Going to stick my neck out & suggest this course doesn't suit Jackson Goldnuts. Too flat, too pedally, an anti park rat track.

Obvs saying this to put the fantasy cat amongst the fantasy pigeons. 😜

Amauray Pieron will win this weekend. He’s had a great training off season and is a powerhouse on pedally tracks. Neither Jackson or Loic are at full speed yet. Chucked a couple of the young guns in and a wild(ish) card and jobs jobbed.

I'm sticking with Asa Vermette. The youth movement is underway!
 
Last call klaxon for round one. Rosters close in eight hours.

I repeat, the ship will detonate in T minus ten minutes.

 
I'm in. Relegated to watching the highlights, I'm not spending $19 a month to watch another form of racing. Wish it was on Flo.

Will it eventually show what riders are on each others teams?

They lock others teams out 3 days before the race start, so if you are at the pointy end and reckon you have discovered the secret sauce, put your round 2 team in <72 hours before then next round starts or be happy that others can view your team.

Just remember to do it though, many peeps.... ;)
 
I see they've already ditched the gap at the top, as everyone is casing it due to lack of speed.
Unless I was reading that wrongly, earlier.
 
Rosters are locked, no more team changes ! Needless to say with this old school track, someone with a bit of experience should win it, like Bruni, Pierron, Shaw, Wilson etc.

Though I have went full gamble and put my eggs in the kiddies basket :oops: then we have Vali & Gracey nursing injuries.

Good work people, 15 in the league - we have a competition on our hands! Mille DNS in Q2, so there's my first misstep of the season, should have kept Gracie.

Scanning the results quick, among the big names, it looks like no Nina, Ellie Hulseboch or Dak & BK looks to have crashed in sector 3 & DNF.

I did spot Hattie having a stinker in timed training & discounted her. Maybe this will be her year. :unsure:

In other news, VW Surfbum has a mountain bike week to forget!
 
Hattie has been FLYING pre season and won the recent UK National by 15+ seconds. Her setup is pretty unique as is her bike.. She was the first in my team for Fantasy, but she's a mate so i'm a little biased.
 
Didn't Oli Clark win on a Gates bike last year but the rules excluded juniors?
 
All 6 of my riders through which is good. They all get points at least.

Something I learnt last year, top qualifiers don’t often win come race day. Bring it on!
 
Blend of experience and youth (and riders who excel in different conditions)
