    Today has got to get better, surely.

    493= and 74 Purist teams ahead of me so far. Worrying, but I guess understandable after yesterday’s stage which was tougher than I expected.

    The early good finish points and high standings for GC guys(Froome,Nibali etc) plus Sagan are putting purist teams pretty high up I reckon.

    I’m sitting =1560 standard and =910 on purist so don’t sweat it!!

    Kristoff and Greipel in

    Sagan(probably a massive blunder but couldn’t get those 2 in otherwise) and Modolo(DNF yesterday) out

    Greipel
    Kittel
    Kristoff
    Demare
    Navardauskas
    Pichot
    Paolini
    Bideau
    Haussler

    Modolo and Cav retired already…..how are your purist teams looking guys?

    My transfers were a disaster as I thought they might be!!

    no changes tomorrow

    Had Demare in from the start and Coquard for stage 2. Int sprint points are very significant in the tour, especially when you’re not sure what else will happen. Pity Bideau went out today as there were so few points but 15 is better than normal for an insignificant break. Probably Vachon tomorrow.

    Got 199 today and jumped 880 places! =D>
    Sagan Kittel Demare Coquard and Van Poppel with Bideau as well.

    Got 283 points on my roaduk team, but it wasn’t my doubling stage :”(

    Do we have a roaduk mini-league like last year?

    Yes we do Alan, its called Road.cc, password Roadcc

    I’ve gone to see the scores a couple of times in the last 15 minutes and I keep getting the ‘We’re Currently Updating’ screen… Anybody out there still entering scoring info or did the updating ‘hang?… Ooops… Never mind… I can see them now…

    Yeah; me too. Would’ve been even better had I not taken a twenty point penalty hit (including dropping Haussler to accommodate Demare…).

    No changes for tomorrow though 😀

    Watching the slomo after the stage you see Griepel sitting up whilst the rest were still going for it – mechanical or did he realise he had no chance of winning so gave up ??????

    Milan-San Remo winner
    Milan-San Remo winner has Alexander Kristoff (Katusha) has criticizedMark Cavendish’s sprinting style, suggesting the Omega Pharma-QuickStep rider “lost his head a little bit” as he tried to win the opening stage of the Tour de France in Harrogate. He went as far as comparing Cavendish to football player Luis Suarez, who has track record of biting opponents in the heat of the moment.

    I’ve got Kittel, Sagan, Demare, Kristoff, Haussler and Lemoine today as well as Bideau, Voss and Gerard. A win for BSE would be swell!!

    Thankfully no Cav or Modolo
    Thankfully no Cav or Modolo in mine; ummed and ahhed about both Nibali and Froome but in the end chose neither which now looks like a mistake. Might start a specific TDF purist thread to discuss these.

    Re. today, I was celebrating Bideau in the break, then realised I don’t actually have him, I have Vachon #o

    For t’sprint, my big miss is Greipel who I couldn’t afford to include. Instead I have Sagan, Demare, Coquard, Kristoff and Kittel.

    Anyone got Viviani? Haven’t really given him any thought but he should really fancy this stage for a podium at least.

    Purist looking v poor, lost both of them.

    I have someone in the break for the first time in months. Shame no points on offer until the intermediate sprint which is miles down the road.
