    I think the stage definitions for this race could do with another look. Is stage 1 really high mountains? The highest point in the stage is only 614m above sea level.

    I also think we could do with another level between flat and medium mountains (hilly?). Stage 7 – a circuit with repeated climbs of Montjuic (roughly 150m summit) is obviously not flat but mountains of any description is pushing it a bit.

    Salerno and Meier out front at the minute, no time gaps or details but apparently they’ve gone over the first climb ahead of the peloton.

    Picked Wiggo for purist and J-Rod for standard as i feel one of these will win overall.[/quote]

    I’d have gone the other way round as we’re pretty clear about J-Rod’s form but not Wiggo’s and you’ll be stuck with him if he’s using this as training or supporting Uran?

    My purists:

    J-Rod
    Valverde
    Jeannesson
    Elissonde
    Majka
    Domagalski
    Horner
    Spilak
    Fenn(last minute swap in for the non runner Matthews).

    My Standard:
    Valverde
    Jeannesson
    Elissonde
    Quintana
    Nocentini
    Meersman*
    Davis*
    Fenn*
    Dumoulin*

    The * denotes that they are coming out for stage 3 for climbers(and I’ll have enough credits to accomodate J-Rod and 14.9 for the remaining 3 spots!!)

    Feeling confident about this one(always a bad sign!!)
