    It looks like the Popularity tab when picking a team in Tirreno-Adriatico is working in a “non optimal” way; unless of course Sanchez and Kreuziger are really the most popular riders!

    Maybe I’m missing out?

    For purists, I reckon its easier to pick the winners of tghe hilly stages, whereas sprints is a free for all and may get beaten by a break, so ive packed my purist team with climbers. Go rigoberto! :^o

    Making that call between Cav, Greipel and Sagan for the flat stages will be tough. Maybe pick those three and pack the rest of the squad with low-rent Italian domestiques looking to get in the breaks? It’s a tactic…

    I may regret it but not got Sagan in either team, but in my standard I do have a good decent set of sprinters for the first two stages

    It is such a head scratcher, im hopoing as it is only 9km, one of my sprinters may be up there in the top 20

    Ive tried to cover all bases.
    3 sprinters, 1 TT guy, 1 GC/TT, 1 GC and 3 that could do well or not do well on stages

    For standard, I’ve gone for broke on the TTT with two riders from each of the three teams I think will do well, as normally I mess up the TTTs by being too conservative.

    Probably the first race this season when you’ve got no chance of being able to afford all the riders you want, which made it great fun to pick a team!

    Ive got two sprinters in my purist, kind of took a risk

    The popularity rankings don’t
    The popularity rankings don’t usually work until after the first stage. For example it’s likely that TJVG, Chavanel, Westra, Bouhanni and Porte are the 5 most popular riders for Paris-Nice.

    What I would say is that where it’s ordered alphabetically it usually means that there’s is no ranking, for TA it’s likely that Sanchez and Kreuziger have some kind of residual popularity as they appear to be the only ones ranked on popularity.
