Tour de France Stage 1
Dave has written his preview for Le Tour so I thought I'd kick things off here.
Stage 1 is a *Prologue* followed by a Classics type stage (or is that a sprint?). Will you load your team with TTer's, sprinters or a bit of both?
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.

Sounds cool. I haven't taken an "unnecessary flight" since 1992. Flown many times since then for work, but you can't patrol the Iraqi desert, or...

Cav really? yh but box hill is the finish, stage 1 is a 2.5km drag uphill, with more than half of that at nearly 6% no way will Cav be near the front for that in my opinion, as the attacks will unable to be controlled. Ive already given my two tips earlier in the thread
Any pg tips have thebenefit of pg being a belgian wanting to wear yellow at home....
So just when I thought I had a team I was going to be fairly happy with... (until Saturday evening anyway
)... along came the weekend and the roster changes...
No Elmiger, who'd finished high up in the Tour de Suisse prologue nor Remi Pauriol who'd bagged a few points in the Paris-Nice prologue...
Hmm, so now what to do...?
Geraint Thomas did well in the short prologue at the giro
. . . #ILikeToBeHelpful
Yup Elmiger messed up my team too.....
Thanks J Andrew!...
.... hey ... wait a minute... Thomas isn't riding...
#ImNotFallingForThatOne
Yeah, shame about Elmiger - I'm trying to find 3 cheap DS that are good all-rounders and always looking for a break, so I can just leave them in for the first week and not waste transfers - thought he was just the man.
Looks like Elmiger wasn't the secret weapon I thought he was
