2019 neo-pro draft

[oliveira]

I would like to propose two new rules for the 2019 neo-pro draft:

- Start the draft 1 week earlier than WT transactions and not in the same day;

- Change the neo-pro definition in these terms:
                 "Neo-pro is a u23 rider who never spent a full season on a WT or pro-conti team"
                   
                  to

                 "Neo-pro is a u23 rider who never spent a full season on a WT team"

As, since last year, there are more Pro Conti teams, including teams with a development purpose as Hagens Berman - Axeon. I feel this year is almost impossible to find 40 decent neos on Conti/U23 level to score next year at HC / WT level.

What do you guys think?

I think it's still perfectly fine to find 20 talents, and passing in the second round is always an option.

Guys like Bernal and Sosa are worth millions, not game-breaking €30k.

If the current rules stay in place, I also don't see why both can't start on November 1 as usual. Some youngster could still impress in the Grande Boucle of Hainan.
