TDU stage 2.
I nearly went for the German from giant shimano, but finally plumped for an fdj winner of a stage in a grand tour 2013

May not change anything for stage 3....meaning i can get 2 extra sprinters in for stage 4 and get them back out again for WillHill and then 4 transfers for the big sprint stage at the end.
Although Thomas worries me
Happy with that....first 5 on the stage,5 of the top 10 in GC,all 5 in the sprints competition,3rd in KOM led to 183pts and 16th on the stage(39th overall)....plus my first FSUCI ranking point for 3rd in the Forum's Scorum's.

Well done mate
i took a 20 point penalty but still ended up with 135 points so happy with that.
Sooo glad I put Gavazzi in. The Italians are doing me a lot of favours so far.
it seems I am missing a lantern rouge for my standard team
Also do we have seperate badges for our standard and purist teams now as well?
Yes we do have separate badges for each team.
But the comment on the purist badges (when you won it) refers to when you won the standard badge.
I've won bugger all on Pursit team but it says I won puncheur on Stage 2 TDU, which I won with Ulissi on my standard team. With Rojas in my purist, this is not a situation which is likely to change.
not what i can see in the db - you won a sprinter's badge on stage 1 for your purist team and you have three (inc puncheur) for your standard. is that not what you're seeing?
Yup - looks that way - although the chances of me ever seeing a purist badge appear slight.
By the way, on badges I should theoretically have earned a bookend badge - but is it not applicable to this competition? Or am I missing something on the badges bit.
If I don't get it I shall weep copious tears as it's unlikely to happen again...
Hello. I have never heard of Campbell Flakemore. Does this make me a bad person?
neither had I till I'd picked him as a cheap filler for my team!
More pts for me for Clarke. Ellisonde.was not so inspired...
1,2,9,15,19 for me (plus a smattering of breakaway points). I traded out Gavazzi before stage one and haven't brought him back, which is probably a mistake. Still probably won't make any transfers for S3, save them for later.
Podium badge for my purist
sprint 2
W.Clarke 6,Flakemore 4,B.Van Poppel 2 fantasy pts
that's the last of the breakaway pts
Flakemore's in my squad for this stage. Seems like a very, very long time ago that I last picked a rider in a small escape.
Looks like Hansen might've bagged me a couple of points too. They all count!
