I've got 4 of Wig_Billy's in my standard but then Nibali,Montaguti,Reda,Pozzovivo and Cunego in place of those asterisked
Purists are Belletti,Valverde,Blythe,Cummings,Cunego,Niemiec,Gadret with Gasparotto plus Sagan not riding.
It'll be interesting to see how it pans out and just how seriously 'His Nibs' rides.

Done. 6 Italians, 2 Colombians and 1 Spaniard.
Is Bontempi still riding?
2.9km hellova sprint
TDF had a 1 kilometre prologue in 1988.
Hell, if that had been more recent, it would almost have been worth signing up Chris Hoy and grabbing the maillot jaune for the day
Agree with livestrongnick about Roma Maxima history, but what about a 2.9km prologue as per Paris-Nice. any history on that one?
Toss up between sprinters and prologue specialists. I have a secret weapon up my sleeve...
i did have the winner in my team - Jimmy Engoulvent - but now he is not riding. I would give you a tip on where to look for the best info on the most recent short prologue but that would be telling
gone with the little boys. hoping for a breakaway and then a level crossing gets stuck and holds up the peleton. haven't had a rider in a break yet!
Gone with the AR guys in form. Hoping it's not a sprint!
Team picked
didn't like that
bloody hard picking for a race with practically no resent history to research.
Gone with the big boys
oops. thanks. should've gone to specsavers
Sagan has gone grey. procycling stats have him in. help!
No they have the other Sagan Juraj
ah bollocks made my transfers early and just checked to find half my bloody team aren't racing
Cost me 20 points to put in a couple of decent riders to take their places, not a happy bunny
Oh poot. Having checked Nibali's Twitter feed, and Astana's website I was hoping he'd win and I could be smug. Now you're spoiling it by telling everyone. Darn it to heck, I can't even sneak an advantage.
Put him in Ter, I'm just about to do the startlist now and his will be on there.
I WILL be using this startlist
http://www.procyclingstats.com/race/118167022-Roma-Maxima-2013-Startlist
Because I know a couple of rider have pulled out and it seems most upto date
Concerned about putting Lagutin in my team, he is greyed out on the game but on the startlist, as i need to do my changes in the next hour
Italy being my favourite country and Rome the ultimate place i should really be doing better in these races. Lets hope i can redeem myself in this one and wear the spqr badge with pride
Thanks was just wondering
Does anyone know about Nibali for roma maxima He is not on the fantasy list bit is on the pro cycle stats startlist.
He wasn't on the startlist released by organisers a few days ago and he wasn't mentioned in article about the race on official site yesterday.

the pick one team for all the races thing I missed that meeting, so a lot of my picks are redundant now, I will need to pay more attention, but it is difficult if not logging in all the time etc. Maybe there is an argument for not including 1 day races only a day apart in Purist leagues.
Thanks robdayking, most helpful
oops missed Damiano Cunego
if it helps anyone, here are the riders declared to be riding all 3 of the Itailan classics based on Cycling fever's startlists and lots of spreadsheet hacking. Any errors I apologise for...

Proper racing
as I have now posted elsewhere, I'm with you ray silvester. Those who don't hang out here all the time need to speak up.
My understanding is that you pick one team for all three of Le Samyn, Strade Bianchi and Roma Maxima and that's it.
No transfers at all between the three.
Personally I think I might pick a team for Strade/Roma and largely ignore Samyn. Only problem though is that I'd have to pick my team before Samyn without knowing the full and final startlists for the others.
