edited April 2015 in Pro race
Following on from the very successful BR Flanders last weekend, I need you to put your names on the list.

For total impartiality I shall get my 7 year old son to do the randomisation on Saturday so please start getting your entries in now. The game will work on the basis that all entrants at 4pm on Saturday (on PCS) will be put into a hat individually.

The riders will be drawn in the order of this thread, the first pick will therefore go to the first person to reply to this thread. My son, Thomas will draw the riders out of the hat.

The results will commence one by one next Saturday afternoon at 5pm. How exciting.

I will start this off by being number 1 out of the hat.

The same rules as last week apply, Frenchie if you get Wiggo then I want a hand-written sign please. Once everyone has entered I will put an order of depart up, rather like an ITT.

So,

1. Joel 17:00
2. 17:01
3. 17:02
4. 17:03
etc

Good luck.

    14-1 again.

    I didn't expect to see Oliveira at all in RVV but he was quite visible - even a catalyst in the winning move.

    16-8 please.

    Worth mentioning what people can choose in case they missed the Flanders thread.

    Also, personally I think you should be allowed the right to not include complete no-name riders as it is no fun if you get someone who you or no one else has heard of and who is highly unlikely to be mentioned on the ticker or ever cross your tv screen!

    I agree Frenchie. Bewley was pointless last week, he wasn't mentioned once. At least this way then a decision can be taken if everyone is in agreement to remove the bottom half of the riders.

    Ahoy-hoy!

    Count me in, please, my lovely!

    (And if Thomas could see his way to me getting Sagan, that'd be great :wink: )

    I shall print the PCS startlist and cut them out. Well my boy will anyway. We'll put some of his tunes on the hifi and he'll be as happy as Larry. Then he will pick out the names and I will update on here in realtime.

    I'm in.

    Personally I don't mind if I get a no-name. I'll at least look him up on wikipedia :-)

    And Frenchie doesn't have to get Wiggins this time.

    Not if Gerrans is riding.

    Yeah. I know. From a completely twisted perspective, it will mean I can spend those two hours doing something with my son rather than being otherwise engaged. And he will enjoy it, if he doesn't then I will just have to be otherwise engaged.

    Random number generator's what you want, innit. Slap the rider list in a spreadsheet, and then use this
