    Is there any other purist who has a team for the Tour de Suisse? Looks like I’m the only one. :/
    Most of the purists have still their Giro squads, even the leader. Just a few have Dauphine or combined squads.
    I chose my tds team because I think it’s just not realistic if you have a mixed team. Besides that there’s one stage more at tds. It would be better if we could have two teams.
    Here’s my team: Klöden, Henderson, Mollema, Sagan, Velits, Bookwalter, Froome, Caruso & Poels.

    Yes, that would be good. Or
    Yes, that would be good. Or at least be able to transfer riders in for the remaining stages of the TdS once the Dauphine has finished.

    Yeah. That’s the way it
    Yeah. That’s the way it goes.
    We had to decide whether we prefer the Dauphine or the TdS. Another possibility was to create a combined squad with riders of both races.
    So if you chose a team only consisting of Dauphine riders, you can’t score at TdS.
    That’s why my suggestion for next year is at least for us purists to be allowed to start with 2 teams: 1 for the Dauphine and 1 for the TdS.

    Bugger. My only hope then is that a couple of my riders pull out of the Dauphine before it finishes and decide to ride the TdS instead.

    I went for a mainly Dauphine squad (as they were all confirmed starters) with Cancellara and Frank Schleck from the ‘probable’ TdS lineup.

    Picking a TdS purists squad is just too hard a week before anyone even knows who’s riding. The only reason I picked a mixed squad rather than totally CdD was because Cancellara is a fair shoe-in to get the Prologue win and hold the leaders Jersey for a few days at least.
