  • Well, I swapped out TMo for Carpenter.

    Problem is, I've still got 2 DNSers in there in the shape of Villegas and Cunningham. I'm tempted to get rid of cunny because as I understand it, he can't find a ride for this year (which is a shame as I think he'd have done well).

    Problem is, I can't seem to find why Villegas wasn't there.

    As I've only got 1 more transfer available, I think I'm going to save it until nearer the next race. Should be a bit clearer then as to what's happening. Might turn out that Cunny finds himself a team (I hope he does).

    I'm undecided on my transfers, think I'll have to keep an eye on Jonnier, I know she's broken a couple of bones, but from the interview I read with her there seem to be a few things lost in translation, like what bones exactly are broken... I'm assuming it's the pubic ramus as I've never heard of a samus, and one of her transverse processes. Meh it's a couple of months to Val di Sole, it might happen.

    I could sub her out for Trac Hannah though and free up another £100k for another rider... tempting.

    Think I'll hold off on the transfers. A lot can happen between now and the next round, training accidents and such.

    Did think this, but then I'd forget to do it, so out go Sabrina Jonnier as shes taking up far to much budget and out also Beer (the Marcel variety unfortunately) and in come The Hannahs

    Plus it also seems you can cancel any changes made in the transfer window, as long as you are still in that window

    well a decent start, great to see carpenter in second! out with polc and o'conner, graves and ben reid in, should be a more consistant team, graves can only get stronger throughout the season

    I've been cheated out of points!

    I work it out as this from the race;
    Hill 11th = 70
    Minaar 1st = 200
    Villegas = 0
    Beer 12th = 69
    Nicole 10th = 55

    I didn't get any points for beer, what gives?

    EDIT
    turns out I picked Marcel Beer and not Nick Beer, what a bellend!
    FAIL

    See I didn't think it was nick I'd picked, but I was hoping Marcel would have some of his brothers ability, but seems he's a Dan Atherton

    Bollocks, thats 2 of my riders with broken bones now, I'd planned my transfers already, glad I didn't go ahead now otherwise I'd be fairly screwed.

    Anyone think that the athertons only have 2 bikes to share between them, when one is fit again the other has to be injured to keep face

    FFS, my team is just plain cursed.

    Left Villegas and T-Mo in ditches.

    Manon Carpenter got a DNF - Anyone know what happened to her?
    CG Got a DNS - Broken Hip - Will need transfering to the ditch on Monday, to be replaced with a Brit in time for Fort Bill next week.

    Needles down in 45th
    Cunny 66th

    Hoping they can sort it out tomorrow.
