Tour de Med - Stage 1

Tour de Med starts with a 'flat stage'.  However, the stage is pretty bumpy for the first half and there's a real chance that some sprinters may get dropped if the peloton is going for it.

My team is sprint/climbing TTers split with

Griepel, Feillu, Oss, Turgot, Nizzolo, Navardauskas, Clement, Roy, Pauriol

and my Purist team is:

Voeckler, Talansky, Izagirre, Roy, Roux, Boom, Sicard, Pellizotti, Routley

So, hands up, who's picked Schleck?

Vimpere away on his own, Euskatel seem to have chased that 4th place pretty hard so we could see Bravo going after more points later on.

1st cat climb result:

Col du Paradis - 1ère catégorie
1 Théo Vimpère (BigMat-Auber 93)
2 Thomas Vaubourzeix (La Pomme Marseille)
3 Will Routley (Accent Jobs-Wanty)
4 Garikoitz Bravo (Euskaltel-Euskadi)
5 Olivier Kaisen (Lotto-Belisol)

so, 5 points down to 1 for those riders.

Bad luck for me and others - non-starters Taaramae and Duque. At least neither are in my purist team

And Taaramae's withdrawn 31 Duque also

Routley,Vimpere and Vaubourzeix have 3'00" or so on the field.

*Hand shoots up*

I've got Schleck in purists(as discussed elsewhere with the good Doctor).

Standard:
Treated myself to the best sprinter in the peloton for stage one only but otherwise all solid guys I think so here goes...Greipel,Chaves,Talansky,Monfort,Mollema,Rogers,LeMevel,Pellizotti,Pauriol.

9.2 credits in reserve for replacing Greipel in stage 2.

Purist:
Montaguti,Mollema,Pellizotti,Schleck,Voeckler,Taciak,Taaramae(wrong age for him admins),Talansky,Duarte.

I make Talansky favourite for the overall win.
