2018 MXGP-MX2 GP Season Fantasy Game

To the example of the SX Forum Fantasy League and a Belgian motormagazine, it seemed fun to me to make a game for the MXGP and MX2-season aswell. Participation is free and without obligation ofcourse. What's the idea?

Format
This game will be run by the format of picking 5 MXGP- and 5 MX2-riders, who will score points for you during the season. Chosen riders will be your team for the entire season. Each rider has an amount of points, most of them are the points they scored in 2017. If a rider changes class before or during the season, you will keep the points he scores. Each MXGP-team must not exceed the value of 1,500 points, and each MX2-team must not exceed 1,000 points. Example: you can't choose Thomas Kjær Olsen (579 points) and Thomas Covington (532 points) together in your MX2-team, as they already exceed the 1,000 points. Each team must exist out of 5 MXGP-riders and 5 MX2-riders, so 10 in total. If you select a team with less or over 5 riders per class, your team is not valid. If your team exceeds the 1,500 or 1,000 points, your team is not valid. Motocross of Nations is not included in this game.

Scoring
Each rider scores an amount of points every GP, wich will be the amount he scores for your team. For example, if you have Jeffrey Herlings on your team and he wins the GP with 50 points, you get 50 points just like he does. This is the case for every rider on your team.

Standings
The standings will be formed by MXGP and MX2-results combined. Standings will be updated before every next round. If there is a tie at the end of the year, I'll go down the list of how many GP's each team best rider has won. If it is a dead tie, it will go to who posted their team first.

Prizes
- Get your bench racing skills to a whole other level
- A year of bragging and chestpounding to the other Vital-members if you win
- Eternal fame

Attention! The riders list below is indicative. Some of them will not race the entire series, as some will skip the overseas and only race the European rounds. Others will race only a handful of races, so choose carefully.

You must have your team selection posted in this thread by 11 PM WET on Thursday March 1st. No exceptions, because that is the day I will build the final spreadsheets that I will use for scoring.

If you have any questions, shoot! Good luck to all!
