Alright, looks like we have a winner in Hellenga.

Alright, I'll put Zampogna in the vote.

Will write them up later.

Zampogna.

I would support Zampogna. I think its incredible that he has now 4 podiums (all 2nd) in 4 WT cobbleraces in a row. But yes, thats spread over two seasons.

Okay, I'd like help picking the cobbler to vote on alongside Hellenga.

Goos (Netherlands) won CoN Paris, 5th VLG, 290 points, no other appearances
Zampogna (Canada) 2nd CoN Paris, 2nd VLG, 280 points, 4 other appearances as LO
Ågård (Denmark) 1st VLG, 3rd CoN Paris, 270 points, no other appearances

I think it's between Ågård (win) and Zampogna (smaller country, also helped as LO). Thoughts?

Some data:

Rider Country Points Category Wins Res Top9
 Toller Péter  Hungary 430  CL 0 2 3
 Gaetan Digenova  Italy 420  SP 1 2 0
 Romuald Maes  France 410  SP 0 3 1
 Enoch Rinks  Canada 390  SP 0 1 3
 Emrick Hellenga  England 310  HL 1 1 0
 Douglas Brasil  Brazil 310  SP 1 2 0
 Jerry Tuimavave  New Zealand 310  CL 1 0 1
 Erly Adslev  Denmark 300  SP 1 0 2
 Vincent Goos  Netherlands 290  CB 1 0 1
 Darcy Zampogna  Canada 280  CB 0 2 0
 Nicolau Oliveira  Portugal 270  HL 0 1 2
 Ragn Ågård  Denmark 270  CB 1 1 0
 Radko Kindl  Czech Republic 270  SP 0 1 2
 Ruslan Prikhodko  Uzbekistan 260  CL 0 1 2

I would consider the following:

Climbers: Hard to look past Peter, although he doesn't have a win.
Sprinters: Probably Digenova and Maes are most deserving.
Cobblers: Tough to separate the cobblers, maybe Agard has the best claim.
Hillers: Hellenga

So right now I'm thinking of nominating Peter, Digenova, Maes, and candidates being Hellenga, Agard, Goos, Zampogna. (Is 3+4 the right number?)

Anyone I missed that is worth considering?
