Couldn't make up my mind, Rolland or Roy and Froome or Kreuziger still unsure of my picks, but there we go
I also notice, no-one picking Cav
hhhmmm, Gkam picked Rolland like I have, so he's bound to score zero points - too tired after l-b-l - so I wishi could bring Daddy Mark in instead, buti am full of sky riders. . . shame
After doing a bit of research ;), I've decided to make a couple of late changes.
De Gendt out, Matthews in,
Kelderman out, Meersman in.
Which leaves;
Tejay van Garderen (BMC)
Bradley Wiggins (SKY)
Luis Leon Sanchez (RAB)
Michael Matthews (RAB)
Luke Durbridge (GRE)
Jonathan Castroviejo (MOV)
Gianni Meersman (LOT)

Bauke Mollema (RAB) 36.8
Ryder Hejsedal (GRM) 27.4
Michael Rogers (SKY) 14.5
Lieuwe Westra (VCD) 8.4
Gianni Meersman (LOT) 7.3
Sylvester Szmyd (LIQ) 7.0
Simon Spilak (KAT) 5.7
Arthur Vichot (FDJ) 4.1
is my final team (took out de gendt, sabatini and machado and put in Hejsedal, rogers and vichot)
Also after acanning through everyones teams
Thefatcyclist - you have Cunego, Gasparotto and Iglinsky all not riding in your team
Lucas - Stijn Neirynck is not riding from your team
Carl Simpson - you have Cunego and Iglinsky not riding for your team
All other teams seem fine unless there has been any last minute changes I haven't spotted
Good luck guys
Just another heads up, todays points will be finish line points, GC points and Young rider (if there is one) so sprint/points comp or mountain points today
Nice work TER...Good luck everyone....
Just seen this but not enough time to put a team together being at work and all
Really interested to see how the Sky team ride together along with Wiggo and Cav and their tactics.
I think it'll be practice for Sky only, Froome or Wiggins might get a run out in the GC but they probably won't be targeting it. Cav will just be looking for racing miles in his legs ahead of the Giro which I think he will be racing and looking for a few stage wins.
Most interesting for me will be whether Froome gets the nod as main rider for the GC at the Giro and I think this week may go a long way to deciding that.
drehaton is correct, focus at Sky is on the GC side of things, Cav said on Friday he was doing it to get some racing ahead of the Giro.
I knew Cav was just there to get some mountain miles in his legs, GT seems to be doing well in the TT so far, but alot of big guys still left to ride
BTW its live on Eurosport just now
I'm watching on the web at the mo. Upgraded my Virgin package today to have it on TV from 1st May.
Castroviejo outside the top 20. Won it last year. Rain affecting things so don't think the top will change a lot now. Be interesting to see how many risks Wiggins will take.
yh great ride from Cav (not watching, keep popping out the lab to check the times) I have Rogers and Mollema in the top 10 at the moment....Unsure on who has been out. I know Spilak must be about 20th, Hesjedal was a poor time.
Guessing Wiggins is yet to go?
LL Sanchez 29th!!
We're upto Richie Porte, don't think there are many left to go out, But i'd say GT to win and Cav will stay 3rd
GT
Nizzolo
Cav
Rogers
Vandewalle
Vermote
Mollema
Clement
Boaro
Rasmussen
Wiggo
Matthews
Talansky
Velits
Kelderman
Kwiatkowski
Navardauskas
Wynants
Dubridge
Larsson
Thats your top 20, I got 17th, thats it, lol
Just pick a team as you would for any other race (we use the same values), bare in mind this is done as a purist comp. then post the team in this thread by tuesday morning and I will put your team in the spreadsheet.
And I will post the scores daily on a separate thread.
Hi Alan, Talansky is 0.8 cheaper than you have him if that helps?
No Valverde
No Cunego or Gasparotto
No Bole or Gerdemann now
You could always have Roy, now that i've shunned him, he'll gone and win the GC
