    Tut tut tut. You don't know Dutchie Albert Timmer from Giant. Shame. Or Aussie Mitch Docker of Ulrika with the 'interesting' shoes in de Ronde? Who I thought was my Ronde man Adam Blythe on account of the shoes. I know who both mine are. OK I had to go and look up how on earth you spell Bodnar's first name Maciej (stil none the wiser as to how you say it mind). And I am assuming that my Declerq refers to Bart De Clerq...

    On second thoughts maybe I should google...

    Have now...

    Dumping Knees as he is Murdoch.

    Backaert...a plucky young Belgium riding for an unknown team who gets into the breakaway and then quietly slips off the front as all the others look behind at the approaching peloton. He rides alone into the velodrome to glory (and his weight in cobbles?)

    OK so its Tim Declercq of Topsport Vlaanderen not Bart De Clerq...

    Come on Tim!

    Two 23 year olds.

    Lasse's a bit of a hot prospect for the future, riding for cannondale. Few good placings under 23 and got 3rd overall in Dubai in 2014.

    Maxime's a bit less auspicious but was 5th in the under 23 Ronde van Vlaanderen in 2012, who is riding for Ag2R

    And no-one got Wiggo, Degenkolb, Terps.

    So I'm considering picking 1 more for each person (in the same order) until so that all the favourites are out.

    Thoughts? Unfortunately little one has lost interest now so it will be me doing it.

    OK will do now. I'm not doing it one by one, I shall do batches as dinner is on.

    EDIT. That is silly, I will edit the posts I have made already.

    Did your son get a pick? He did all the work after all.

    Nah, he likes riding his bike, but watching it is a challenge too much.

    Enough left for another one each. Then any left in the pot stay in the pot. Again will update the existing posts.

    Sweet. Wallays is kind of becoming one of my men anyway and JVS is a former winner trying to recapture his glory days.

    As for the others I think we all remember Bagdonas' monumental ride in taking the "Memorial Philippe Van Coningsloo" race in 2012 and his GC victory in the "Baltic Chain Tour" will live long in the memory.

    Le Bon is so obscure that I can't even see his name on the start list.

    Thanks to you and your boy, Joelsim. :)

    Le Bon, since he left Duran Duran, has been riding as a neo for Madiot. 2nd year now I think

    I just did some research (I hope I'll be forgiven with not being familiar with the Bretagne-Seche Environnement roster!)

    RAST Gregory (Swi) - Trek Factory Racing
    MCLAY Daniel (GBr) - Bretagne-Seche Environnement
    LABORIE Christophe (Fra) - Bretagne-Seche Environnement
    VAN GENECHTEN Jonas (Bel) - IAM Cycling

    So with Dan McLay being both a brit, AND in a plucky pro continental team I think he has to be my main my man. [avatar suitably updated] I'm hoping for an early break :D

    Very many thanks Joelsim (& son) for all the work.

    Cheers
    Phil
