Sometimes (depending on where you live) but a driving course or 3 points when potentially they could have killed someone is pretty trivial. ...

Come now. You can do much better than that. 3 out of 10 for trolling.

Their range includes the "Tomahawk" and "Excalibur" shorts and, rather more prosaically, the "Hammer" t-shirt. Guaranteed to make you look either...

Looks like the break is set, 2 mins after just a few km...
Canola
Dowsett
Teklehaymanot
Malacarne
De La Cruz
Good to have Malacarne in the break for my purists, was optimistic about moving up the purist overall table this week but Meersman's crash I reckon will have cost me a good 200 points. Maybe Malacarne can make up for it today...
I've got Teklehaymanot in the break, he seems to be up for the breaks the last couple of comps.
Bit compromised today as I went for a good TTT, and my one change was planned from the start - Demare in for Malori. Couldn't fit Greipel in without a couple of penalties, which I thought probably wouldn't be worth it...
Cav
Petacchi
Kittel
Demare
Impey
Santaromita
Arredondo
Goos
Nuyens
Only time will tell whether my 30 point penalty was worth it. 2 sprint stages though.
Its tricky, 5% last km tomorrow. Should still be a sprint, but might be a bit less predictable, hence keeping Impey over Greipel. We shall see - I like it when there's marked differences between the teams on the forum...
Hmm, didn't see that 5%. Will have to give it some thought.
Cav
Demare
Greipel
Kittel
Colbrelli
and 4 others
I had Cav, Modolo, Ruffoni and Demare anyways so added a couple more for 10 point penalty
Mark Cavendish (OPQ)
Sacha Modolo (LAM)
Andre Greipel (LTB)
Matteo Pelucchi (IAM)
Nicola Ruffoni (BAR)
Arnaud Demare (FDJ)
Julian David Arredondo (TFR)
Kristian Sbaragli (MTQ)
Paolo Longo Borghini (CAD)
I already had him in as one of my OPQS guys for the TTT
For this i took out Trentin and Kennaugh for Demare and Modolo
Cav
Demare
Modolo
Sergent
Malori
Durbridge
Hepburn
Dowsett
Arredondo
Protecting 22nd in the race and 4th in Forum's Scorum's.
Not got faith in Cav at the mo, especially at that price.
So here goes!
Greipel
Kittel
Bennett
Modolo
Demare
Bennati
Eisel
Boucher
