Tour of Poland

Starts on Tuesday - Profile looks not a million miles away from Tour of California minus TT (first 4 stages could all be sprint finishes but a couple do have hills, 5 is craggy, 6 is a brute, 7 short and flat). I just picked my team and had 43.4 credits left over! Who's going for this? Or is it just an unwelcome distraction?

I raked in a spectacular 11 points today. Finally, my form from the Spring Classics has returned! 4

I thought Tiralongo had nabbed some mountain points, but my Polish must be rusty because he got nothin' in the game. 37

Help! I missed the start of the race due to being on holiday. I seem to be exempt now from scoring anything. Can anyone help?

nope you are correct, it did say tiralongo, however whoever was doing the live ticker doesnt know who is who, and it actually ended up not be tiralongo

Bother! Had Moser in, but at the last minute swapped him out for Huzarski thinking he might do something in the break! Got Kwiatowski & Bakelandts so not all bad I guess.

Am I being stupid or is the STage 1 profile wrong?? THe overall profile shows the finish after the descent of the climb, but the finishing 3km profile shows the last 3km along the jagged top of the climb? Totally different types of finishes??

It will be 5,4,3,2,1 points awarded

Points are awarded based on teh number of scorers, so if 5 riders score its as abovem, if two score it would be 2,1

Yeah the points above were just the race scores, not the game scores.

Tell you what, the commentary on the ToP hasn't been great, they don't even know who's who 39

I couldn't decide between proper hilly riders and sprinters who can climb a bit, so I've split my team up - sprinty stars and hilly domestiques.

Haussler
Boonen
Bennati
Degenkolb

Nocentini
Nordhaug
Moser
Huzarski
Niemiec

I've gone for these, no idea what to expect really but I can't imagine there would be so many sprinters there if they weren't going for stage wins. So were rider classifications different last year then? This is my first year and I'm really enjoying it, but nothing to compare it to!

Degenkolb
Ciolek
Modolo
Swift (like Chavanel, I can't resist picking him if he's riding)
Majka
Golas
Serebriakov
Kristoff
Gavazzi
Hmm - 40.4 credits left over, can I use them in the TdF? 3

I'm going purist again, I don't know what it is about this season, but there is no fun left in playing the game for me. Last year it was fun, this year, not in the slightest and I think that may have come across in some of my posts.

It was Ballan or Ventoso

Roman Kreuziger (AST)
Fransisco Jose Ventoso (MOV)
Heinrich Haussler (GRM)
Sergio Luis Henao (SKY)
Domenico Pozzovivo (COG)
Michal Golas (OPQ)
Paolo Tiralongo (AST)
Rinaldo Nocentini (ALM)
Marek Rutkiewicz (POL)

Bit too easy now you can pick so many stars of a certain type. Thinking this might be my last year at it as well! At most going to play this purist.

Perhaps it's just a case of overkill, I've found that a little this year, didn't enjoy the CdD, TdS or ToC, all three were just a race too much at the time, especially having a week long race at the same time as the grand tours (Giro/ToC and TdF/TdP). I wonder if stretching the fantasy season to start with the TDU, ToQ and ToO was too much and I'm just burnt out. I might take it easy next year (a'la the riders aiming to peak at the tour) and only get started just before the Giro.
