Daniel and Gabe talk post Sunny King criterium. Its not often both get to sit down together right after a race to discuss what happened and gather their thoughts. New for 2024 is a point structure for our top 5 picks. 2 points if our pick is in the spot predicted and 1 point for placing a rider in the top 5 but not in the right placing. Should we add a multiplier or bonus if we are able to make a perfect top 5 pick? Thank you again to our sponsors.
