    The provisional startlists are up on Cycling Fever… Looks like the opening stages could be tricky to predict – bumpy but with flat finishing sections. Stage 5 TT will shake things up, and then stages 6 and 7 have the bigger hills to decide the GC. At first glance there are a lot of strong sprinters and TTers, and 4-5 US teams we haven’t seen much of this season so far, but maybe only a handful of riders (Horner, Liepheimer, Nibali, Van Garderen, Gesink, Lulu Sanchez) competing for the overall. But what do I know…

    I have a secret weapon too…I think the not really needing to worry about credits means that you need to pick the right men as you cant really on others being unable to have more than say 2 of the big boys like in a normal rice with lots of high priced riders

    I seem to have loads of credit left and got a decent team, Wondering if i’ve gone wrong somewhere :?.

    More importantly though is i’ve looked at Leipheimer but cant make my mind up whether to go for him or TJ.

    Will mull it over and see what comes. Thats the problem with to many credits for the standard of the competitor.
