Multiple accounts?

I went from 5th to shared 11th place on that last stage. Annoying

Thanks, nick... My brain is a little tired, so I may be a little off today, but here's the 'Best Purist Team Possible' for the Giro del Trentino. I may be a 3.0 rider away from perfection this time, though, since there were 28 (!) 3.0 riders who scored in this competition! Most I've ever (!) seen in a competition, not including some of the Forum Based ones from last year! We have a record that'll be hard to beat!

As a first pass, here's my take on what could be the 'Best Purist Team Possible' for the 2015 Giro del Trentino:

31.4 Richie Porte
16.9 Leopold Konig
16.5 Mikel Landa
12.0 Jose Joao Pimenta Costa Mendes
20.0 Dario Cataldo
9.9 Damiano Cunego
19.1 Rodolfo Andres Torres
10.8 Paolo Tiralongo

648 Points
136.6 credits

Notice no Pozzovivo.

The team you posted, nick, was really (!) good! Only 56 or so points from 'perfection'! In fact, I can't remember this (!) happening before!, but the Purist team you posted actaully beat the 'Best Standrad Team'by 2 points! without (!) making a single transfer!

In a rarity, and probably due to the lack of heavy hitters and the short duration of the Giro del Trentino, this team would have landed No. 1 (!) in the Standard compeitition, with no transfers done whatsoever.

But (!) was this team possible? No. Tiralongo in there, would have made it 3 Astana riders on that team. So, who's 2nd best? Well, here's the 'Best Purist Team Possible' for the 2015 Giro del Trentino, honoring the 2 rider per team rule!

31.4 Richie Porte
16.9 Leopold Konig
16.5 Mikel Landa
12.0 Jose Joao Pimenta Costa Mendes
20.0 Dario Cataldo
9.9 Damiano Cunego
19.1 Rodolfo Andres Torres
6.9 David Arroyo

644 points
132.7 credits

This team comes in only 4 point under the previous one, but honors the 2 rider per team rule... Obvioulsy, as with the other team, it would have come in No. 1 in the Standard compeititon, without making a single transfer. And, It shares 5 riders with the 'Best Actual Purist Team'.

Anyways, nice job by Team Traak in the Purist Competiton and congratulations to The Slayers (The Slayer) for winning the Standard competition and my condolences to _Kasper for his drop in the Purist competition and to my buddy STEVESPRO who was looking really good for the podium in the Standard competiton. And here's looking forward to an exciting Giro competition!
