    Im not counting my chickens, however Im hoping for a Kittel win, and at least expecting both him and Appollonio to top 5 and tie it up for me 😕 😉

    You’re probably right TER but
    You’re probably right TER but I put Bouhanni in to my standard team thinking he’s favourite for the stage win,along with Viviani,for Jeanneson and Sagan so watch out for the chrisdstripes then…….NeilG83 would probably need an unlikely looking Selig win,Alan Tullet a Banderia miracle or FluffChucker who has a lot of GC points.
    I wouldn’t be counting my chickens that’s for sure?

    I think barring something
    I think barring something bizarre for the finish of Oman then no one will catch me in the purist. In fact I think Chrisdstripes is the most likely to catch me as he has pretty much the same sprinters as me but also Bouhanni, but he would need a win from Bouhanni

    ToO after stage 5:NeilG83 is
    ToO after stage 5:NeilG83 is not giving up the ghost and is just 24 pts short of Forum’s Scorum’s Oman leader Wig_Billy….reminiscent of Froomey trying to chase down Purito atop green Mountain!! It’s a similar looking thing in the purist division but this time NeilG83 is chasing down TERatcliffe’s 17pt lead.

    Algarve after stage 2:obutterwick and I remain tied in the lead for the Forum’s Scorums Volta Ao Algarve so it looks as though we BOTH stuck with the same teams…..the key will be how we adapt for the hillier stage 3 and the ITT.Personally i took out my 3 sprinters(Boeckmans,Cav and Nizzolo)for 3 GC type team leaders(Kelderman,DeGendt and Henao) saving 3 transfers for the ITT tomorrow.NeilG83 leads the purists in Portugal from Dr Heaton but with 35 points between the overall top 10 both races are up for grabs.

    In the Overall Forum Scorum’s league it’s as you were for the top 7 with Wig_Billy holding a massive 330 pt lead over Alan Tullett with NeilG83 rounding out the podium position……simon F climbed 2 spaces into the top 10.Its a lot squakier in the Purist overall but it’s also Wig_Billy leading(by 43pts)GKam84.

    Well after the 1st stage of Algarve and it’s myself(ray silvester) and obutterwick leading in the FS standard….mighty impressive from NeilG83’s purist team though to be third overall and tops in purist for the Volta of Algarve.

    If nothing else it got me my high rollers badge and in homage to that I’ll be sticking with my team for stage 2….although to be fair I want 4 transfers for the lumpy stage 3!!

    In the Overall FS table it’s obutterwick that’s moved into 4th spot at the expense of chrisdstripes with the rest remaining neutralised…Wig_Billy still holds the purist top spot.

    My Algarve team is very sprinter heavy, so I expect I’ll be a bit behind the people who picked Machado & Costa from the start.

    After ToO Stage 4:
    It really is time to send Wig_Billy to doping control as he goes into the Forum’s Scorum’s Tour of Oman lead on countback from NeilG83 whilst TERatcliffe won the battle of the purists atop Green Mountain(or rather chrisdstripes lost it with just 7 pts scored) to lead in that division…..although there are 3 other teams still within 30 pts of him.

    The Top 4 overall in the Forum’s Scorum’s league shows no change(Wig_Billy leading) but the big mover was chrisdstripes redeeming himself by moving up 3 places to 5th and into the elite 6 team group with 2K badges.No prizes for guessing that Wig_Billy still leads the purists with GKam hanging in there.

    Will our very own Wig_go make a slip up in Algarve…..it seems to me that his original selections have been consistently strong so far?

    For me it’s all about Nibali….he’s ALWAYS in decent condition and should always be rated at about 35 credits,any less and he’s a bargain any more and he’s too expensive?

    Peter Sagan (LIQ)
    Tony Gallopin (RSN)
    Nacer Bouhanni (FDJ)
    Andrea Pasqualon (COG)
    Martin Elmiger (IAM)
    Alberto Contador (SAX)
    Marko Kump (SAX)
    Davide Appollonio (ALM)
    Danny Van Poppel (VCD)

    this lot are more puncheurs than climbers, so lets hope contandor doesn’t kill them all off too soon
    I thought froome might do well tomorrow, but had doubts after his showing on stage 3…is he saving himself for tomorrow….will porte & wiggo lead him up at the usual high speed?? If so, I reckon Contador will pip him at the post.

    After ToO Stage 3:
    Well it

    After ToO Stage 3:
    Well it looks like a Battle-Royale atop Green Mountain for chrisdstripes and TERatcliffe who are separated by just a point in the Forum’s Scorum’s Tour of Oman purist division.
    NeilG83 leads the standard teams but I reckon that one may all come down to Contador?
    Interesting that FOUR of the top 8 teams are purist!!

    Obviously the overall Forum’s Scorum’s league does not share this trend and we have to look all the way down to 18th for our leading purist…..Wig_Billy who is also Forum’s Scorum’s standard overall Maillot Jaune.

    So how do your teams look like for Green Mountain?

    Mine are

    Standard:Sagan,Nibali,Contador,Pasqualon,Marcato,Elmiger,Dempster,Jeanneson,DiCorrado.

    Purist:Elmiger,Boonen,Gilbert,Velits,Nibali,Jeanneson,Porte,Tschopp,Bookwalter……NO Sagan :&

    Algarve starts tomorrow too…..how are we reading that one?
    2 sprints,a tough uphill finish and then Tony Martin wins the TT and overall?

    Any little ‘Pork N Cheese’ gems in amongst the wildcards?

    My Tips for overall are Westra and Kwiatkowski but then my last tips were Rogers and Talansky for the TourMed :O
