No, ill check the spreadsheet but I'm pretty sure I scored him for 4th.
Yeah, my bad, I'd mis-scored Maxime Daniel (20 instead of 25) so he was being picked up as 4th highest scorer and not third.
Updating now.
Is there a badge for scoring 1 point?
Andy Schleck has done a Schleck already??? He has cost me money at the bookies, he has reneged on the solemn bond of choosing to be in my fantasy team, and now he has gypped me again. What a schlecker!
If only we had a pic of Andy in happier circumstances to take away your pain... ooh, hang on...
Andy Schleck at 2013 TDU (Santos Tour Down Under, Regallo).jpg
This tactic of trying to get as much racing in as possible before the TdF is really working well for him...
You get the impression that he doesn't really want to struggle along like all the other guys and if he can't be great he doesn't want to take part. From the sounds of it the only reason he managed so much of the TdU is because Voigt kept shouting at him.
looks like those 3 points are not such a bargain after all.
There is one poni though. Whilst Andy is not making a miracle recovery and is struggling we know there's a pretty good chance he's clean. If he had come back and torn up the hills in the TdU, maybe we'd be unsure.
meanwhile looks like Jens and Fabian and Chris and Andreas and Yaroslav and Gregory and Haimar get to spend another year yelling at another Schleck.
I do agree though, I think both Schlecks have motivational issues and rely purely on talent. They seem ready with the excuses too quickly when other riders grit their teeth and fight on. Odd when you look at who their team mates are.
I can beat that i scored 0 on my purist team
You mean, like Contador did....
I know that was different and that he came back from a ban and not from an injury but it never felt right how good he was so quickly after getting back into racing.
Agreed, they seem far too eager to give excuses when things go wrong. I think though that that is part of their cycling experience, even from a young age they've both been protected and molly-coddled as stars whereas other riders have had to work their way up the hard way (including the likes of Wiggins) and perhaps have 'earned' their status whereas, to a certain extent, the Schleck haven't.
I transferred in Pinotti and Navardauskas for Nizzolo and B.Feillu having missed Greipel on stage 1 and scoring only 34 points.
Rogers
Navardauskas
Monfort
Talansky
Roy
Chaves
LeMevel
Santaromita
Pinotti
I've already lost Schleck AND Taaramae from my purist team leaving just Nieve,Roche,Martin,Montaguti,Mollema,Quintero and LeMevel to try and improve on my 1 pt from stage 1
Same here 'Stumps' I got 0 as well, on my standard team with eight riders , but I managed to squeeze a whole 50 points out of my decimated purist team, five riders left :''(. Stage two will be a shocker as well because I couldn't change anything as I was away
