    Doubled up too. Thinking that Debusschere was reasonably cheap, and if Greipel bagged the stage he’d at least get the teammate bonus.

    Just Greips in me purist though 😕

    It’s comforting to see that type of paranoia in another… I am so fearful of missing out on points I almost did the same thing you did with Greipel and Debusschere… I hope you get points for both! 🙂 I left Boonen out today and I wish I had the balls to choose him… I’m always afraid he’ll put his Superman cape on and blow by everyone when he’s not in my team… I’m paranoid 🙁 … All yesterday I dwelled on, what if Boonen decides he wants the ENECO title for himself?… Could he ride off and leave Stybar behind? Or would he work for Stybar even if he feels extremely fit?… 😕 That’s (!) what makes loaded teams like OPQ and Lotto so unpredictable… and I hate (!) losing out on points… Which is why I propose next year we go to 15 man teams and a budget of 500 credits…

    Hmm, I’ve ended up with 8
    Hmm, I’ve ended up with 8 sprinters and 1 TT/GC in my standard, so probably some penalty transfers after stage 2.

    Purist is sprinter-lite with 5 top GC guys and the best of the cheaper sprinters.

    The start of Eneco means its a year since my last stage win! Thanks to Renshaw, but it all went wrong after that due to my stubbornness against picking Stybar.

    This time around, as usual I will pick the wrong one out of Stybar/Terpstra, and exacerbate it by picking the wrong one out of Gilbert/GVA. So paranoid am I that I have guarded against that kind of thing today by picking both Greipel AND Debusschere, which probably doesn’t make much sense…

    Im pretty set, however I have 5 sprinters, but I want 6, but I don’t want to have to make 30 penalties for stage 3, so sticking with 5 sprinters and 1 other means I would only have to make 20 penalties.

    Ah, 😐 you made me look it up… ‘In the bunch sprints we have both André Greipel and Jens Debusschere to strive for a win. Greipel didn’t race since the Tour. We will decide who’s to be our main sprinter day by day.’

    I guess if it’s the official start list it then it makes sense for it be more up-to-date than PCS… 😕 I believe as soon as PCS see it, they’ll update their list, too… But I feel pretty good that PCS does a fine job with their ‘confirmed’ teams… even the ‘official’ start lists have to be updated, which you and G have obviously had to do, even if they’re ‘official’, but once a team has a ‘confirmed’ green checkmark on PCS, as Team Sky had today and yesterday, I think they those riders can be trusted as starters, barring unforeseen circumstances which would probably take the race organizers by surprise, too… Good job with the constant updates, though, TER! Fantastic! 🙂

    But he should have rode, and sky only confirmed the change this afternoon, and it was tweeted by the official Eneco tour

    And he won’t be in much longer as I now have the startlist (which seems to be more up to date than PCS)

    I guess PCS can be trusted when they have their team ‘Confirmed’. Team Sky does not (!) show Wiggins on their Eneco lineup:
