    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

    Mark Cavendish (SKY) PC
    Mark Cavendish (SKY) PC Value: 40.0
    Tyler Farrar (GRM) PC Value: 37.7
    Thor Hushovd (BMC)AR Value: 35.0
    Robert Wagner (RSN)PC Value: 10.1

    Domestiques
    Roger Kluge (1T4) DS Value: 3.1
    Frederik Willems (LOT)DS Value: 3.3
    Taylor Phinney (BMC) DS Value: 11.7
    Jacob Rathe (GRM) DS Value: 2.7
    Christian Knees (SKY) DS Value: 6.4

    this is who i have gone with, Was unsure on cav last night then missed the deadline this morning to change so hopefully all will work out for him today. Will most likely keep the same team for tomorrows TTT went for two sky, garmin and bmc riders and one garmin, i have a feeling that they will be the top 4 time trial teams tomorrow. and will take it from there

    Squiggle

    Hushovd: Because even if he
    Hushovd: Because even if he dosn’t win, one of his other team leaders might. Also because he’ll be in top 5 after TTT.
    Degenkolb: Because he was strong early season last year.
    Sagan: Because as nickobec says he’s Peter Sagan.
    Boonen: Historically good at Qatar, hope Chichi isn’t leader.
    Phinney: Because if Hushovd isn’t leader he might be. Also because he’ll be in top 5 after TTT.
    Guardini: Because he’s the next Italian sprint sensation.
    Kluge: Because he’s Degenkolb’s final leadout/ 2nd sprinter.
    Rasch: Because seabass89 gave me a hot tip.
    Bauer: Because he’s a strong guy and Farrar might win. Also he might be in the top 10 after TTT. Not to mention saving the world in 24 hours.

    Peter Sagan (LIQ) Value: 34.6
    Peter Sagan (LIQ) Value: 34.6 Because he is Peter Sagan
    Tom Boonen (OPQ) Value: 27.8 Winner here 2006, 2007, 2009, won last stage Tour de San Luis this week
    John Degenkolb (1T4) Value: 25.4 Young up and coming sprinter, peaked at end of year expect more as 1T4 look for invites.
    Denis Galimzyanov (KAT) PC Value: 20.0 Seriously undervalued sprinter, his performance last year in Tdf ranked him as one best sprinter in the pro peleton. No Griepel, sick Cav, so expecting wins for the big Russian.

    Francesco Chicchi (OPQ) Value: 10.2 good form here last year + Tour de San Luis (2 wins)
    Andrea Guardini (FAR) Value: 2.7 good form here last year + Tour de San Luis
    Mehdi Sohrabi (LOT) DS Value: 2.6 15 race wins last year (all pro-conti), no Griepel in Qatar, if Hendersen leads him out best 2.6 points every spent.
    Aaron Kemps (CHA) Value: 3.3 Ex Astana sprinter spent last 2 years winning on US pro-conti level.
    Dominique Rollin (FDJ) Value: 6.3 3 top 10 finishes here last year

    I don’t have a TTT strategy just swap in a couple on cheap RSN or GRM riders for Guardini and Kemps

    I did not pick Cav, because he is sick.
