Cycling All-Time Draft

[Michaelf7777777]

1 unless you are at the end of the list when it reverses in which case you get two picks but note that the order changes every two rounds

 

[Craig]

Alright (I assume I have two, so)

Eddy Merckx
Sean Kelly (won classics, stage races, Grand Tours, but not a World Championship )

 

[Indipper]

You have one, Craigos. Have you never done a draft before?

 

[Craig]

You have one, Craigos. Have you never done a draft before?

No, guess that is why I'm such a n00b.

Fine I'll take Merckx.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

No, guess that is why I'm such a n00b.

Fine I'll take Merckx.

Don't take this the wrong way, but...

drafts work like this:

someone posts a draft order (Michael at the bottom of page 1)
the first person in that draft order picks
then the second
then the third
etc.

you're sixth, so you'll have to wait till Indipper has picked. OK?

 

[Indipper]

I didn't even realise he wasn't first.

Like I said, I have never done this before, so no offence taken.

 

[Michaelf7777777]

Jamee's 24 hours is up so I'll take Eddie Merckx

 

[Johnners]

Shame he's already taken I guess...?

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Shame he's already taken I guess...?

Nah, Craig's didn't count. He's sixth in the order, remember.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Ooh, my turn.

Hard to go past Lance Armstrong, then. Chubb is up.

 

[Johnners]

Haha, I didn't read the order, just assumed Craig was actually first

 

[Jamee999]

Indurain

 

[Chubb]

Bernard Hinault

Won everything that mattered more than once. Le dernier vraiment grand cycliste Francais, le blaireau. Un grand ego, mais un vrai champion. Haven't written French for ages, probably mucked that up.

 

[Indipper]

Jacques Anquetil

 

[Craig]

Felice Gimondi

Gimondi won the Tour de France (first year as a pro), the Vuelta, and the Giro in his first three years as a pro. Also won Roubaix, the Worlds and loads of other big Classics.

 

[Johnners]

Fausto Coppi (ITA)
Federico Bahamontes (ESP)

Craig, you're up again

 

[Michaelf7777777]

1. Chubb
2. Clapo
3. Michaelf7777777
4. Jamee999
5. Indipper
6. Craig

[Craig]

Charly Gaul (LUX)
Alfredo Binda (ITA)

 

[Michaelf7777777]

Craig: You only have one pick mate. Should I take that as Gaul or would you prefer Binda.
