    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?

    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 🙁

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Success :D. I got the Stage Podium, High Roller & Podium badges. But I think there’s been a mistake with the Podium badge because I only had 1st, 2nd & 4th. Has Nizzolo been credited with 3rd?

    Ok, scores updating as I type. Have a look and let me know if you don’t agree with anything.

    Note, I haven’t been able to find a combative rider prize award anywhere so haven’t added the points in (even though you can guarantee they would go to Vimpere). If I spot a combative award anywhere I’ll add it otherwise it’ll have to stay out.
