TDF Stage 1 Liege-Seraing

Gilbert in for Wiggins
Cancellara
Sagan
Rogers
Arashiro in for Zabriskie
Engoulvent
Simon
Bernaudeau
Izagirre

Hoping for a decent show from Gilbert/Sagan and Cancellara to keep yellow and possibly finish top 10.

Made no changes as i set my team up for stage 1 and not the prologue where unless you guess right it can be a lottery for results.

Wiggins
EBH
Oss
Gerrans
Zabriskie )
Astarloza
Albasini
Cantwell
Paoloni

got that feeling gilbert will win

Gilbert for wiggins
Sagan
Gerrans
LL Sanchez

Lancaster
Zabriske
Edet
Simon
Gallopin for Larsson

6 of my team i think could potentially top 10 today....
the problem stage is tomorrow

If I were betting money I'd go with Gilbert for today, but my plan was to start with Sagan and Cancellara so I'm sticking with that - Spartacus might be there or thereabouts today as well so I don't want to waste a transfer...

Cancellara
Sagan
Rogers (will probably go tomorrow)
Chavanel
Burghardt
Engoulvent
Simon
Gallopin (in for Grivko)
Boeckmans (in for Zabriskie)

I've put in Gerrans and Albasini. Ideally, I would like to have put in Sagan and Gilbert but restricted by both points and transfers.....

My team is

Wiggins
Spartacus
Gerrans
M Rogers

Albasini
Boeckmans
J Simon
Gretsch
Zabriskie

At least I picked a breakaway guy, although not too happy with how the mountain points are awarded...

5 points for 1st at the top of a cat 4 and that is it? id prefer it to be less points but more riders get them like it has been for previous races, like 4,3,2,1 based on the number of scoring riders as in the race. Or does only one rider score points in the race?

Should be at least 10 intermediate sprint points though as 6th place will get that......plus a chance of combativity award.

Go Urtasun

I've got Urtasun in my purist team #result #jinxednow

PLEASE...

This is definitely not twitter.

ive got Edet in both my teams.....and after doing my research there is only one scorer on cat 4 mountains, however they only get 1 point in there comp, yet we get 5, but for them in the HC climb they get 20 points yet we only get 15. Just seems the difference is quite great thats all.

now i know the fulls scoring im not moaning and i guess its the same for all...just a massive reward i guess if you get the right guy that goes over the cat 4 1st

Im guessing you dont wanna know whats going on?

No.

Just tell everyone to stop #ing

STOP IT ITS UNNECESSARY

So the break today is

Morkov, Bouet, Urtasin, Delaplace, Gene and Edet

158km to go and 3.45 time gap

Just for Raleigh #notgoingtostayaway

Morkov takes the first 5 pointer of this years TDF

The official app tells me

Francorchamps was won by Urtasun. So he got the points

The first climb came 7km before that at Cokaifagne.

Morkov deffo won it.

Morkov 1 Urtasun 1 for real life purposes....five each for (more important)fantasy purposes

Is anyone watching the EuroSport coverage?

I CAN'T UNDERSTAND A WORD STEPHEN IS SAYING.

But I don't like the Halfords adverts on ITV4.

Dilemma

Where the hell is Gilbert??????

Got my team abit wrong....

Sagan
Spartacus
EBH
Gilbert

Should be some huge scores today

****. I'm giving up on the overall. Going to try and win every other stage.

OMG.

After literally two hours of constant commentary from my grandad, at the finish he turns and asks me:

Is this a race?

Cancellara is a LEGEND

Not sure you will many/any teams with more than 2 of those in....

Sagan, Canc and Gilbert for me.

EDIT No other scorers though /EDIT

Just a nightmare start for me.....Might as well throw my DS`s in the bin....Grrrrrr....

Playing purist, so not bad having Canc, Sagan and then Wiggo's points today.

If i was playing transfers i would have had 1/2/3 but not a big loss
