    And so, onto the next stop in this season’s world tour! Welcome to the inaugural UAE Tour, an amalgamation of the Abu Dhabi Tour and the Dubai Tour, this new race encompasses the best of both. On paper there looks to be something for everyone, with a couple of sprint stages, two summit finishes, a TTT and a couple for the rouleurs.

    There are 2 PCT teams in Novo Nordisk and Gazprom-RusVelo to go along with the 18 WT teams, and no one is pulling any punches it seems. The classics men might be absent as stage 7 clashes with Omloop, but on the start list are defending champion Valverde, Dumoulin, Roglic, Nibali, Kwiatkowski, Porte, and many other contenders. And the sprinters field is stacked with Bennett, Viviani, Ewan, Gaviria, Kittel, and Kristoff all going along.

    So what are you looking forward to? Who are you looking to pick above all others? All I’m hoping for are some crosswinds and carnage!

    The Tour Down Under was 10

    The Tour Down Under was 10 for 6 because in the past it’s been 2 transfers in between each stage. We might have done 2 more for Oman and Algarve because they aren’t counting, and a couple more transfers is a bit of fun. Happy to increase though if that’s the general consensus, still 2 days to go.

    That text might have been carried over when the competition was created Tony,  I can’t see it anywhere on the admin page. It’s something for Dave to fix.

    Just to clarify, this competition is absolutely counting to the season totals.

    Andy,

    Andy,

     again the info says “This competition doesn’t count towards any leagues”; it is a world tour event and I see you have ticked the boxes to score for the season standard and purist.

    Yes, 14 transfers for 7 stages would seem in order.

    we have had 2 per stage so

    we have had 2 per stage so far (e.g. 10 for 5 stages in Algarve, 12 for 6 in Oman). This is 12 for 7 stages, would be good to keep consistent.

    Just got around to picking my first drafts for this game.

    This race has a fantastic line up to say it’s a kind of a new race(?). So many really good picks without a P against their names in the Purist game as popular picks…Buchmann, Fraile, Gallopin…loads of them.

    Sheesh,

    Cruel. How can we possibly choose between Domoulin and Roglic….exactly the same price so we don’t even have the excuse of using the saving elsewhere.

    2 per stage is standard, we only increase for GTs and the classics.

    Given all the egos on the start line we might need those transfers just to swap out the carnage!
    Is this the first showdown between Viviani and Gaviria since the latter jumped ship?

    Seven stages and only 12

    Seven stages and only 12 transfers?

    Isn’t that a bit low?
