    Just a heads up about a couple of things with this race.

    The race runs from Thursday 13th February to Sunday 16th February and has five stages with two stages, a short MM stage (stage 3) and a 18km time trial (stage 4) both being run on the Saturday. Given that one stage starts at 9am local time and the other at 2pm local time the intention is to run both stages in the game as separate stages so there will be a transfer window in between them. Just something to bare in mind when making your picks.

    I ran the race last year and from memory it took a while to get some of the results info so it may be that scores are up later than expected and it's almost certain that I'll struggle to get stage 3 scores up before the start of stage 4 on Saturday afternoon.

    The race website can be found at http://www.letourmed.fr/ and it has breakdowns of stages but no profiles (as far as I can see but my French isn't what it used to be). You can get more stage info at ProCyclingStats here (http://www.procyclingstats.com/race/Tour_Mediterraneen_Cycliste_Professionnel_2014)

    If you have any questions let me know.

    I had withdrawals in both my teams, just squeezed in some changes before the deadline. Now I look at it, my purist is very TT-heavy which is either a big mistake or a revolutionary new tactic…

    My standard is 7 guys that can sprint from a reduced bunch, one potential GC guy and a Europcar 3.0 for luck. Hoping for minimal changes until the TT, but could have called it completely wrong, difficult to tell from the profiles…

    My purist team looks strong
    My purist team looks strong but my standard team is a bit cobbled together. Not sure what type of finish today or tomorrow will be so edging all my bets and going for a mix of riders.

    Banking on being able to leave my team as is until Saturday afternoon then make some TT/GC changes before the big stage on Sunday.

    Looking at their pics, pretty sure IAM is actually a firm of modernist architects. They all look they drive Saabs.

    Final pre race roster update
    Final pre race roster update has been done.

    The big question, is Chavanel worth picking? He’s expensive at 36.4 credits but when you look at the potential competition (Peraud basically) he seems a good shout.

    I’m assuming Betancur and Rolland are just there for training?

    Aye, there have been a couple of changes so will pick these up this evening once the last ones have trickled through.

    If someone you want to pick isn’t in the current game startlist you can still add them to your team. You just need to change “Filter: In startlist” to “Filter: All riders” and you’ll then be able to pick anyone.

    I can’t remember as the competition archive isn’t that extensive, however I believe I came 19th with my normal team, but I know I won the purist overall with that team.

    Not gone too big with ITTers with my purist, just 1 out and out rider, but that could change yet

    I know that Wig_Billy took the Forum’s Scorums and old Tommy Two Darts(TERatcliffe)took the purist division in that mini league.

    I’ll be running a start list update over lunch so if you look again this afternoon it should have any of the latest changes included.

    EDIT: Roster update done with only a couple of changes. Will probably run another tomorrow evening.
