It's a whole other section that will cause a kerfuffle.
This one won't end at 9 but if you want it, don't come crying to me when your head is spinning:-
1) No full current team kit.
(An easy start)
That's ringing more bells, well at least the same first letter bit is.
I guess he's disqualified by virtue we didn't know who he was!

An essential rule but strictly rule no. 1 is -
Obey the rules

Rules linked again for reference - I know 1066 had some mental anguish trying to conform! (the saddle bag rules)

There problem with Cav is you then need Renshaw to be his lead out man.

Rubbish. What about the World's, MSR, half 2011 tour (with green jersey) and all of 2012 tour.

I was thinking more in the virtual team sense as Renshaw and Cav make an invincible pairing on flat stages. Not that Cav can't achieve without Renshaw, just that Renshaw adds about a 30% chance of victory onto Cav's already high chances.
They were a pretty formidable team.
Renshaw's third head butt - class.
Cav's Champs win by a furlong - even classier. (The greatest last corner ever, FACT)

Probably old news for Brits, but news to me

Very true. I had that combo in my initial team.
Cav said it was like riding a tandem with Renshaw as a lead out.

I can't help but feel that Team Cycling Geeks should only contain cyclists that only the geeks know about. The big boys like Wiggins, Cav, Froome; everyone has heard of, we are looking for the cult heroes, the Ryders, Hoogerlands and Moncouties of the cycling world. Maybe I am seeing this differently from everyone else but we are the outsiders on this board, so we should pick the outsiders of the pro peloton. I might be a bit pissed though and chatting nonsense.

Never mind knowing who he is, how do you say his name. As I recall there was much debate early Tour whether he was Morkoo, Morkov, Merkov, Morkev etc etc.

Well spellings definitely an issue!

There's still Demare, but I'm reluctant as he was my secret weapon last season.
So secret in fact he didn't know about it!

Key question re Bos.
Was he the assailant or victim in the Tour of Turkey bike pull off?
