    Ye or nae?

    5 WT teams going – AG2R (Vuillermoz, Geniez); Astana (Lopez, Bilbao); Bahrain Merida (Nibali); Bora (Majka); and Sky (Bernal, Froome). 9 PCT teams going, a Team Italy, and 5 local CT teams.

    5 stages total and 5 jerseys to give out: GC, points, KOM, sprints, and youth. Stages look interesting, no huge summit finishes, but nothing flat, and nothing hugely long.

    If we run it, I’ll need to add some riders in and re-jig the CT teams. It won’t count towards the season leagues, it’ll just be for fun.

    Obviously his form isn’t there, and neither should it be if he’s targeting the Tour, it’s all preparation for him. I’d be concerned if this was the Dauphine. Plus it was a scetchy descent, so why risk your main goal for the season by descending like Nibali.

    Having 2 team mates higher up the GC means he can ride his own race, rather than compete for the overall.

    Seemed odd that he was burned out on the way down. It was a tough climb so he did the hardest bit….he seems to be wandering into a series of excuse me’s…

    LOL. 

    152 points in my purist team.  52 in my standard. 

    Even given my usual ability to tinker with the standard team enough to wreck it, that’s impressive!

    It struck me that I had a good Standard day testerday, 2nd on the stage, and then looked at my Purist team which scored better and found that I was 20 places lower in the standings and realised that many of us should just have entered our Purist team. 

    I think the reson I did OK on Standard was I had so little idea how the first stage that the riders I thought would do OK acrosee the week were picked rather than trying to finesse a team for the first stage.

    I’m scoring the KOMs as per

    I’m scoring the KOMs as per the roadbook, and not our usual methods. I’ve mentioned it in the scoring notes. It’s just there are hardly any KOMs and only one sprint per stage, so I thought I’d reward the breakaway riders a wee bit more. It’s just a fun comp anyway.

    Seems that the breakaway

    Seems that the breakaway riders totals are slightly wrong;

                                      Sprint       KOM1     KOM2     Stage sp pts   Stage KOM points    TOTAL

    Krizek                        6                  2              2                  5                             4                                 19

    Kuen                          4                  0              1                  4                             3                                  12

    Gamper                    2                  1               0                 3                             2                                   8

    Dima                         0                   3              3                  0                             5                                  11

    I may have missed something, so my apologies if I am out of order. It’s probably not worth changing scores (the number of players with these riders is probably zero), but I thought I would mention it just in case there is an error in methodolgy, which could affect scoring in the later more critical stages.

    No matter Andy. It’ll still be a game of spot the differential…or two…

    It could all come down to whether stage 1 finishes in a sprint and if teams allow ‘helpers’ to have a go for it.

    I expect big teams will be disappointed with the field, there isn’t a lot of competition for GC so racing will not be hard enough for preparation purposes.

    It had a really good prospective line up initially…all gone. Even Froome is a strange one…he’s quite canny with his build up so may not put too much store in trying to win this one…just turn his legs over.
