I figured I'd pull this into a separate thread:

I'll go Nibali, Santambrogio, Garzelli please!
Good luck all
Nibali, Pirazzi and Battaglin
Top post updated with your teams so no changes!
Also, djb123, I assume it's Giampaolo Caruso you've picked as Damiano doesn't fit in your budget
I meant Giampaolo, the one I can afford. I can't edit above so, for clarity, my three are:
Michele Scarponi, Filippo Pozzato and Giampaolo Caruso
Aru, Santambrogio, Pirazzi
Lets see how I do with 40.2 value...
Oh yeah - the other one's WAY too expensive! All those young rider points he got last year I guess...
Then again, Cannondale are potentially leaderless for the race and at less than 25 credits he could be a good shout. He did well dragging Basso's carcas around last year so he could suprise some people this year if he's allowed to ride for himself.
Also, anyone know who's leading Katusha for the Giro?
Santambrogio, Nibali & Battaglin thanks.
Crikey, that's 31 teams so far, wasn't expecting it to be this popular...
Best get planning my 'three Frenchmen team' now then.
Or 3 Yankees for Cali?
Thats why I went for Salerno - that, and the fact that its more fun to pick someone random. Just tried to put a quid on Salerno for the KOM, expecting 200/1 or something, but he didn't even have odds listed! He'd better not win it now...
Nibali (30.0) No surprise there
S. Pirrazzi (15.6) To offset all the Santambrogio picks
Bongiorno (3.0) His name sounds ball bouncingly funny
Nibali, Santambrogio and Gavazzi for me please
Don't know, this is getting the point where it'll take me ages to do the scores, think I'll just save it for the Tour and Vuelta.
Franco Pellizotti (AND) 5.4
Mauro Santambrogio (VIN) 14.7
Stefano Pirazzi (BVI 15.6
Well, it is only a game
good game.
Nibali, Pirazzi, Gavazzi
Fabio Sabatini, Paolo Tiralongo, Mauro Santambrogio,
I'll go with Nibali, G. Caruso and Locatelli
I think cyclingnews.com said they were putting their faith in Yuri Trofimov...
Luca Paolini seems a more logical choice.
Nibali , Santambrogio , Di Luca
sshhhh, dont mention paolini, no one else has picked him and if he does well I will be laughing all the way to the socks shop.
If he was English, he'd be called Frank Goodmorning
Nibali, santambrogio, battaglin please!
Nibali, Pirazzi, santambrogio. per favore
You want me do them on a spreadsheet? just for the individual riders then can work out which combo has won on the last day?
Yes, Paolini a good bet for Stage 3 IMO.
Ignore that last post, im an idiot (didn't notice the 50 credits bit.
Nibali, Locatelli, Aru.
Viviani, Pozzovivo, Di Luca.
pozzovivo (22.7) Appolinio, (10.2), Pirazzi (15.6)
