Well I've taken a peek at your team vs mine and I have Chavanel and Costa different I think but other than that the big name sprinters are mainly the same ....interesting indeed for the end results  1

There's a mistake with the standings. I had Von Hoff in my team, he's been the last man today but he doesn't have 10 points!!

You need to stop being so self-deprecating.

I went sprinty with both teams, didn't think it would be worth picking gc contenders in purist if the sprinters nail the first three stages...

Surely that's gonna depend on if your sprinters snaffle enough points to see you through the mountains which I can't see happening , hence I've gone down the sprint/puncheurs route with the majority of the team should be interesting to compare teams and placing at the end of the race  1

Yeah, will be interesting to compare at the end! My purist team came 9th on stage one so its a good start. Needs Kristoff to come to the party today tho.

I have a feeling the "mountains" are actually not really mountains at all, and that people like Degenkolb and Meersman might be in the reckoning for most of the stages. Plus to be honest if I was going to pick GC contenders there are just so many to choose from that I thought it was safer to pick sprinters. If it gets windy today/tomorrow it could totally backfire!

He shouldn't be allowed in TA if he already started an overlapping race, you're generally not allowed to start one then start another while the first is still running.

That is true however you can apply for dispensation, I know its happened before, he has withdrawn with stomach issues, so they could say he is over them by tuesday and apply for permission to race?

Anyone else gone for Thomas in Purist? Could be a bargain at 14.5 after Porte transferred out of the race.
