Thanks for the u21 lists, Franky

S17 RACE 5: Bornem - Geraardsbergen



The Pre selection:
Marc Huling   24   0   Turrones
Sam Rooney   27   2,11   Lemarche
Brooklyn Abolins   23   2,45   OphiukoCT
Liam Trautemberg   24   2,56   TeaMetal
Marc Ashley   24   2,85   TeaMetal
Nick Thompson   23   3,03   TeaMetal
Bob Janson   23   3,14   Agua_Verde
Stephen Brown   26   3,87   FlyEaglesFly
Nate Filsbourne   24   4,33   PucelaBike
Steve Morse   27   4,44   Monty
Oliver Odom   23   4,47   Agua_Verde
Billy Winger   24   4,52   TeaMetal
Andrew Iverson   23   4,76   TeaMetal

Comment: A cold cob-hills race where Huling will be our leader, and none of the preselected ones has a weather advantage. It will be a very young 9, being almost all of them between 23-24 yo. And adding to that point that I'm not an expert in this kind of races... I will not expect a lot of points tomorrow

I'm not repeating next year as NT Manager, I can tell you

[Aurora Australis]

Have you made a mistake on your formula, because I notice your table of Top TT Hills at the start of the season seems less hilly than this calculation which is a flat-TT with some hill.

The % are basically the same, my problem was the filters...I filtered by 50 hills, and then, some of your guys are not in that filter...

I already fixed it

With Greg Steele sacked overnight, my two most expensive 19-year-old purchases this season $8.7mill & $5.5mill have now gone to work in a factory, and my equal third most expensive is hanging by a thread.

You should reconsider, Champ.

Excellent results in this semi-hill-TT ; 2º + 3º + 7º + 10º = 745 points ! 

Just in the 2 times trials of this NT season, Australia scored a total of ( 840 + 745 = ) 1.585 points, and possibly the foundation of ;
an Australian world championship ! 
The current top 5 ranking with 1 more flatcobble NT race to go :
1.   1.805   
2.   1.340
3.   1.300
4.   1.040
5.    870

It looks very good with this big lead.
But it is not entirely certain yet ; the Netherlands and Great Britain have the nrs 1 and 2 flatcobble specialists.
Although Australia has the nr 5 and it seems we are in a great position to become world champion. But you never know in NT races.
Muchos good luck, Franky !

haha, I'm not going to reconsider it, for sure. It's time for new blood, anyone different than VOS, Aurora or me. We had Ophi once... we have new good aussies now, like Zatarra, NervionBike, the team with the most awesome name in the game ꧁༒•TheKing•༒꧂or oldies like TeaMetal or Frenkie that never came here
