USA Pro stage 1

My team

Rafal Majka (TSB)
Tejay Van Garderen (BMC)
Thomas Danielson (GRS)
Jens Voigt (TFR)
Leopold Konig (TNE)
Graham Briggs (RCJ)
Hugh Carthy (RCJ)
Patrick Konrad (TNE)
Jure Kocjan (TSS)

Decided to go for Jens in his last race, he's gonna go one day.

The main protagonists as it was too hard to call stage 1, but stage 2 and 3 should be GCers. Then a few youngsters who look like value and have got a few results.

If you're new please join in and if you have questions pop them below and the forum regulars will answer as best we can.

It was good for me, in that I didn't bother with sprinters and most of my gc picks were in the lead group, and I had Jacques-maynes. However it's probably the first race reijnen has been in where I haven't picked him. Should be set up well for today tho...

Hmmm... You know you aren't too good at picking for a race when your purist significantly outscores your standard on day one! Still, had Reijnen in both, so not all doom and gloom.

Results seem abit of a mess on the official site, as they have Formolo and Kiserlovski as riding. 100% certain Kiserlovski isn't riding and pretty certain neither is formolo, seems they have just subbed in the riders from the provisional list into there results. Oh and Beltran is in the results twice

Anyway scores going up as I don't think there results affect what we score and are correct as far as they go

The race itself is set to start at 2:40 PM MT, which would be 9:40pm London time, I think... About 2 hours and 20 minutes from now...

I thought that it might be a sprint so had what i think are the 2 fastest(Viv and JayCee) in the race plus GC guys and Cycling News special recommendations

STANDARD
Viviani and Cantwell the sprinters

Carthy,Kocjan and Rosskopf the CN picks

Tejay,Magicman,RickyZee,LionKing the GC guys

PURIST
Viv,Rosskopf,Magicman,Tejay,Kocjan,LionKing,Carthy,Busche,Huzarski

Didn't really research any of the 'Board and Planks' other than the aforementioned CN 10 to watch article

Rosskopf
Kocjan
Van Garderen
Rogers
Putt
House
Konig
Jones (Carter)
Voigt

Stage 1 is very hard to call. Was a reduced field sprint last year where Sagan beat Van Avermaet. My team:
Reijnen
Danielson
Voigt
De La Cruz
Kocjan
Jones (Carter)
Euser
Van Garderen
Cantwell (a bit a gamble, but only 6.7 pts)
