País Vasco Purist Competition

My second mini target of the season after Tirreno where I finished 15th. After that comes the Giro as my main objective this year. Then Tour, Vuelta and Lombardia as other important races.

Made some changes to my standard but kept purist the same. Was my best competition last year – 9th in purist and 17th standard. I think it was a combination of Gerrans/Impey early on, Quintana/Henao, and Betancur’s breakthrough on stage 3 that did it. That slow-motion sprint between Betancur and Henao was one of my favourite moments of last season, I don’t think they do that climb this year though…

Lots of Paris-Nice guys could feature here… Too bad they’re all expensive after Paris-Nice.

There are 1-2 sprint stages
There are 1-2 sprint stages so 1 sprinter is ok. I currently have 2 riders in my purist team specifically for breaks. 2 sprinters (1 is very cheap) and the rest is GC. B-)
Might change tho.

I agree, lots of mountain points on stage 1 so I’ve risked it from the off in both teams actually. Feels like I’m a strong sprinter light tho’…

It will be vital to have at least one rider who collects a decent amount of breakaway points looking at the stages. :B

Ratto did that for me last year and also Landa scored a few on one stage. B-)

The classics are races that I just don’t pay as much attention to and it shows as I never really do that well but I like to target the mini-tours, the week long European stage races like Med, Algarve, Catalunya and Pais Vasco.

Anyway, I’ll be trying to target this race on both purist and non-purist sides because I need some Forum Scorum points before I go away!

Same!

If you want to be good, you have to take some time to prepare. I get bored easily and I don’t want to spend too much time on this game. (|:

I always consider the purist overall too but I already missed a couple race days ~X( , just like last year, so I don’t have to focus on that anymore either.

I love the small stage races on Road.cc because they force you to plan transfers (unlike Classics) but they don’t take 3 weeks of your soul like the Grand Tours. Not that I won’t be spending many, many hours on here during all three GTs, because I most certainly will.

I’m not so worried about the effects of the races on my fitness, so am going for every single race this year.
