The purist TDF thread (2014)

The place to share your purist team and discuss how it's getting on so far. With Cav, Froome & the good value Modolo all out, I'm guessing a few have already taken a hit, while those with Nibali & Sagan are sitting pretty.

FWIW, my team:

Sagan
Kittel
Machado
Bardet
Yates
Pinot
Izaguirre
Oliviera
Kruijswijk

I've lost Froome but still got all the rest so fingers crossed my others will do all right. Without a main GC man though i cant see me getting anywhere near the top end.

Andrew Talansky
Tom Dumoulin
Jurgen Van Den Broeck
Christopher Froome - gone home poorly  20
Marcel Kittel
Simon Yates
Rein Taaramae
Giovanni Visconti
Jurgen Roelandts

Froome out leaves me

Kittel
Bardet
Sagan
Costa

and some filling

Visconti
Vachon
Oliviera
Taaramae

Currently hovering just outside the top 100, The leaders mostly appear to have Nibali, and if he stays in Yellow for the next week as appears reasonably possible, it is going to be difficult for me to make up much ground.

I thought as I am rubbish at Purist that I would stage hunt.

Appears I am now stage hunting for the Lanterne Rouge.

It wasn't a bad idea and it had occurred to me too as a possibility, but with the sprint stages frontloaded, it seemed most people would have their teams crammed with sprinters at the start anyway.

Being as though i thought id made a mistake with Boom, I think in the end my purist team will end up ok apart from the lose of Modolo

Contador
Bardet
JVDB
Sagan
Boom
Visconti
Voeckler
Bideau
(Modolo)

Having looked at the teams ahead of me in the forum, I could/should gain ground back with the combo of Bardet/Contador/JVDB, and if Boom could get in a break or too as well, ive got a decent chance of doing well.
