    Maybe the ‘click to see prizes’ should be more prominent…

    I have to admit I think 180 is slightly too high for this field. For a more expensive field for the Tour then perhaps. A lot of teams will have exactly the same names next week.

    I think 150 to 180 would have been fine priced as is.

    For the Tour de France I think it is important that the cost of the low to mid riders is lower relative to the more expensive and high point scorers. With the best going full gas the rest don’t score much. It would be nice to find some value hidden in the lower riders

    ….hopes Dave is listening…

    Heh heh. Good post.

    What’s ridiculous is how a race can kick you in the teeth in spite of you practically being able to afford just about any rider you want, eat you up, spit you out, laugh in your face and say ‘You can’t tame me! Not even with you being able to pick any 9 riders you want!’ I hate this race, but I love this game…

    We’ll see if dave’s comment still holds true…

    Since I’m in the mix at this
    Since I’m in the mix at this stage (although taking the 10 pens to put in Malori and Ludvigsson did not go as planned), I was wondering if anyone knows what the prizes are this year – I looked around the site a bit but could not find it.
    Although, I think I may be headed further down the table, as I did not plan ahead as I normally do, and I think I’m pretty screwed for tomorrow’s stage in terms of getting the TT guys out and sprinters in.

    Dropped another 200+ places today, now outside the top 500 (after being in the top 100 only a couple of days ago :”( ).

    Gutted my team, taken penalties for tomorrow and have no sprinters, going to stockpile transfers and try for a stage win in the mountains.

    Still, I’m moderately happy with that score. Twenty penalty points taken for tomorrow’s stage but should be the last pens for a while, barring multiple DNS/Fs.

    I wouldn’t write off Evans yet. He’ll be disappointed not to have done better today and Uran is in pole, but he still put time into Quintana. Both OPQS and BMC look to have super-strong and largely intact teams, which is more than can be said of Movistar.

    Keep an eye on Pozzovivo sneaking in there as well.

    1,3,7,8 and last for me, plus a few extras – GC, teammate bonus etc. Should’ve stuck with my gut that it would be mainly GC guys up there and not bothered with Malori or Ludvigsson, although in fairness a fully fit Malori might still have gone well, and I didn’t realise he’d crashed when I picked him.

    I’ve been rubbish this Giro, keep making fairly good predictions but for some reason not picking my fantasy team to reflect them! Will be going for a good stage in the mountains now…
