    True, but given how well
    True, but given how well Boonen does each year it seems that being a strong rider is more important than being a fast sprinter if you want to do well in the overall.

    That’s my decision, everything suggests a sprinters race but every year the stronger riders do well. In theory Cav should be unbeatable but I doubt it’ll work out that way.

    I’d rather Van Hummel than Flecha if anyone from Vacansoleil….consistent top tenner in the TDF sprints.

    I’m unsure whether to pick
    I’m unsure whether to pick Cancellara, Thomas or Flecha at any point this week. Each could have a go if the race breaks up but might not compete in the sprints. Flecha too should lose time in the TTT on the others if things go to form.

    I also reckon Velits is going to be a popular pick for Monday before being dropped by everyone đŸ˜€

    Everyone set for the
    Everyone set for the ToQ?

    I’ve got the following in my standard team

    Kruopis
    EBH
    Cav
    Modolo
    Guardini
    Bewley
    Velits
    Rasch
    Van Avermaet(what a bargain!!!)

    My big fears are Degenkolb(it was he or EBH) and Spartacus(coming in for the TTT) to be honest.

    I’ll reveal purist after stage 1(if anyone’s interested after a relative flop in Oz)

    My tactics. Get the riders I think can do something, then back them up with a cheap DS from the team đŸ‘¿

    Also, same tactics as the TdU, No home nation riders….SO no Qatar riders in my teams :B

    My tactics, pick four expensive sprinters then try and scrounge together a half decent selection of 5 DSs for less than 20 credits…

    I think that if Cav can finish in the OPQS first 5 he has a genuine chance of winning the overall?

    Purist wise it’s just a case
    Purist wise it’s just a case of picking the sprinters who’ll perform. Cavendish, EBH, Sagan or whoever, you need to pick the guys who’ll be top 5 each day. For the rest I agree, picking teammates of sprinters and TTT guys to try and pick up the odd points, not really going for breaks so much.

    Sprinters from teams that can TTT I reckon.

    Ive gone sprinters with my cheap guys from TTT teams for stage 1, then make my two transfers for the TTT for other TTT teams that should perform

    Purist is a whole other game đŸ˜•

    It’s a lame excuse to say
    It’s a lame excuse to say Kenny106 was too late to the party to be the winner. He got the points so he gets the jersey. I finished 56th overall so there are obviously plenty of people who would have drubbed us all if they’d been in the Forum mini league. I don’t know why they aren’t in it but there you go.

    I’m happy to have come top of the All Ireland vs Britain league, to be sure.

    Can’t wait for the next competition where my normal mediocrity will be resumed.

    While all are welcome,I think it’s only fair to award the Forum’s Scorums Overall TDU to Alan Tullett after a poor last stage for breakaway SteveMarks saw him lose his long term lead whilst GKam took the purist.

    I’m going to use and edit the first post to record winners of each of the competitions,hopefully we’ll be able to seperate them from the overall in the league pages.

    Completely fair Ray, I noticed that too

    Gkam’s purist team demolished my normal team, which shows how good his picks were
