Zwolinski

Romuald Maes

Zwol it is.

I like Dobrolyubov here for my vote.

Maes double-checked now. I think everything else is okay still.

I like the nominations, of course only 1 of the 4 to be voted on will make it, but I don't see any of them being far weaker than the others, so I agree with them all getting a chance. Did not see any mistakes in the format either. Ready for the vote as far as I'm concerned.

Thanks Fox, will check if I missed some of those and will check final seasonranking in their profiles.

Do you agree with the selection of riders? Myself having doubt if Romuald Maes should be selected (ranked 7th)

Checking: (Not sure how to do rankings now that Day 1 has arrived)

Kristiaan de Mayer - (Day 1: Now moved up a spot in the rank - now 13th). Looks good.

Fabio Borges - looks good, I think both Leipzig-Potsdam and Frankfurt - Heidelberg end up being out of category (former fails for not meeting the 1.5x rule, the latter for having HL>SP), so calculations there seem correct.

Kerry Hadaway - I think 4 races not in category? (Porto ITT, Porto Prologue, Eindhoven - Mastricht, and Groningen Prologue) This would lower in category points/percentage: 940/88.3%, if my interpretation is correct.

Alfred Zwolinski - looks good (-60 points in category for Norway Tour, right?)

Arseny Dobrolyubov - (Day 1: slipped down one spot in rank, now 34th.) I think three races not in category (Messina-Palermo and Bodo-Mosjoen), both for 50 points, but also Ochjor - Ochjor (HL>SP) for 80 points, so am unsure of the points/percentage for this one. Slightly lower point total and percentage if my interpretation is correct, but even if not, seems a second look is required.

Victoriano Feijoo - (Day 1: slipped down to 90th in rank.) I think Sagunto - Castillo de Sagunto is not in category (HL>SP), so might lose 40 points there.


First time checking, so this took me a long time, and I hope I haven't made any errors of my own!

Thanks for clarification. Means Zwolinski scored less points in this category and 1 result less (3rd in Norway Prologue).

A TT is not a normal race, so it does not count.

I think after Kentucky Moonshine today all relevant races have been and nothing, except OCM rank, will change. Although the WC TTs are within the criteria.
