    What a beautiful thing this

    What a beautiful thing this Giro! 🙂 I missed half of it live, but I read the race reports and watched the highlight videos for the three weeks. 🙂 I’m tempted to do my ‘Best Purist Team’ exercise, :), but I’m short on time 🙁 Loved it! Beautiful competition!  🙂 Thanks to Dave and TER! 🙂 And Gkam… 🙂

    Great ride by the man today! Good job of picking him! How do you know him? 🙂

     

    I’m Slovenian, small country, easy to keep track of teams / riders and get info that’d get lost on bigger scenes. Half of my family also comes from the home city of Adria Mobil, the team that discovered him, so, being a big fan, I followed his career closely from the start. Apparently his numbers were really good even when he was still an amateur. Former ski-jumper, very light with lots of power. He was destroying amateur races before he got picked up.

    I went with safe picks for my Standard team, but I put him in my Purist because there are several stages I figured he could do good on, including the mountain TT. His performance today surprised me too though. I figured a top 20 on a windless day was possible, maybe top 10 since he said in a recent interview he feels really strong and since he’s riding for a Dutch team, so he gets solid TT training. But then, with Fabian being ill and a couple of the big guys dropping their bikes on that corner… well, it turned out amazing. 

    If he gets through the early flat stages without crashes, he could do good in week 2. Not sure about week 3 since he’s never done a race this long before.

    Can someone answer this ? I can’t find anything either way and my purist team might need changing

     

     

    yes, clearing up this scoring issue could be quite fundamental to team selection before the off!
