    Transfer window has just slammed shut, right on my fingers 😀

    So i thought i’d share with you my thought process and REAL team

    Mark Cavendish (SKY) Obvious aint it?
    Mark Renshaw (RAB) Can push Cav all the way
    Tom Boonen (OPQ) Figured in most stages last year
    Denis Galimzyanov (KAT) Did well last year in the top 10 on 4/5 stages
    Nikolas Maes (OPQ) Best young rider last year
    Roger Kluge (1T4) 9th in the points and top 10 3/5
    William Clarke (CHA) Break away’s
    Gabriel Rasch (FDJ) 7th last year, hoping for better
    Dominique Rollin (FDJ) 3/5 stages top 10 and 8th in points last year

    Also have a little spare so i can bring in my guys for the TTT, BUT if you want to see my chopping and changing mind, look here, some of them were before i knew the rosters

    Looks like I’m playing catch up already in the N. Wales league. :(

    You are lucky – since I live in Aberystwyth, and due to the addition of a ‘mid wales’ league – I have moved over today and so you should be top. Call it a little xmas present from me.

    Here is my team for today – the reason why I picked this bunch of riders is a secret!

    Adam Hansen in a solo break, apparently.

    Squiggle

    I said Bauer “might” be in
    I said Bauer “might” be in the top 10 after the TTT. I’d expect him to be 2nd or 3rd Garmin rider over the line today so if Garmin win the TTT then he’ll be top 10. To be honest I only put him in because I could afford him and thought that Farrar might win today and I wanted the bonus points. Obviously my dream scenario regarding these riders is if BMC win (and on a short, technical, course with a powerfully stacked team including Gilbert, Hushovd, and Phinney I think they have a good shot). I also reckon Garmin, Sky, BMC, and RNT will fight out the TTT between them. Of course then there is always finish bonus seconds to consider which I haven’t! hmmm.

    Squiggle, you know its a TTT
    Squiggle, you know its a TTT TEAM time trail, so I highly doubt Hushovd, Phinney and Bauer all being in the top 10

    hot tip for you squiggle….Hushovd will not be in the top 5 after the TTT

    He might be if BMC win the TTT, but 2010 doesn’t bode well, it must be said, or if he wins today and BMC finish less than the time bonuses for today behind the winners(Sky)
