    Well, if the race is anything like last year there may be very (!) few DSs that score in the top 20 (!). Ben Hermans is the only current DS I can see that scored any significant points last year. He came in 7th. Bram Tankink came in 19th and Fabian Wegmann 20th.

    I feel 2 of my star riders are risks, especially compared to what the rest of you will go for. And one of my DS is a risk too.

    I’m very happy with my star riders, although I am tempted to go with one gamble. The only headache I’ve got is deciding which cheap domestiques to pick for all three races. 😕

    Agree with obutterwick – I’m happy with my team but Chavanel is the one I’m annoyed to have to leave out, feels like he’s due. No idea if he can cope with the steep hills, but he seems really strong…

    I think he could top 20, but defo wont win, thus think there are better prospects worth more of a risk than freire

    Never rule him out. He’s in decent form and performed well in AGR last year. His 2nd in Brabantse Pilj bodes well, but the big guns are coming back and it’s hard to ignore the likes of Gerrans, Rodriguez etc. think it’s only a matter if time before Chavanel shows his capabilities this season, too.

    Sergio Luis Henao (SKY)
    Samuel Sanchez (EUS)
    Joaquin Rodriguez (KAT)
    Ryder Hesjedal (GRM)

    Bert de Waele (LAN)
    Joost Posthuma (RSN)
    Gianni Meersman (LOT)

    Slight problem to work on
    Slight problem to work on over the next couple of days:

    Got enough points to pick J-Rod but would like to have Gerrans as i think he may well do something, but it means sacrificing J-Rod…dilemma is who do i go for 😕

    My other picks are set in stone so dont want to start mixing the team up as they are nearly all in for Fleche Wallone and L-B-L.

    Decisions decisions……………

    So you can work out your team before hand 😉

    Also a question about a sky rider, I know the game has the name right, but why don’t the official sites?

    Sergio Luis Henao Montoya, Listed in the game as Sergio Luis Henao, but on the startlists as Mauricio Henao 😕

    Where does Mauricio come into it? I see no mention of it on Wiki or Sky’s site
