    After a relatively poor Giro…I was thinking how difficult (or easy) would it be to pick a team of “no-hopers”
    e.g. for the Tour de France pick a purist team that that scores the fewest points
    But you have to use up all of the available credit (or leave less than 5)
    (no 3.0 riders throughout!)

    Elle the Crab -looks like you
    Elle the Crab -looks like you have 6 riders
    You just need to pick 5
    So a re-shuffle is required…

    I think this is just an excercise in hatred for riders who have disappointed us in the past but I’m all in for that with bells on. Fuck you, Robert Gesink! You’re not even in my losers team!

    I think the 78 – 80 points is great, it makes you think rather than just plopping a load of cheapo’s in.
    There are some cracking riders in the teams so far and its quite difficult picking a rider from one of the big teams as they all have leaders who are capable of winning a stage which means a bonus to all the riders in that team, its going to be a fun comp.
