It's funny how people mention people not in their team and the rider they were talking about gets big points. Nickobec said in an earlier post something about De la Fuente and he goes and scores him points in a breakaway. I have done something like that in the Paris-Nice prologue where TER said he had an ace. I scanned through the riders and found a certain sweedish rider by the name of Larsson and asked if his "ace" was of this nationality. He replied no but Larsson went on to win and gain big points.

To be fair Alan did want de la fuente, but he is not in the database (for some reason) so we dont have a price for him

Having said all that the 3 big points scorers in my team for the stage yesterday are 3 of the 5 riders i hadn't change from when i drew up my original team. But at some point had another who scored big, just decided not to pick him in the end. Was just saying its frustrating when you do that

Yeh my ace bombed at paris nice if i remember correctly.

You all still have riders that are definitely not riding

Others that have not been on since first posting may still have non-startes, however I have not spotted any others

Haha! I didn't even look at the profiles, but according to Cycling News there's a 145k time trial on the last stage... Hopefully blind luck will kick in and I'll do ok, figured with Euskatel being based in the Basque Country the route would be pretty hilly  4

EDIT: Dissapointingly it's only an 18.9km ITT, not 145km  2 That would have been a laugh, a four hour long TT would really shake things up.

I think it is pretty hilly, and Livestrongnick I know theres is wrong, been using the one on the offical site and cycling fever which are both correct.

That would have been interesting!

Rojas takes the bunch sprint from Poels and Wegmann, followed by Ratto, Vichot, Hesjedal, Meersman, Izagirre. Luke Rowe around 12th I think.
