Vuelta stage 1
All tinkering done, not going to touch it again until after the stage. Promise.
It was a tricky pick this one so as not to have to make a million changes this week.
Suffice it to say I've got 3 Europcar, 3 MTN and 3 Caja Rural riders in for the TTT.

Samuel Sanchez (BMC)
Fabio Felline (TFR)
Manuel Quinziato (BMC)
Yaroslav Popovych (TFR)
Michael Matthews (OGE)
Tony Martin (OPQ)
Tom Boonen (OPQ)

Half an eye on tomorrow. 3 changes probably (famous last words).
Looking at some of the pictures, I would only ditch Jungels, the rest look alright, but might be weary round the course and go a little slower
I'm tempted to get rid of my Trekkies
Yeah all went down, if you have Jungels, I'd get rid quick
"Some bad news coming from #LaVuelta: during the warm-up all 9 riders went down exiting one of the many roundabouts.
#LaVuelta Worst off is @BobJungels, but everyone will be able to start! Crashing is an unfortunate part of racing, but we love racing!"
An unfortunate part of racing, yes, but you guys were warming up...numpties
I have two teams going for the purist prize as I'll be in Ireland alot during the race, so won't be making changes
Looks like all 9 Trek riders went down on a roundabout whilst checking out the course.
There, my team is done and dusted. By this time tomorrow, I presume it will be truly done and dusted
I can see you're not doing so well this season.
My team.
Nairo Alexander Quintana (MOV)
Christopher Froome (SKY)
Thibaut Pinot (FDJ)
David Arroyo (CJR)
Lluis Guillermo Mas (CJR)
Johan Esteban Chaves (OGE)
Przemyslaw Niemiec (LAM)
Merhawi Kudus (MTQ)
Johann Tschopp (IAM)
Double
2 Astana, 2 Orica, 2 Trek, 2 OPQS 1 Sky. My biggest mistake at the Giro was not competing for the TTT properly and compromising my sprinters on stage 2 for weak sprinters in teams which would place top 10 on TTT (Fran Ventoso, I'm looking at you).
That mistake will not happen again, bring the penalties for tomorrow,
Haha, 3 of each......hmmmmmm
