Whats you team looking like?
Ok, guys, i know you wont believe me after last years antics 
But i really cant decided on a team to start the TdU
This is my latest changes
Replace Edvald Boasson Hagen with Matthew Goss
Replace Matthew Goss with Michael Matthews
Replace Mark Renshaw with Jose Joaquin Rojas
Replace Robbie Mcewen with Alessandro Ballan
Replace Adam Blythe with Cameron Meyer
Replace Jens Voigt with Luke Roberts
Replace Adam Hansen with Gorka Izagirre
Replace Matthew Lloyd with Ben Hermans
Replace Matthew Brammeier with Jose Ivan Gutierrez
Cant decided on a final team, changing guys daily, lol
Also, not looking forward to some of the big races, as its still a 2 per team limit, having Wiggo and Cav in the same team now and also the Schlecks, Cancellara, Horner, Kloden and Fuglsang to name a few of the RSN team

Or buy Campagnolo mechanical. Put it on the bike and adjust it. Clean it and oil it when necessary. Replace the chain when it's worn. Ditto cassette.

Well obviously - why do you think they gave up on building this stuff well over a millennium ago?

They lack confidence?

Strictly speaking, I think they have to have a 'reasonable belief'. So maybe if they caught up to you you could advance a defence that there was no...

Andre Greipel (LOT)
Jose Joaquin Rojas (MOV)

Christopher Sutton
Nathan Haas (GRM)
Jacopo Guarnieri (AST)

No giggling
Just realised I missed the deadline
so I'm stuck with the team I was messing about with to keep some points in the balance 
Jan Bakelants
Matthew Goss
Mark Renshaw
Simon Gerrans
Jesse Sergent
Danilo Hondo
Steele von Hoff
Alex Dowsett
Jack Bauer
Lets party
the games afoot
Well I think that's it . . . my final transfers for the TDU. I have now transferred out:=
Danny Pate
Nathan Haas
Heinrich Haussler
Michael Rogers
Cameron Meyer
Ruben Perez
Matthew Lloyd
Serge Pauwels
Alessandro Petacchi
But that would have been a good squad.
90 minutes to kickoff.
Is Cav racing this time?
I've Geraint. Think he may do well.
Well I reckon he's a good bet, gonna be leading out the Boss so likely to be there or there abouts but also likely to hang in there overall. He'll be top 10 on a few stages I reckon?
No one fancy Geraint?
Not seen anyone pick him yet, maybe overpriced
The problem with GT is, he's in the "star" riders section, now he may well be leading out EBH along with Pate, but that then discounts him as a star and i don't have room for people like that in my team
Okay, first of all, I'm back :evil:. Second, what do you guys think about stage 2? Will the sprinters survive the climbs :?? Just wondering. Sorry for leaping ahead
Matthew Goss (GRE)
Michael Matthews (RAB)
Mark Renshaw (RAB)
Heinrich Haussler (GRM)
Cameron Meyer (GRE)
Luke Roberts (SAX)
Mathew Hayman (SKY)
Matthew Lloyd (LAM)
Adam Hansen (LOT)
My Aussie time, just deciding whether or not to have EBH for stage one or two now, i dont think he'll be at the front on the opening stage
I've picked a new fallback outsider, since all my fav outsiders are now insiders
Ifancy Casar and Roy to spend the most time in breakaways, and possibly pull of the hilltop finish?
Well I have already changed 5 of my team but pretty settled on that team now
At the moment, i do not have EBH, but i see that changing at the weekend
Has anyone put together a team that DOESN'T include EBH?
me
Hang on - just tried again using MS IE - there's a 2nd commit button on the transfer summary page - sure that wasn't there when I used Google Chrome?
I've got the same problem - I pick my team, commit the changes, but hen I go back there's no-one listed and the big red button still says my team is incomplete?
Keep Calm and Carry On - heeers fluffy
Mark Renshaw
Matthew Goss
Edvald Boasson Hagen
Robert Hunter
Christopher Sutton
Danilo Hondo
Cameron Meyer
Jack Bauer
Adam Hansen
I've picked my 9 riders 4 times now, but they don't stay in my team & all show as no rider
I don't think you want me to play out with you
What browser/OS? you clicked the big button, right?
Dave, all sorted now thanks
Dave, c'mon, let's have a limit of 4 per team for the grand tours! What's the big deal? It'd be fun! If I could I'd have the whole GreenEdge team as my 9 riders for the TDU! I think it'd be fun! Fantasy imitating reality!
On another note:
Would you consider putting reply and quote links to the main thread of a forum topic? Thanks!
Matthew Goss (GRE)
Mark Renshaw (RAB)
Greg van Avermaet (BMC)
Heinrich Haussler (GRM)
Domestiques
Christopher Sutton (SKY)
Jens Voigt (RSN)
Danilo Hondo (LAM)

Pauwels
Love it mate - hope you choose well. Though I think we may all be up for giving you a run for your money
BTW - how's the synthetic food tasting going??
Most were ok, but some just didn't agree with my system at all, most time on the toilet than on the bike
I'm working on write ups for them all at the moment
@gkam try and get as many aussies on board and maybe a few with a track record for combativity!! The spaniards don't travel well for some reason so maybe a few north europeans. Think though you may be spinning us a line and have your team set. Anyway here's my lot subject to change mind.
Stars
Renshaw
Thomas
Goss
Bakelants
Domestiques
Voigt
Sutton
O'Grady
Lloyd
Bauer
Will probably crash and burn but hey...
