Chose Grivko over Larsson, and got Chavanel. Also chose Zabriskie over Lancaster, so lets see if Captain America will prove me right... Going OK so far!

I'm watching live, decent coverage, but for anyone who cannot catch the race live on certain days. I HAVE to recommend the official tracker app, loving it to go along with the live coverage  3

Fabian Cancellara (RSN)
Levi Leipheimer (OPQ)
Thomas Danielson (GRM)
Juan Jose Haedo (SAX)
Lieuwe Westra (VCD)
Lars Bak (LOT)
David Zabriskie (GRM)
Gustav Erik Larsson (VCD)
Giampaolo Caruso (KAT)

Here is mine, not much thought. Sagan in tommorrow plus one other then Cav for rest of week till the two lumpy stages. No Wiggo till TT, then probably out because I think he might not win any stages except TTs and still win the tour.Hesjedal will make an appearance in team at dome point plus Hoog, Sorensen and any form DS

Best of luck one...and....all

That was part of the reason I decided in the end to not pick too many TTing DSs, it'd take too long to get them out of my team. So I decided to splash out on expensive stars.

Yup as i think both of the guys i will be bringing in could top 5 and thus negate the points for being in yellow

However im now starting to regret my choices as gerrans is off the pace and i replaced grivko with lancaster, that will be a mistake it seems

Got 3 of the same stars and 3 of the DSs. Might bring in LLSanchez tonight, defo take out Larsson, not quite his thing it seems. Sagan I was hoping for at least top 10 but he is young!! Not sure what will happen tomorrow, but looking forward to it.

Today and Tomorrow are the only day's i'm going to be able to watch live. So i'm going purist. I just had my team published below, but made a couple of changes with 11 minutes to go  3

Spartacus would look great in yellow and it would distinguish him as different to the rest of the Shack/Nissan rabble.

Could use his classics knowhow to go quite a few days as race leader....in fact whoever leads the race today has a good chance of keeping it for a while if their team 'mark' Gilbert.

Until late last night I'd settled on having Chavanel for Cancellara and more TTing DSs but changed my mind, hopefully Spartacus will do the business today.

Mine is fairly predictable - mainly TT with a couple of cheap guys that I'm planning to keep in for the first few days at least...

Sagan (a given)
Cancellara (in for Brad at the last minute)
Chavanel (I just really like him. TTing is much-improved)
Rogers (needed his cheapness in order to afford...)
Zabriskie
Grivko (could've gone Larsson but thought I'd be different)
Engoulvent (Can be good in prologues, and could be OK for first few stages)
Julien Simon (Cheap - could be a good dark horse for the first week or could do nothing)
Burghardt (Just fancied a punt on him, he seems to like attacking if BMC let him)

Still fancy Wiggins to win today, very excited about his prospects for the podium...
