Best Flat Road Rider

A 3-3 tie, so I will have to break it. Dodemaide gets my vote, and not just for his name, but also because he scored more points inside category and did it with better competition.
So Royce will be on the form.
I am sure Kavanagh will make it some day though!

Voted Kavanagh

Voted

btw, I'm not voting on this category. It's too hard to do. A vote for Kavanagh looks like I'm playing favorites but a vote for Dodemaide insults my own rider/season.

Thanks Fox_River_Max, Eric Brink updated with 495 points.

It will be named after Dodemaide, if it survives the poll this season, since we're testing it this time round.

Also, will this award be named after Dodemaide or Rixon (or Holwerda)?

Checking:

A weird one to check since I watch thread obsessively during the season. Only thing I notice is that Brink should probably say 495 points (not 475, a likely typo), as that matches what I tally and what was tallied in the thread.

Allright. I will swap Kavanagh and Rossi. And I decided to leave out Antonov.

A very good list overall and no arguments. Though I'd honestly consider dropping Kavanagh (we rode against some weak competition in Div 6) into the voting and moving Rossi up. Rossi did it against the best sprinters and flat race riders.

(and Royce needs to be in consideration before retirement, definitely.)

My proposal for nominees:
Braith Rixon (700 points, simply the best)
Herman Kavanagh (406 points, enormous amount of races with points and two wins)
Eric Brink (475 points, 3rd FR rider in points with two wins)

To vote on:
Royce Dodemaide (450 points, legend and a win in Top Division)
Immanuil Antonov (450 points, only nominee with good result in classic Helsinki GP)
Maybe Davin Rossi (620 points, no wins but good points)

What do you guys think?
