San Sebastian tomorrow (Tues)

This has come round quick. Has anyone seen a final startlist? There are some disrepancies between the one on Cycling Fever and the current list of available riders in the fantasy game (eg Cycling Fever lists Lulu Sanchez and Diego Ulissi, but not Contador - there may be others).

So Contador? Valverde? Vinokourov? Gerrans/Albasini? Rodriguez/Moreno? I've never watched it before so really looking forward to seeing how a one-day classic with some proper hills pans out.

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.

Intersting choices GKam of Gesink and Sammy Sanchez. Thought about both but figured Gesink would be so demoralised from his performance at the TdF he'd not doing anything for the rest of the season and Sanchez will probably just be trying to get the racing miles in, not competing.

Fingers crossed that's how it plays out otherwise I've missed out  2

This is one of those races where the big scorers will all be stars so it's difficult to put a decent team together, I could have probably picked 5 or 6 stars, stayed on budget and had a more rounded team.

Yep - I had Moser and Marcato so they're out. Fully fettled now tho' - 3 Spaniards, 3 Italians, 2 Columbians and a Frenchman. Not managed to fit in anyone from Euskatel which I'm a bit unsure about...

Ok, so one of my riders HAD a Metacarpal Fracture, sustained on the 8th July  26

The medical advice

Quote:

What Is the Treatment of a Metacarpal Fracture?

Treatment of a metacarpal fracture can usually be accomplished with the use of a cast. A cast is usually worn for about 6 weeks, followed by gentle motion exercises.

Will a professional cyclist recover any quicker and be able to use his cockpit in just over 5 weeks?  39

I don't have my regular's in, only 2/3 are riding the SS and I haven't picked one. That may change later, just checking on the health of one of my riders and then finishing my team  3

This is another one of those races where I'd prefer to be able to pick more stars, most of mine are relatively cheap and I could easily afford to pick up Zubeldia or Henao as a 5th star within budget  2

Awesome, thanks all. Picked my team but might check back tonight in case the startlists change further...

Currently looks like no Contador after all. Tired after yesterday, or playing his cards close to his chest until the Vuelta?  39

Thank you Simon

All the other stages have 'loaded automatically'; why the change?

Dunno, I only play the game - I don't work here. I'd guess that since the Eneco only finished yesterday, the default competition to be displayed hasn't been changed yet.

Is the CSS a premium race (I'm not a premium player)? Had an email saying the start list was up, came to pick my team but stage header still on final Eneco Tour stage.

The Olympic TT was like this, and the only way I could 'load' the TT stage was to click on stages and click through that way.

It's not premium but you will need to select it from the competitions dropdown list before you try to pick a team.

Will there be any mountain and/or sprint points as this race has classifications for them or will it just be the normal one day race scoring?
