I think you tried to copy my team
see above 
Mark CAVENDISH THR 38.0 PC
Christopher SUTTON SKY 16.9 PC
Edvald BOASSON HAGEN SKY 38.2 AR
Philippe GILBERT OLO 39.9 AR
John DEGENKOLB THR 9.3 DS
Christopher FROOME SKY 11.2 DS
Denis GALIMZYANOV KAT 7.1 DS
Marcel KITTEL SKS 3.3 DS
Geraint THOMAS SKY 13.8 DS
assuming cav wins the gb squad could be leading him out
friets ein pils jonges - look no futher than them lowland folks its phil lars and greg for me
I'd have the Sagan, Cav, Rojas, EBH, Gilbert and Kittel part But i'd have O'Grady, Bennati and Millar
Thats if i had unlimited credits, because that team comes in at 225, if i had my pre Giro balance i could afford them all
Thats pretty much the team i wanted originally Stewie, except i wanted Bennati/Gavazzi rather than Goss and would have put someone like boom or Da Costa rather than both Norwegians
People I actually want:
Sagan, Cav, Rojas, Goss, EBH, Thor, PhilGil, GT, Kittel
I don't even want to add up how many credits that is. Current team:
Jose Joaquin ROJAS GIL
Edvald BOASSON HAGEN
Philippe GILBERT
Peter SAGAN
Matthew BRAMMEIER
Rui Alberto FARIA DA COSTA
Mathew HAYMAN
Marcel KITTEL
Geraint THOMAS
This is likely to change again. Brammeier, Hayman and Faria are semi-random cheap DS picks. Do you tend to get DS breakaways in a world champ RR?
Lost the courage of my convictions about Rojas, sorry JJ...

Martin KOHLER BMC 4.0 DS
Gabriel RASCH GRM 4.0 DS
(yes, I think I favour a sprinter...)
AARRRGGGHHHH! This is a tricky one indeed!
Currently have 4 DS sprinters, 1 DS all-rounder, 3 AR, and one pure SP. Definitely not happy with the lineup yet though!
all 3
goss or hushovd or boassen hagen
You can put however many you want of any type for the Worlds.
how do you put more than two all rounders on a team????
As it stands currently anyway

That was bloody hard
Going for the GB squad...last race and all that....
go_gb_and_a_gilb.jpg
2 that are classed as sprinters but would say 2/3 of my DS's are also sprinters
5 sprinters for me!
Its technically know as "putting all your eggs in one basket".
Edit: I have replaced one of my eggs with a certain Beglian.
only one sprinter for me
Gone for 4 sprinters 1 AR and 4 DS.
Not a bad little group, doubt i will get anywhere near the top but it's part of the fun
Rojas and Thomas or Thor and Gallopin are my choices i think as i dont think my plan for gavazzi should be entertained rather than either Rojas or Gallopin should be entertained
I've not even started
I have a good feeling about Rojas... but do I drop Hushovd, Cavendish, Gilbert or Sagan? This no restrictions game is fun.
No restrictions is fun, but its a hell of a lot more difficult to pick my team now because i can have any amount of any category its making my life harder, lol
I think the norwegians are gonna own this one..
Says the norwegian..
I have 4 set in stone and then again, they might be made of jelly, lol
I don't have a scooby, apart from Mr Latvia and also Mr Turkey
6 sprinters
1 all rounder
2 domestiques
haha yup
ive got two choices of team, 6 riders set in stone, but then the other 3 are different in the two teams
yh so did my ideal 9 too, so ive got 4 you could class as sprinters, 4 guys who could do something on there own, and a guy who you could class as more of a GC type.
My only gripe is im missing out on being able to afford one of two guys i would like from a certain european country that could do well in this race
