Tour of Poland
Starts on Tuesday - Profile looks not a million miles away from Tour of California minus TT (first 4 stages could all be sprint finishes but a couple do have hills, 5 is craggy, 6 is a brute, 7 short and flat). I just picked my team and had 43.4 credits left over! Who's going for this? Or is it just an unwelcome distraction?

Radar tells me their closing speed, if they are slowing and how far away. Then I decide to say a prayer. The change of light pattern is incidental.

scores up yet?
I raked in a spectacular 11 points today. Finally, my form from the Spring Classics has returned!
I thought Tiralongo had nabbed some mountain points, but my Polish must be rusty because he got nothin' in the game.
i got 11 points too bigmong. why don't you join me in 270th place
Help! I missed the start of the race due to being on holiday. I seem to be exempt now from scoring anything. Can anyone help?
nope you are correct, it did say tiralongo, however whoever was doing the live ticker doesnt know who is who, and it actually ended up not be tiralongo
I had 12th (Henao) 14th (Nocentini) plus Henao 5th on climbing
I don't know where you saw the results, but someone most have jumped above your riders
http://tourdepologne.pl/en/t/etap-i,wyniki/#kEtap
Elmiger isn't in the listing's its now Julien Berard, I can't even find Martin Elmiger in the race at all
Bother! Had Moser in, but at the last minute swapped him out for Huzarski thinking he might do something in the break! Got Kwiatowski & Bakelandts so not all bad I guess.
Can add 11 and 14 now
According to Tour of Poland website the top 20 are:
MOSER Moreno
KWIATKOWSKI Michał
BOOM Lars
WEGMANN Fabian
MORI Manuele
BAKELANTS Jan
VISCONTI Giovanni
BRESCHEL Matti
GOŁAŚ Michał
ELMIGER Martin
NORDHAUG Lars Petter
HENAO MONTOYA Sergio Luis
FRANK Mathias
NOCENTINI Rinaldo
URAN Rigoberto
CAPECCHI Eros
BARDET Romain
IZAGUIRRE INSAUSTI Ion
GERDEMANN Linus
PIRES Bruno
So 6th and 15th for me.
Had 2nd and 9th. Changed boom last night as well
i had 12th (frank), 14th (uran) and 18th (Gerdemann)...abit rubbish if i do say so myslef!!!
Moser
Kwiatkowski
Boom
Wegnann
Mori
Bakelants
Visconti
Breschel
Golas
Elmiger
Thats the top 10 being put up, don't count on it being right
I think I only have Golas as a couple of my others crashed on the run in
Am I being stupid or is the STage 1 profile wrong?? THe overall profile shows the finish after the descent of the climb, but the finishing 3km profile shows the last 3km along the jagged top of the climb? Totally different types of finishes??

Had Sylvain Georges in my team until last night when I replaced him with Jack Bauer so hope he doesn't win this stage!
Heavy rain "the peloton is dressed up in capes"
Climb - 1 Matysiak (10pts), 2 Teklehaimanot (7pts), 3 Rocchetti (5pts), 4 Marycz (3pts) & 5 Georges (2pts)
It will be 5,4,3,2,1 points awarded
Points are awarded based on teh number of scorers, so if 5 riders score its as abovem, if two score it would be 2,1
Yeah the points above were just the race scores, not the game scores.
Tell you what, the commentary on the ToP hasn't been great, they don't even know who's who
I couldn't decide between proper hilly riders and sprinters who can climb a bit, so I've split my team up - sprinty stars and hilly domestiques.

I've gone for these, no idea what to expect really but I can't imagine there would be so many sprinters there if they weren't going for stage wins. So were rider classifications different last year then? This is my first year and I'm really enjoying it, but nothing to compare it to!
Degenkolb
Ciolek
Modolo
Swift (like Chavanel, I can't resist picking him if he's riding)
Majka
Golas
Serebriakov
Kristoff
Gavazzi
Hmm - 40.4 credits left over, can I use them in the TdF?
I'm going purist again, I don't know what it is about this season, but there is no fun left in playing the game for me. Last year it was fun, this year, not in the slightest and I think that may have come across in some of my posts.
It was Ballan or Ventoso

Fransisco Jose Ventoso (MOV)

Bit too easy now you can pick so many stars of a certain type. Thinking this might be my last year at it as well! At most going to play this purist.
Perhaps it's just a case of overkill, I've found that a little this year, didn't enjoy the CdD, TdS or ToC, all three were just a race too much at the time, especially having a week long race at the same time as the grand tours (Giro/ToC and TdF/TdP). I wonder if stretching the fantasy season to start with the TDU, ToQ and ToO was too much and I'm just burnt out. I might take it easy next year (a'la the riders aiming to peak at the tour) and only get started just before the Giro.
Bit of hair puller this one
hoping i've picked the right Polish riders for the breaks!

Sprint stages should be a bit more straight forward.....
I want Ballan, I just cant fit him in anywhere
Well I have a couple of poles...but Szmyd was not one of them...big mistake???
