First time ever that I have a TT team without Tony Martin...Not good but I could not bring myself to dump riders that have looked good the last few days...

SPILAK
BETANCUR
KELDERMAN
RUI COSTA
WYSS (M)
TUFT
LARSSON
TALANSKY
BRAVO...

Took a twenty point hit and gambled. Need big days from Rui Costa, Martin, Kelderman and a couple of others to pay off.

Grabsch first off at 11:13GMT. Froome goes at 13:40GMT.

Also being 7th in the purist and looked at thinking could I get above the few guys in front of me, with the riders Talansky, Froome, Spilak and Betancur, but nope Obutterwick is 8 points ahead but has the same riders as well as Rui Costa and Dennis

Basically I need Rui Costa to have a nightmare for both my teams sakes

Well I didn't know what to do and didn't want to loose any points and make penalty transfers, I nearly did but was 0.4 credits from affording Burghardt to make it worth while. So only 7 riders for me

Pinot
Porte
Martin
Malori
Kelderman
Betancur
Dennis

I have incurred no penalty points, but it meant leaving out Tony Martin. If it weren't for my terrible record in TTs recently, I'd still be fairly happy with my team...

Froome
Kelderman
Rui Costa
Brajkovic
Boaro
Tuft
M Wyss
Ludvigsson
Goos

Don't know anything about Goos except that he's young, so I'm hoping he turns out to be a bit of a TT specialist...

froome
danielson
porte
da costa
