No Hopers

After a relatively poor Giro…I was thinking how difficult (or easy) would it be to pick a team of “no-hopers”
e.g. for the Tour de France pick a purist team that that scores the fewest points
But you have to use up all of the available credit (or leave less than 5)
(no 3.0 riders throughout!)

I've updated the scores...
But there are several riders who I don't have a final score for.. as they withdrew during the race and don't appear on the rider rankings page.
Dave/ Anyone - can you give me final scores for:
G v Avermaet
M Renshaw
S Bennett
J Arredondo
J Coppel
E Sepulveda
S Langeveld

... but it very much looks like Rcorbin has won!  41

Attached are the final standings
(But I know some rider scores are too low - in red
They withdrew from the tour and I cannot get a final score for them on the game pages)

Anyway congratulations to Rcorbin

Not that it makes a deal of difference JC. But Durasek ended on 48pts giving me 161. And Renshaw on 63pts(got his last 4 in Stage13) leaving cgipryan also on 161.

Agree, thanks JC. I had a lot more interest in the breakaways than I would normally.

5 points scored today, but only a teammate bonus, so cant complain too much, teammate bonuses are inevitable tbh

Can we get an update?

I really wanted to pick Bouhanni with the expectation of him abandoning by the time a stage he could go for came up but didn't have the nerve. That would have taken care of a fair chunk of the budget.

Looks like i'm on 27 points already. Should not have chosen Gesink by the looks of things.

Damn, had a decent start but today Westra's in the break, wonder if it will make the sprint.
I was hoping he'd get absorbed by domestique life this year.

Seems a tad cruel when the first points that you score in a `Lets pick a shite team Comp`, are for last man home.....10 points for being really shite..... Thanks Mr.Langeveld, you useless piece of crap....  102

That's why I kept clear of the Cofidis boys, they are bound to hit the breakaways almost every day...

Wow I've taken an absolutely pasting these last few days- could get worse in the mountains too.

At least there's a handful of others joining me over 100pts.
