    Apparently Nocentini and Hutarovich have both crashed… and both in my standard :(

    Yes! For the same reason, I often have an AG2R rider as I scan the startlists in alphabetical order by team!

    Ray – yes I agree about
    Ray – yes I agree about Busche – had him in until the last minute when I had to replace him with Ludvigsson for the extra credits. On the list for later in the week, as is his teammate Zoidl…

    There’s a lot of love for
    There’s a lot of love for LuLu out there!! Although drheaton seems to be happy with an eight man team in the first post LOL

    My standard team for(hopefully the first 2 sprinty/classics type stages):

    Degenkolb
    Phinney
    LuLuSanchez
    Boy Van Poppel
    Hushovd
    Hutarovich
    Sicard
    Fedrigo
    Zoidl

    Don’t think Chava,Peraud et al will come into play except to finish with the bunch on these 2 stages and then attack the race on stage 3 and then the stage 4 time trial then try and fend off the likes of Betancur,Rolland and Pellizotti in the final Summit Finish

    The need for Chava in a purist team left me with a weaker support cast

    Chavanel
    Phinney
    Degenkolb
    Busche(this has got a bit of a Cali feel to it?)
    Devenyns
    LeMevel(I seem to have been picking him forever as he’s got cheaper and cheaper!!)
    Duque
    LuLuSanchez
    Fedrigo

    If you’re wanting coverage you’re best keeping an eye on twitter.

    I’m following https://twitter.com/PelotonWatch which is giving updates on both Qatar and Med, there are also some hashtags for Med “#TourMed” and “#TourMed2014”.

    Very difficult comp to work
    Very difficult comp to work out this one. Will the sprinters make it over the bumps and lumps and is the TT long enough to go purely for TT guys ?

    My purist is:

    Tobias Ludvigsson
    Pierre Rolland
    Thomas Peterson
    Francesco Manuel Bongiorno
    Bartlomiej Matysiak
    Franco Pellizotti
    Angel Madrazo
    Marcel Wyss
    Julien Antomarchi

    My standard is:

    Danilo Napolitano
    Luis Leon Sanchez
    Bartlomiej Matysiak
    Yauheni Hutarovich
    Rinaldo Nocentini
    Angel Madrazo
    Sylvain Chavanel
    Nikolay Mihaylov
    Julien Antomarchi
