Looking at the profile i Looking at the profile i might be tempted to go purist for the first time. As with other comments i cant see many sprinters wanting to have a go at this race as its just climb after climb.
My team at the mo consists of
1 x brit
3 x anzacs
1 x yank
2 x froggies
1 x portugese
1 x dutchman
its far from set in stone but a good base to start with.
A brit
German

Yank, might get pts if. Cadel wins
Frog, a expensive ds
Another yank, the one to go for if he has got over calif.
Two aussies
And a dutchman.
Only 107 xpent on stars. Going for ds who can time tria
so you think you know my guy so you think you know my guy then? My stars total 118.something as i cant remember off hand exactly how much one of my stars costs. Also got a potential breakaway guy in for the ITT (forced on by my funds, along with 4 other ITT DS’s 2 of which could contend overall i reckon
Stage one might not be so Stage one might not be so sprinty, but there is a chance of it, more likely a LONG break reeled in on the last climb and everyone finishing together
Stage 3 is the only real chance of a sprinter winning, but most teams don’t send “sprinters” to this race as its well known for being a climbers paradise.
Yeah, pretty hilly and two Yeah, pretty hilly and two TTs (ok, one’s a prologue), I reckon you could actually play this purist and not do too badly. I think maybe stages 1 and 2 will be the big days for the fantasy game as getting a decent haul of breakaway KoM points will set you up well for the rest of the race.
Gonna wait to see the Gonna wait to see the profiles for stages 1 & 3 – I’m assuming they’ll be sprinty but best to be sure. I’m on holiday next week so not sure my girlfriend will want me to be checking my transfers every day – maybe I’ll do this one purist…
Hmm, just found them on Velowire – maybe not so sprinty…
