Tour de Romandie Scores

Right guys here are the scores for the Prologue

quite a mixed bag, but still all to play for

TERatcliffe26 - 69
Thefatcyclist - 20
Chrisdstripes - 40
Lucas - 27
Wig_Billy - 46
Macauley Ley - 59
JAndrewHill - 93
Gkam84 - 26
bubby016 - 15
Veseunr - 19
The Terrible Tourists - 50
Debarrio - 32
Montana Carrot - 0
Livestrongnick - 52
Stevespro79 - 19
Nickobec - 49
Drheaton - 1
Alan Tullett - 25
Frankiejay - 18
Carl Simpson - 15

So a great start for JAndrewHill, Nizzolo (44 points) being the big difference maker. others with scores around 50 tended to have rogers/wiggins/mollema/matthews in there somewhere. Talansky as well was a good choice with solid 10 points

Unfortunate day for Montana and Drheaton, but both have riders that can swing it back in there favour in the coming days.

Also as im scoring all riders in the race. The big missed pick from anyone for this stage was Cav (38 points. Vandewalle and vermote would have also been good picks with solid scores (26 and 27 points)

I was implying really that if I pick him, he'll end up in a ditch, but if I leave him out like I have done in the PN and TdR he'll ride a blinder and go on to win the whole thing

Once again my decision to not pick Wiggins is backfiring, same happened in the P-N.

The question is, do I pick him for the TdF and watch him crash out or leave him out of my team and watch him win?

Statistically he has raced in 4 TdF and crashed once ..... so only a 25% chance.

I reckon he has a live chance of winning .... especially if Cadel is creaking!

You on about as purist or normal? As when we have transfers its much less of a risk to pick someone. It also depends who else lines up. As for a purist manner id probably be tempted to go for Nibali.

Nice job, TER. It's kinda cool to see the picks we missed so we can learn for future races... Thanks!  1

I was very close to picking Tiralongo and Martinez (11th) was actually in my team before my final edit. Happy to be moving up after a poor first day!

Great work TER  4

Somehow I have managed to achieve a narrow lead thanks to all my stars scoring solidly (Wiggins, Mollema, Hesjedal and Rogers) and then Westra to top it off.

Big winners of course were Wiggins and Westra. No one rider swept up the mountains/sprint points, so no massive scores there for anyone, solid points between 5-20 for most. Gkam and Chrisdstripes have a great pick so far with Clement (shame Gkam didnt pick up Wiggins or Westra.) For todays stage Tiralongo in 3rd and Paterski in 5th were unpicked, apart from that no other big scorers.

Oh dear - the two guys that most people have but I don't get 1st and 2nd! The sprinters all dropped from the peleton, so Wiggins has a go and takes the sprint, Westra 2nd and Tiralongo 3rd. Van Garderen, Mollema, Evans and Kiryienka all up there in the top 20.

Congrats! Must admit that Nizzzolo wasn't on my radar at all. Well done!

Way to go !
I only picked Nozzy cos I wanted to be different and thought Westra might not be totallly suited to Romandie, and may have peaked already with his recent heavy schedule. . . and Nozzy was a bit different.  4  4  4
