. Is the weather still looking iffy for race day?
ThinkTurquoise awaiting approval - managed to join before the first round this time! All my riders got points today as well!
I'm in, Team Dobber:
Brosnan
Fairclough
Blenkinsop
Bond
Carpenter
Reckon my choices will come good on the gnarlier rounds!
That looks like a strong line-up for Val di Sole willej.
Two weeks until transfer deadline time folks. It's much better now we have two transfers per round, but I could still do with three to get my team just right.
Don't forget, Leaguers, it's Round 2 at Val di Sol this weekend.
Troy Brosnan is out for this round.
Sad news, really wanted to see how he did at Val di Sole this year - he was flying there last time.
Dunno whether to make my changes now or hold off and see if anyone else breaks themselves before Friday.
Yeah, I have Troy and Gee in my team, so I think a swapsies for both. I know Gee is back on the bike, but after his little tumble at Leogang it's got to be at the back of his mind on a run I'd have thought.
Gee tumble here -
I've dropped Gee and Jared Graves for Danny Hart and Sick Mick.
Was tempted by Stevie Smith though.
I've just swapped Gee and Troy for Greg and Steve Smith. Maybe I should have gone for Danny over Greg? Too late now though...that's my 2 swaps for this round.
I need to choose someone for 150k (giving Cunningham the boot) toss up between Hannah and Graves at the minute both Aussies both Handy...
I might give Duncan Riffle the boot too, but who to replace him with for 100k?
Smith
Gracia
Graves
Brendog
Fionn G backing up the ladies.
I did so pish at PMB, i'm sticking with my "I like them" philosophy.
Typical I brought Troy in and now he's injured and I've no transfers left. Doh!
Greg might not go as fast as Danny at Val di Sole but he's more likely to end up on the podium Rickos, I've got both in my team atm.
Booted Gee in favour of Danny and kept Greg, he's just so consistent. Can podium on any course and qualifies well.
Aye, that was my thinking on Greg. Steve Smith should go well here too.
Just looked at the STW mini-League and whoever is leading (Ivor Hugh Jardon) has the same team as me. So, hopefully I'll be rising up the ranks from 9th!
Should have kept faith with Gee, what an achievement getting third on a track like that just weeks after breaking his leg.
Anyone making changes before Fort William?
I need to change my expensive guys. Had Hart and Hill for val Di sole and it didn't pay off! I'm thinking gee will be up there again on his home track
I have brought in Danny for Fort William as I think he has the potential to win there.
Finally given up on Riffle after having him on my team since the beginning of last year (no doubt he will finally pull a good result out now!).
Graves was a disappointment at Val Di Sol but I am going to stick with him and see what he can do this weekend.
Made changes before Carpenter crashed out last week, just changed to Tracey Hannah for Ft Bill.
i think greg will win ft bill.. he's on form riding well and the track is one of his favs. gwinny might struggle to match his power on the motorway.
danny doesnt make sense for the money although he'll probably be up there.
beaumont is worth a shout too.
girls? im stuck :S
thirion is value for money this week too.. great form.
No changes for me this weekend. Greg, Steve Smith, Nick Beer, Mick Hannah and Tracey Hannah.
chapa - Greg was for Gee and Smith was for Brosnan to keep the costs in line, so not too bad after all.
gwinny might struggle to match his power on the motorway.
Revised motorway looks like it will have a much smaller effect on things than before
I didn't bother with any changes between Val-de-sole and Ft-William and it seems I finally seem to have a good(ish) team together I think, all my Men finished in the top 20 and Ragot did the business in the Womens...
The question now though is do I monkey with a comfortably above average team (If not Top drawer) or do I take a flier on some some Tweaks ahead of Mont St Anne?
For instance chopping in Hannah or Neethling for Joe Smith based on the strength of his Ft-Bill Finish?
Utter Maddness or calculated genius?
Team changes for MSA are vexing me too.
Instinct says to swap Greg and Danny for Sam Hill and Bryceland, but that could backfire drastically.
I'm keeping Hannah in, anyway.
Don't forget your transfers guys.
Still undecided on mine. Is Minnarr off form or not? Hmmmm.
Wouldn't make changes yet, Mont Sainte Anne isn't until 24th June.
