Tour de Romandie

Right to give everyone time to plan, the tour de romandie takes place after the last classics race from 24th to 29th april.

Profiles and startlist (provisional) are up on cycling fever.

Should be good as some Giro participlants will probably be getting a run out.

If people could just let me know if they are gonna be putting in a team so i can prepare the spreadsheet.

Lucas was interested in which riders scored the most points overall, to see who was the best rider, and was there anyone who scored highly that non of us picked. so if i can im gonna try and keep scores for all riders that take part (however it my be too time consuming but i will try)

If you're new please join in and if you have questions pop them below and the forum regulars will answer as best we can.

Tejay van Garderen (BMC)
Bradley Wiggins (SKY)
Luis Leon Sanchez (RAB)
Michael Matthews (RAB)
Luke Durbridge (GRE)
Jonathan Castroviejo (MOV)
Gianni Meersman (LOT)
Richie Porte (SKY)
Alex Rasmussen (GRM)

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 seen this but not enough time to put a team together being at work and all  26

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

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?

Right, how do I sign up for this. Where do I find the values of each rider?

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.

Just discovered Kessiakoff has an allergy problem so made a change.

Hi Alan, Talansky is 0.8 cheaper than you have him if that helps?
