Looki g at the other declared teams, I need slagter and leukemens to do well

Is there any way now to see how many squads picked each of my riders? That wud be a nice feature...it should only activate when the window closes...

Sagan, gilbert, spilak and betancur will be in most teams then?! My other 5 are valverde, gerrans, ulissi, fuglsang and serry.

Happy with my purists...
Gilbert, gerrans, martin, betancur, kolobnev, ulissi, mollema, iglinsky, moser...

Rodriguez obviously the glaring omission but you can't have everyone!

standard
Sagan,Iglinsky,Betancur,Spilak,Ulissi,Albasini,Gilbert,Kwiatkowski,Quintana

Time to get the ball rolling with the naming and shaming I guess

Standard(looking for high finishes for the big 3 with the rest a bonus)

J-Rod
Sagan
Gilbert
Cunego
Quintana
Spilak
Betancur
Weening
P.Velits

Purist(a very Colombian look about it and a nod to Pais Vasco form)

JRod,Gilbert,Weening,Betancur,Moser,Cunego,Slagter,Quintana,Henao

Moser for purist, valverde for standard would be my shout. Can't wait for tomorrow, I love the ardennes races!

I'd go the Moser route.....5 pt bonus for Sagan if nothing else!!

Moser and Slagter
OR
Valverde and Ruigh

Can anyone help me make my mind up?

Wish I hadn't said anything now.....he's a bargain,a steal,a sale of the god damn century!!

Spilak's in. not sure why he's so cheap for the classics, some kindofa glitch in the matrix

Is Spilak riding?

He's on Cycling Fever Startlists.

Push-to-shove, I'd go Terminator over Purito, though if my classics selection suggest anything then I'd think twice before listening to me.

Saying that, Phil Gil is a must-pick for me.

I'm going to probably go for both plus Gilbert and then fiddle around for a few bargains.

Got one possible team picked for standard based purely on previous top 20 finishes
Trying to pick a team based on this years form but thats proving harder than i expected

Im torn between Sagan and J-Rod, J-Rod in both teams at the moment. Mollema is in my purist team, went with a frenchman in my standard team instead. I do have another dutchman in both teams though.

This could all change though....
