Glen Helen Rd. 12 Final Season Results - 05 MX Nationals 12-rider team Fantasy League

[dirt bike dave]

Too bad for Byrne and Bubba that Kawasaki could not manage to put legal fuel into their bikes at Budd's Creek.

After reading Racer X's interview with the AMA's Steve Whitelock, it does not sound like there is any chance the two riders will get their 25 points back.

Nicki -
Does your spreadsheet allow you to quickly tally how many teams each rider is on?

I don't want to create any extra work for you, but it would be fun to know which riders were picked by 100% of the teams, as well as how many teams picked guys like Brown, Fonseca, Byrne, Tedesco, Alessi, Grant, etc...

I vote no.

You bet..... that's how I post the "hot picks" of the week. If everyone picked them, they don't really get considered because we all get the rider's points.

247 RC 27
178 Reed 27
176 KW 27

118 Dowd 0
117 Preston 0
93 Byrne 1
85 Laansoo 0
80 Wey 0
78 Dement 0
61 Clark 1
56 Thomas 0
52 Ferry 13
44 Voss 4
0 Evans 3
0 Larocco 2
0 Tortelli 1

250F's:
193 Brown 6
169 Tedesco 9
163 Langston 26
158 Grant 10
157 Alessi 22
111 Millsaps 25
105 Short 0
103 Walker 2
103 Hepler 23
103 Hughes 16
98 D. Smith 0
83 Carpenter 0
79 K. Smith 0
75 Mills 0
64 Ramsey 10
63 Laninovich 5

Thanks, Nikki!

Looks like my team w/Byrne is the only one that took a hit from the Kawasaki fuel fiasco.

Fonseca is more than carrying his weight, though.

Looks like the keys to early season success have been Brown, Fonseca, Tedesco and Grant.

 

[Midhigh]

Yes

 

[nikki]

Yes - 5
No - 10

 

[nikki]

Unadilla results posted! :cool:

 

[dirt bike dave]

This is my mid season report card on some of the riders. A rider not picked my many but doing real well deserves an 'A' grade. Someone picked by many but not doing well gets a bad grade.


A+ = Mike Brown. Only six players picked him, and he leads the 250f class and is tied with KW for the 2nd most points of any rider.

A = Ivan Tedesco, Ernesto Fonseca. Top 12 in points but not on many rosters.

A- = Michael Byrne, Josh Grant. Risky picks paying off.

B+ = Matt Walker. Could raise his grade substantially with a strong 2nd half.

D = Nate Ramsey. SX success not translating to outdoors.

D- = Tim Ferry. Has had lousy luck all year. Great rider, but a bad pick so far.

F = Hansen. Most popular (11 teams picked him) of the no-shows.

Unpicked riders who would be graded well: Andrew Short, Danny Smith, Travis Preston, John Dowd, Nick Wey. All have over 100 points and went undrafted.

Looks like you made some good picks Dave, your starting to pull away!!

 

[Uchytil]

Yes

 

[cr250can]

looks like my team will be playing with 8 1/2 players. Ferry out and Ryno out, langston is a big question mark, and ramsey is only half there.

 

[nikki]

Updated with Lakewood results! Also added another prize top the list - EVS No-Sweat Beanie donated by Oldguy! Thanks, Dave!

 

[cr250can]

:bang: not looking good for my team. :bang:

 

[nikki]

Updated for Washougal! :ride:

 

[cr250can]

I have that sinking feeling. :ahhh:
Maybe I will do better If there is a fantasy SX team.

Wierd - every time I see from the forum page that the last post in a topic was by CR250can, I go to the thread and his posts are not there. Basically, every post he makes is invisible to me. Been going on for a few monhts. Is this happening to anyone else?

yep, i even went to his profile and searched on all replies by cr250can and it tells me no matches found??? :think:

 

[nikki]

I think he's stuck in an administrative glitch.

 

[pace]

Hope you don't hold it against me for bumping you off the podium, Nikki. It's purely temporary - just watch me start descending back down the rankings from Millville. ;)

I used to see all his posts up untill a few days ago but, now they are all gone.

 

[cr250can]

No wonder nobody ever responds to my posts anymore. I'm lost in the twighlight zone. :coocoo:

by the way Ramsey is out for the rest of the season. there goes my team.

 

[cnielse5]

Hey can you see my posts now? I came into the system as a different user (cnielse5) instead of cr250can. I think I was :uh: from the system.

 

[ellandoh]

i see two of you now ......................






maybe thats the nyquil :think: :)

 

[cnielse5]

Yeah, I am reborn as cnielse5. :cool:
I was begining to wonder why no one was responding to me any more.

As for my (cr250can) fantasy mx team it is not looking good now that ramsey is out for the rest of the year. Now I have lost Ramsey, Ferry, and Hughes. Langston's banged up, stewart has done poorly in the points, and reeds concussion is sounding scary.

I suspect my team will tumble down the standings. :bang:
