As there are only 10 entrants this gives me the opportunity to do some Friday afternoon stats.

Now teams ranked by ... er ... originality. Or perhaps stupidity. How many riders does each team have that nobody else has picked? Wiser heads will tend to concur and pick riders where there is some consensus that they aren't totally hopeless. Stupider heads will have picked largely at random and no one will agree with them. Oh dear. I seem to have topped the list of this one.
