Whats you team looking like?

Thanks Simon, I just went back on and it worked fine, I must have had something else restricting the selection such as funds or members of a single team.

No doubt I'll go back and change it a few times before they get going...

You can have any 4 star riders, whatever their roles, and any 5 domestiques. Budget is the only limitation.

(edit) but no more than two out of your 9 from the same team

I've not played before (- never played any fantasy sports game before) so I may have got the wrong end of the stick, but it seems that I need to have 1 each of the star roles - GC, KM, PC, AR. However, I'm not sure I could find a single GC rider on the TDU start list? I wanted EBH and Simon Gerrans, but they are both listed as AR, so I can only pick one of them, while the GC rider (whichever one I pick) isn't racing.

Or have I got this all wrong?

Not saying my team but hell it's the same as everyone elses!

You've missed that crying emotocon huh Gkam? But don't worry, I'm sure you'll be using it a lot again this season!

I'm unsure about one star rider & one domestique but apart from that, my team's sorted.

I've gone for:

EBH
Goss
Renshaw
Henderson
Bobridge
Sutton
Hondo
Belletti
Bauer

But it's gonna change as it doesn't feel right.

I know my team, and I don't require any 'feedback' from the forum.

At the moment

EBH
Rojas
Roy/Huntarovich
Van Hummel

Belleti
Reynes
Erviti
Agostini
Machado

In a word, Australian. It probably won't stay that way though.

EBH
Goss
GvA
Haussler

CJ Sutton
Matt Brammeier
Cam Meyer
Jack Bauer
Adam Hansen

Likely to be different again by tomorrow.

we've amended some of the stage listings. stage 1 was MM but although it's uphill all the way there aren't any big climbs, so now it's FL...

there are profiles on the santos site http://www.tourdownunder.com.au/down-under-classic-and-stages-1-6.htm
and it looks a little lumpy . . .but usually flat for the last few km, so ideal for ebh

at the moment it's :-
Edvald Boasson Hagen (SKY)
Andre Greipel (LOT)
Simon Gerrans (GRE)
Ryder Hesjedal (GRM)
Domestiques
Cameron Meyer (GRE)
Christopher Sutton (SKY)
Jesse Sergent (RSN)
Jack Bauer (GRM)
Matthew Lloyd (LAM)

but i am on the lookout for more aussies . . .

The route describes itself as medium mountains ? It's on the coastal regions of Australia so me thinks it may well be quite flat apart from the occasional rises.

As such i've gone for a mainly sprinter line up with the likes of OBH in my line up just in case there are any big lump's to deal with.

The others are all likely contenders for the stages so their teams are more than likely going to try and get them over any lumps still in contact with any leading group.
