I've taken the gamble of leaving out sagan and purito, meaning I get a whole squad of possible top 10's. fingers crossed:

That was my thinking too, and then at the last minute I took out Quintana for Denifl  13 Seems pretty stoopid now, my soft spot for IAM might be my undoing. Go Denifl! (Whoever you are...)

I got Valverde in as well but for Sagan......I think J-Rod may be playing down his chances as if he wasn't fit surely Katusha would have thrown Spilak in?

J-Rod
Valverde
Gilbert
Porte
Quintana
Cunego(running out of chances with me!!)
Fuglsang
Betancur
Weening

All 9 of my purists are riding as well  4

J-Rod,Henao,Weening,Betancur,Slagter,Gilbert,Cunego,Quintana,Moser

I wouldn't mind betting that Betancur or Weening are the most popular riders today.

Apologies, it must have been my fault when I was re-updating Trentino, however I don't know why it took so long

Did you manage to get in? It was fine for me at that time, and I wasn't running any updates

No worries TER! Bit tired now tho  3
Picked my Fleche team early, but then had 2 riders drop out (sod's law), hence trying to get back in last night.
Mainly gone with explosive climbers for the steep finish, rather than canny Dutch/Belgian guys that know the territory - could well be a mistake. Quintana was the one guy I think I might regret avoiding tho'...

Have a gut feeling today is going to go really badly, my Trentino team especially looks really poor! For Fleche...

Gilbert
Ulissi
Valverde
Henao
G Caruso
Anton
J Simon
Betancur
Denifl (random guess for the break...)

Is Sagan Racing and all who's on the riders list or do I need to look up the start list somewhere else? I was doing alright for a beginner till Amstel Gold then my luck ran out!

Yeah, looks like Sagan is racing now, I think they've updated the rider's list to latest info so you shouldn't need to check elsewhere...

It ran out for a lot of people Abbie so don't get disheartened......not easy to pick Kreuziger for the one stage per season when he justifies his 20+ credit rating......I can remember him winning a Giro D'Italia mountain stage last season after disappointing everybody(especially the Astana hierarchy who switched to Tiralongo as team leader halfway through))with his performance.

And as you can see by some of the teams posted the faith in him repeating is very thin on the ground!!

Yeah, I'm knackered, but might not have time tomorrow so need to wait it out. 2 greyed out for Fleche, and at least 4 transfers to make for Trentino!

Usual strife in picking a team. I basically have to self-brainwash everytime I umm and aah over dropping picks, in case I end up cursing myself: "dammit, I almost picked him!"

First draft for Fleche Wallonne has enough Colombians to storm Tony Montana's mansion. Might need a rethink.
