This looks like it's going to be pretty exciting! I'm trying to select my team, but it's pretty hard! :| The budget is once again at 140. Are we going to keep playing all the stages at this budget until we get to the Grand Tours? I miss the 150 budget! :)

the old one two for me……and I think Ruffoni’s wikipedia will probably say….a 3 credit rider particularly attractive to those of a fantasy cycling persuausion because of his age!!

Ruffoni is a young italian who can sprint, don’t know much about him myself, but learnt enough last week in qatar that he is Bardini’s preferred sprinter at the moment

Seems ages ago when I picked
Seems ages ago when I picked my team – forgot to check this morning but luckily no withdrawals.

Its 100% sprinty, I must’ve been feeling particularly unimaginative…

Greipel
Van Staeyen
Swift
Boonen
Bouhanni
Haussler
Markus
Bennati
Vanspeybrouck

Purist is same top 4, but with Sagan, Uran, Frank Schleck, De Maar, Colonna. Not sure what I was thinking there…

Nice blog Matt. I would say
Nice blog Matt. I would say stage 2 is a sprinters like stage 1. I rather hope Bouhanni does a bit better than 1 top 10! I see him grabbing a brace of podiums. Also don’t see Nibali in the shape to challenge froomedog , but we shall see!
