    My current team for the prologue is the following one:

    Wiggins 38.4
    T.Martin 38.4
    Leipheimer 22.6
    Viviani 10.9

    Porte 14.4
    Gretsch 9.9
    Engoulvent 7.7
    Kreder 3.2
    Astarloza 2.5

    Total 148

    There are another interesting riders like Van Garderen, Kloden, Brajkovic…

    Which is your team?

    My stars total exactly 100
    My stars total exactly 100 and my DS’s 49.5 but i think i have a good balance as a couple of my DS’s could easily have been star riders to be honest

    what if he replaced another rider and did race? Would he just be ‘ungrayed out’ and participate normally?

    yes

    you’ll score whatever your
    you’ll score whatever your team. assuming some of your riders get points. if you want you can have a full team of non-participating riders. don’t bother me đŸ™‚

    Not sure how it works this
    Not sure how it works this year

    But last year you needed all riders to be active for the first stage or your team was invaild and you scored 0, But he’s only a sub and unless something happens today, he will not be riding

    Technical question. I can’t see Kreder on the start list for the game. At least as a rider ‘Riding the next stage’. But what if I put Kreder in my team, by searching for all riders – not just the ones racing in the next race – and added him to my team? I suppose he’d be grayed out, but would my team still be valid? and what if he replaced another rider and did race? Would he just be ‘ungrayed out’ and participate normally? Just wondering…

    My Stars are 112.4 with my DS
    My Stars are 112.4 with my DS being 31.9

    I don’t have a team mate of who I think might win, but I have a team mate of the other one who I think has a chance at winning, but i’ve had my team set for weeks now, not going to change it unless there are pull outs

    If my team is all right after the ITT, It might stay the same until the end, because I think I also have the three podium guys for the end of the race

    Ahha here lies the problem…
    Ahha here lies the problem… I can’t shoehorn in anyone without sacrificing some of my DS riders, and I think this time I might have a good balance. My stars total 100.9 and my DS total 48.6. Sod it I’m going to stick, can’t win without some risks!

    Actually you’ve got a fair point there… 93 points for top 2 versus 94 points for 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th. So if I can shoehorn in another good rider then it makes more sense to go for the first option. Going to have another look at it…

    It’s not Mollema. Not worried
    It’s not Mollema. Not worried about not having the stage 1 winner as I have 2 of his team mates and one of them at least is going to smash it. Also have a team mate of 2nd placed rider not just incase he wins but because he’s also going to smash it! I think I have 4 top 7 prologue guys in my star picks, I can’t afford the winner without sacrificing one of them so I think it’s worth it not to pick him for stage 1.

    Well I’ve managed to pick the winner in every first stage this year but I’m not going for either the winner or 2nd placed rider this time as I can’t afford them. Interestingly my very first no-brainer pick was someone that nobody has mentioned yet, think he could well smash a top 5 TT and overall podium, let the guessing games begin… :?

    Problem Squiggle is the Winner of the first stage is worth more than the winner of any other stage.

    You get 35pts for win + 10pts for leading GC + 5pts for points jersey + possible young riders & KOM points.

    So realistically 50% bonus for picking 1st stage winner (over any other stage except when GC changes hands) and if he stays in your team on the 2nd day (predicted sprint finish day) good chance of solid GC & sprint jersey points for that day too.

    I am with TERatcliffe26 Blake Mollema, but he is expensive this year.

    My form guide for this prologue is the Tour de Suisse prologue, last two years, very similar profile.
