    I thought i would get things going for the race on Saturday.

    I appreciate its still a few days away but the forum has gone strangley quiet so i thought it could be given a boost.

    Team wise its a climber / all rounders stage and with only about 6 points between Wiggo and J-Rod for No1 in the world it could be exciting stuff.

    Well my team is fecked. I took Contador out lastnight. Kept Gilbert in.

    I trusted the start list that was up last night and ended up with Rolland……Why didn’t I not even see Europcar were not riding this one? and I picked a non riding cheap DS to fit the rest of my team X(

    Pointless when the startlist is only updated on the morning of the race……………

    Pierre Rolland
    Joaquin Rodriguez
    Giovanni Visconti

    If it’s by Gilbert(or indeed any of my other riders)then that would be a good result.

    Have I misread how
    Have I misread how treacherous the final descent is?

    No-one else seems to be going for the likes of Nibali or those other arch-descenders SammySanchez or Cunego?

    Had Pinot early on, then read Cycling news article which cemented his place.
    Slagter was a late pick lastnight, wanted a rider who i’ve had before and know can do well! :B

    Gilbert and Contador are my main foils. Contador says he is going for it and even if he dosen’t win he’ll not give up.

    livestrongnick, I like the cut of your jib B-) I had to squeeze out Pinot and Slagter but they are two riders I’d love to see doing well.

    I’ve gone for

    Finish appears to be a
    Finish appears to be a daredevil descenders paradise and when that’s the case I always look at Nibali….that plus decent form and racing in his own country meant he was number 1 on the team sheet.

    Nibali
    Gilbert
    Pozzato
    Henao
    Santambrogio
    Betancurt
    Tiralongo
    Pinot
