    Not sure if you've seen it but in case you lot haven't, I've challenged TERatcliffe this year to pick a squad of riders and try and run a 'proper' fantasy team through the season.

    We'll both be blogging about it through the year and the first posts are up (/blog).  Anyway, you lot are free to pick your own squads too and keep us all informed of how you're doing either on here or in the blog comments.  I've set up a league and if you've got any questions, let me know.

    EDIT

    If you want to take part the list of rider values you'll need is here http://db.tt/1rO7IFhq and check out my post here /content/blog/74271-big-unveil for rules etc.

    RUNNING UPDATE:

    World Tour Points – 1037 total / 851 based on top 5 riders

    Fantasy points total: 2583

    I dropped Westra as I don’t see him doing much today and Van Rensburg might sprint if Degenkolb isn’t there (or get 5 pts for a Degenkolb win).

    Fine. The 150 would have meant you dropping 1 or 2 riders today, which is not exactly fair, given you only have 7 anyway. Albeit possibly 7 of the top 10.

    Speaking of which are we using the 150 points limit? I’ve only been taking it into account on the non premium races where I’m setting up on the girlfriend’s account, I haven’t bothered adding up otherwise. It did affect PN since that was why I dropped Iglinsky.

    And are we doing the Classics purist? I.e. whoever we pick today limits who we have in Tour of Flanders and Roubaix?

    No the 150 points doesn’t apply as we already picked the squad on a tight budget, and many races we haven’t had full teams or only just full teams

    No not purist, its easier just doing it separate, and it makes it better for WT points anyway, as real teams pick individually for each classic.

    I need your team for Gent
    I need your team for Gent Drheaton as you have a choice of at least 10 riders I think

    I have 7, Sagan, Gilbert, Degenkolb, Demare, Iglinsky, Nizzolo and Greipel

    I’ve been sat waiting for
    I’ve been sat waiting for Fuglsang to do something. . . . but it looks like he’s been talking to Roche about how to stay just high enough in the GC to not get fired without actually earning any points. Still always tomorrow, on several fronts.

    For Gent Wevelgem I make mine:

    Cav, Rasch, Appollonio, M Iglinsky, Hushovd, Schar, Cattaneo, Dowsett, Cancellara

    though opinions vary over whether Rasch or Puccio are riding for sky. The fantasy game is the only place I can find listing Puccio instead. Can;t see Rasch winning though, so it’s moot.

    Meanwhile TJ 3rd today in the Crit, with Cadel 45 seconds back in 74th, just ahead of Bouhanni. That looks good for TJ as (joint) leader.

    Depends on the weather, but I have no great hopes despite a long list of good riders.

    I know we’re not doing the Criterium International, but I’ve high hopes for that with TJ, Roy, Roux, JTL, Voigt, Schleck, Xandio, Riblon and Talansky riding which to me looks like a really strong line up. Should also see how TJ and Cadel are getting on, which is a major influencer on my TdF team leader decision. Let’s see some fireworks :evil:

    I hope Tejay wins as he is in my squad on a different fantasy game where the teams have budgets and contracts and he is my highest paid rider

    Can’t comment on Westra but Roche is Mr Consistently just outside the WT points… He’s turning in top 20 rides daily but seems to be riding within himself. The fact he and Sorenson are getting to the line together implies to me that maybe he’s just riding to see how everyone else’s form compares. Doesn’t seem to be pushing himself too hard. At least I’m hoping it’s tactical, and not just lacking an extra gear. I was hoping he’d be riding more like Dan Martin is this year, and it was a toss up for me which one of the two I picked. I’m not unhappy with him though.
