    Hmm interesting on Cunego
    Hmm interesting on Cunego Ray, he never really factored in for me, had I wanted just 1 sprinter and not 2 then he would have slotted into my purists quite nicely. I spent the extra 4 credits and went with Quintana

    My standard team is set up for a sprint finish amongst the strong men, Ratto is my tip for days 1 and 2 after his performance in fridays 1 day race. Then I will have 4 transfers to set me up for the summit finishes

    Impey
    Ratto
    Vichot
    Wegmann
    Cardoso
    Fuglsang
    Spilak
    Talansky
    Contador

    Purists has a decent balance between potential winners for each of the first 4 stages, a possible breakaway and a some guys that can put in a decent ITT

    Talanksy
    Porte
    Peraud
    Sanchez
    Quintana
    Spilak
    Cummings
    Ratto
    Impey

    I’m opening up
    I’m opening up with

    Porte
    Sanchez
    Gilbert
    Cunego
    Fuglsang
    Txurruka
    Gerrans
    Gasparotto
    Ratto

    Purists:Contador,Sanchez,Landa,Gerrans,Herrada,Cobo,Martin,Cunego,Porte

    Got to say that I think Cunego’s the real bargain in this race?

    I think Choo-Choo in the opening break was the most obvious of the season so far 😀

    Plus Landa’s out there for my purists 😀 😀
