Lietava wins the vote 3-2-1

Blekevicius

Isidoro Morgovejo

Julo Lietava

Lietuva

!!! What a category this year... checked and looks okay to me, but wow, what a selection.


Vote for Isidoro, but only due to others not being great.

Swapped Bradley for Isidoro, so category is ready for voting

Dustin, not sure if you want to change your vote with the swap in riders?

my vote go to Julo Lietava

I vote for Bradley.

I've swapped a couple of them around, I still think Isidoro should be in ahead of Bradley due to the division difference and amount of stage wins by Isidoro, but if there's more support for this swap (can't just be you Don, someone else will have to want it to, democracy and all that jazz) then I'll swap them around ready for voting

Ah yes, sorry for deleting my own post, didnt want to be bothering too much. Indeed I said something about swapping all voties and nominees for my part. Exactly for the reasons you give in your post now. Good luck!

Erwin, did your post get deleted? I thought about it and you are right, I’ve placed too much value on YC wins and not enough on GC wins, I’ll have a swap around and see if we can still get Isidoro to win

Don, it’s my favourite part each season reading your reasons why sprinters don’t belong here (except for certain circumstances) I love it!

Well, I will say Isidoro. But it's a lost cause at this point. He'll win the award just because sprinters can have it all in this game. 

True, Marcel did well, but I wouldn't change him for any of the other nominations due to his GC win being Div 3, and 8th GC in the U-23 tour, even as a Teammate, isn't great. He got 1 stage win and 2 stage results, so comparing to the six below, I don't think I would swap him in. Who would you swap him in for? (And Don, don't you dare say Isidoro )

Marcel De Haan won Norway gc yc and 8th Babytour as a domestique

Really struggled this season picking the six below, let me know what you think, lots of 1GC & 1YC riders, not many multiple tour winners (hence the Div 7 voting option rider)

Remember, if you're nominating (or voting for that matters), GC's and YC's are always more important than SC's. Only nominate a sprinter if he's actually gone and win more than one tour or Cup (of course SP tours still count), or if he did extraordinarily well in multiple ones.
