Australia NT: Season 3

[Franky]

Hi, we will open the new thread for the Season 3, presenting the selected 9 for the next stage.

We have a well known race, the last WC, a hard, long and pure climbing one in Duitama, Colombia.






Our National Manager has selected the following 9:

Cliff Fagan
Kent Carey
Niles Black
Ali Lindsay
Herbie Steele
Daniel Lucas
Chester Myers
Nate Henderson
Trevor Gatson

Our leader will be any of this 2: Fagan or Carey, Miguel is still thinking about it.


Possible Favourites: Any of the top10 in the last WC in Season 2 would be fav, Carl Martinussen (Norge) or any other Norwegian, Nicola Miorlin (Italy), Mike Janson (UK), Ronald Blaak (Nederland), István Szekér (Magyarország) ...

Great preview Franky ! 

About my own mentioned climbers Fagan (AUS), Lucas (AUS) and Miorlin (ITA).

Miorlin did great (2nd) in this WC race in previous season, but he was not one of the favorites of 1A.
And the many good climbers of lower divisions will participate too now. But Miorlin should be very good in this race, that is true.

I cannot say that of Fagan and Lucas. If Fagan is one of the best Australians for this NT race, it does not look good for Australia at all because the difference in GV points between Miorlin and Fagan is huge.

BTW, Brendan Marbley has joined to the australian golden generation in Manicomicos

Jasper Ablett   
Fraser Slipper   
Brendan Marbley   
Aaron Palmer   
Stephen Donaldson   
Steve Carey

Finaly Fagan will be our leader for this stage. We have 3 riders with very close value for this stage, and is dificult to find out who will be the best leader but I decide to give the responsability to Fagan.
It´s a dificult stage for Australia, but we will try to achive some points

[miguel11gh]

Too much for our riders. I knew that other leaders were 4 poits more valued in this stage than our leader so even if I had the hope of getting some points it was imposible to make the miracle.

Oh, finally, THE RANKINGS!!!!!!!

[Spammie]

Finally Derek Nelson is the best sprinter of the country :-)

I'm wondering about the TT (flat) rankings.  Is it taking stamina as the second/third most important stat, with technique being of little importance?

I'm just the one copy/pasting and preparing the data...Miguel is the one in charge of deciding the %, so...Miguel, any comment?

[miguel11gh]

second stat is flat, third technique and finaly Stamina
