There is no overall though....in terms of season, but I suppose you could be after the classics title.
Still, some guys are putting in the same team, every race. Not just the classics
I like this
http://skysports.html.infostradasports.com/asp/lib/event/tour/default.as...
170km remaining from 259.1km
the leaders have 6'08 over the peloton
Appoloino punctured so break down to10!
Could be interesting if Appollonio doesn't get back up to the leaders. Someone needs to be watching at precisely the halfway point to judge whether or not these guys get their bonus!
Vansummeren
Durbridge
Elmiger
all DNF
Great use of being able to have two teams there Twybaydos
I keep seeing it when I do scores, people putting the same team in for both. Seems pointless to me.
Standard
Peter Sagan
Alexander Kristoff
Gerald Ciolek
Taylor Phinney
Tom Boonen
Andreas Schillinger
Valentin Iglinksiy
James Vanlandschoot
Edwig Cammaerts
Purist
Peter Sagan
Johnny Hoogerland
Geraint Thomas
John Degenkolb
Alexandre Pichot
Michael Schwarzmann
Luca Paolini
Frederik Veuchelen
Jaco Venter
If all you're interested in is the single race win then yes, but if you're going for the overall then there's logic to it.
Sagan, Cancellara, Terpstra, Boonen, Devolder, Vanmarcke, Thomas, Van Asbroeck, Van Baarle. Both teams.
As identified last week, points in the break are meaningless so I'm not too fussed I haven't got any.
Alexander Kristoff (Sagan)
Fabian Cancellara
John Degenkolb (Van Summeren)
Greg Van Avermaet (Terpstra)
Zdenek Stybar
Stijn Devolder
Tom Van Asbroeck
Sep Vanmarcke
Wesley Kreder (Devenyns)
11 in the break.
Wallays, Broeckx, Zingle, Vanlandschoot, Phinney, Impey, W Kreder, R Kreder, Koetsjinski, Appollonio + Paolini
It looks like a persistent attacks have worked and we now have a group of leaders. Phinney is in there for BMC. Will the likes of Cannonale and Omega let that one go? Paolini is also there.

I couldn't manage to squeeze all my favourites into one team, so they're spread over the two teams (purist in brackets). This is one race where I'm never really that bothered about the fantasy game until after - I just love watching it regardless. Would be great to see Thomas ride well (and stay upright) though. Now the tennis kicks off a great day of sport!

We have the first abandon of the race.
