It’s that time of year again. Well a week away anyway. When 53% of people scan every article going to find a differentiator that will bring them glory. When 42% of you just go with riders you like or ask the computer to choose your team (computer says "no") and the other 7% spend their days bemoaning that the bargain riders are being mentioned. Then there’s the 12% that come away from this realising Larrick can’t do maths.
Now without a doubt, there’ll be a flurry of posts when the prices are released. "Why is he/she so cheap Chris/Jens?" Why is he/she so expensive Chris/Jens?" "Why is he/she right on the sweet spot Chris/Jens?" Then there’s the, "I don’t care, I’m taking Pog/Cav/Bernie Eisel whatever they cost" brigade. All in all, a cornucopia of convictions. A treasure trove of theories. An argosy of assumptions. A prominent plethora of postulations if you will.
So who are you hoping will be cheap? Who is that one rider you think will be the opium of the masses and who will limbo their way under the radar? (The 7 percenters can ignore that one) Finally, who will you be taking come rain, hail or a muddy Paris-Roubaix?
No answers on a postcard please. The comment section will have to do.
