Best U23 Rider

Tomsek clearly makes it in.

Voted

Tomsek does get my vote.

Looked through, all looks good.

Tomsek might get my vote to be in there, winning the only two U23 races he was in. Tough to say between Jurd and Diez...

Thanks Don. I had kind of already been taking top 9 into account for Jurd, but it does make his nomination to vote a little stronger to be officially included as a result.

Yes, the WC does count as a result, it is the 'Classic' of the U23 category, and often there are a lot of TFs there, so the results do count, despite the bug on the site not having them displayed as such.

Good points. I'll make edits.

And I'd also need confirmation from Don about the 'top 9 in WC' counting as a result. I was not including those.

The nominess seem all right, Max, but you have listed all the wins and results. According to the opening post, only the WC-wins (tt and normal) should be mentioned.

1 other tiny thing, which I think I also saw in your other thread.

This format looks a bit confusing to me. Maybe it is only because I am a committee member here and have seen the standard format too much But at first sight this makes me think the rider has 1 win and 2 results:

1 Win, Tyinkrysset - Juvasshytta (U23 Div.1)
2nd at Canmore - Highwood Pass (U23 Div. 1)

I would just stick to the format, and simply say: 1 other result, 2nd at...

Last thing: in the opening post Don has "8th place, WC ITT" as a result, but on the riders page that doesnt show as a result (other than for the normal WC, where it does). So this is more of a question to Don: should this count as a result?

Went with a 3-way vote-off.

Couldn't decide between Jurd and Diez to be in against Tomsek.

(And all may be academic in the long run with Falcon's performance this year.)

To vote:

Name: Zac Jurd
Team: Temora Tornadoes
Age (at start of season): 21
Points inside category: 50
1 Win (U23 Div.1)
2 other results, including 6th at the U23 WC (U23 Div. 1)

To vote:

Name: Fausto Diez
Team: PazCC
Age (at start of season): 22
Points inside category: 88
2 wins (both U23 Div. 3)
1 other result (U23 Div. 2)

To vote:

Name: Peter Tomšek
Team: Team Siverbo
Age (at start of season): 21
Points inside category: 30
2 Wins, including U23 WC ITT (U23 Div. 1)

Certain:

Name: Carlos Falcón
Team: Cyclocomotiv
Age (at start of season): 21
Points inside category: 80
2 Wins (both U23 Div. 1)
2 other results, including 3rd in U23 WC (U23 Div. 1)

Name: Indris Spura
Team: Boavistabest
Age (at start of season): 22
Points inside category: 80
2 Wins (both U23 Div. 2)
1 other result (also U23 Div. 2)

Name: Spartak Klokov
Team: Tashkent Browncoats
Age (at start of season): 21
Points inside category: 62
1 Win (U23 Div. 2)
2 other results (also U23 Div. 2)

A few more workings, but definitely have to wait for U23 WC tomorrow.

Definitely in:
Carlos Falcon (All wins and results - 3 total - in Division 1, won many head-to-heads against other potential nominees)

Right at the edge of being in:
Spura and Klokov - Division 2 results (3 each)

Would require a vote:
Tomšek - U23 ITT champion, one other win

Need to know U23 WC results:
Smidt, Prinsen, Jurd - all options still
Others - winner here with any results elsewhere probably deserves a nomination

Probably out:
Fausto Diez - low level results, don't compare well with above
Donald Auðólfursson - good season results but would lose out to Smidt, Prinsen, Jurd if any score in WC
Koster - loses out because Tomsek beat him in WC ITT

Initial shortlist:

Carlos Falcón
Fausto Diez*
Indris Spura*
Spartak Klokov
Donald Auðólfursson

after
U23 TT WC:
add
-Peter Tomšek
-Fabian Koster

*lower divisions

Waiting for Day 87 races and WC races.

Community Pre-Nominations (of course you still decide if you want to nominate them):

Spartak Klokov, reason: Spartak Klokov has won 1 U23 race, got a third spot in 2 more of them and another 4th spot. He will participate in the last U23 of the season, were he might have a chance as well (note from Don, will update this after that race)

- Only results in U23 races count



Format for this category:

Name:
Team:
Age (at start of season):
Points inside category:
wins mention U23 WC or U23 WC ITT wins (U-23 Division in which the wins were achieved)
other results mention U23 WC or U23 WC ITT results (U-23 Division in which the results were achieved)

Example:

Name: Baby Doe
Team: Invisible Riders
Age (at start of season): 19
Points inside category: 100
2 wins, including U23 WC (1 U-23 Div-1, 1 U-23 Div2)
2 other results, including 8th place U23 WC TT (1 U-23 Div-1, 1 U23 Div-2)

Please do it exactly like this, just don't nominate Baby Doe
