Enrique, thank you for the scores. You gave me happy news. I entered my 3 Spanish guys just to see whether 3 good riders, designated leaders in their teams (S Sanchez, Navarro and Pardilla), can make more points in this race than J Rod alone. After stage 6 my lads finally turned the tables on him, and they lead him 54 to 53.  36 Obviously, J Rod hit back in stage 7, but it's far from over... Anyway, as of right now, I'm glad I didn't think to have my brave lads measure themselves against Valverde...

I think we all know who won!  1

But who would have been the 2nd best team? And scored only three points less than JAndrewHill?...  39 Well, it would have been Contador, LL Sanchez and Mas!  4 But nobody picked them...  2

And it keeps getting better! And better! And better for you! How much better can it get? If Valverde stays with the others in all the next stages, it's too hard to imagine that someone will overtake him! Unbelievable! I thought choosing Valverde was a foolish propositon at first, now, well you're a Pick3 Spaniards Fantasy Cycling God!  1 He may be uncatchable! Nice job!  1

I just seem to be better/luckier at this game than the real one.
After all I got lucky with the tdf too.

Yah, you're all in.

BTW, Jonas Lorenzen - you've got until noon TOMORROW to swap out one of your team for another, otherwise I'll drop Purito for Mas on your behalf  4

EDIT: I've put in Aramendia for Purito, who is the most expensive player that can fit in.

Incidentally, so far I think Gmancervelo has entered the best team...  26

Then maybe Twybados? I reckon Landa will do well (though I still haven't included him in my Purist  39 )

I may also add in a 'Tribute to Gkam' team of the three cheapest Spanish riders - I think that's Fernandez, Mas and Reynes.

The value on your 3 Spaniards is 59 credits. Total value must be less than 50.

My three Spaniards are;

Daniel Moreno - 25.8
Luis Leon Sanchez - 10.4
Daniel Navarro - 13.6

Pardilla

I'm just curious to see whether they will manage to make more points together than Purito alone...
