    Now open – stage deadlines 1hr before start, except where that made it a pre-8am deadline in the UK, I've given everyone a chance to wake up 😉

    If any look wrong, let me know.

    Stage profiles are now available via the stage information link in the scroller.

    Dauphine Rider Values

    Ok, Dave, then the problem is the rider values… can you lower each riders value by 5% of their current value? 😕 I think that should do it, really… 🙂

    150 is plenty, there are loads of sub-20-credit riders that could conceivably score well. The problem comes when even the second and third string riders are at 20-25 credits, and there’s hardly anyone at less than 10, but that hasn’t been the case since last year’s TDF. Keep it up guys, looking good!

    I found loads of choice with 150 to play with, there is some value outside the stars and even within them.

    Michal Kwiatkowski (OPQ)
    Vincenzo Nibali(AST)
    Geoffrey Soupe (FDJ)
    Pierrick Fedrigo (FDJ)
    Thomas Voeckler (EUC)
    Vincent Jerome (EUC)
    Adam Yates (OGE)
    Peter Stetina (BMC}
    Jose Cayetano Sarmiento (CAD)

    You may find Soupe gets you in a pickle.

    Given he’s been removed from the roster.

    150 is tight on this one, but I suspect it will make the leaderboards a little more interesting rather than everyone having 7 of the same + 2 wildcards.

    Dave, you have to get this
    Dave, you have to get this budget thing under control… :W Here’s the 4 highest valued riders in this competition:

    40.0 Christopher Froome
    35.5 Michal Kwiatkowski
    33.2 Richie Porte
    32.9 Vincenzo Nibali
    3.0
    3.0
    3.0
    3.0
    3.0
    Total 156.6

    🙁 Won’t you please make it easy for fools like me to be able to fit in these 4 riders and 5 3.0 riders and call it ‘my team’? :”( Please? 🙁 . :”( I cry every night. 😕 Seriously. It affects me. I can’t sleep. I can’t make choices… :W I just want an easy way out of this incredible dilemma… I don’t care about winning… I just want a pretty team with the 4 highest valued riders in it and have it look pretty in the Top 500 in the rankings… 😀 :W

    I’m looking to set up a climbing team then ‘track back’ to introduce an extra TT’er who will come out on stage 2

    Froome
    Kwiatkowski
    Spilak
    Kangert
    Jungels
    VDB
    Coppel
    Berhane
    Larsson

    Provisional Purist

    Talansky
    Tejay
    Spilak
    Peraud
    Berhane
    Larsson
    Pozzato
