DAMN GAME.

    Barring catastrophic underperformance, Cav should really be first name on the roster for everyone’s purist. No other rider is a likely to bag multiple stage wins, nor get as many sprint points thus consistent scoring even in high mountians. I’d even expect OPQS to do alright in the TTT. Even at his high price, he’s still a bit undervalued.

    He’d only consider dropping, I think, if he (or his train 😕 ) performs disappointingly in the first few flat sprints, putting him out of contention for the overall points jersey.

    So – pick Cav. Unless, that is, you’re doing some silly experiment of picking only Andean mountaineers…

    Not so sure that OPQS will do so well in the TTT this time without Martin,Chavanel and Velits to tow them around?

    No Cav in my purists……although my standards will have him for stage 1.

    Yep – thats what I’m intending – just trying to talk myself out of it – I don’t think he is as obvious a choice as you do though! I haven’t checked the details, but I’m sure last year the top 4 or 5 GC guys all outscored the top sprinter (Cav) in terms of fantasy points…

    By the way, for the record my Purist team would have been:

    Cav
    Nibali
    Gesink
    Navardauskas
    Scarponi
    Aru
    Chalapud
    Mezgec
    Berard (or Azanza; I like to include a Basque for good luck)

    Might’ve bottled my Colombian idea…

    Could possibly set up a separate free account and just do that as purist for the Colombians. I just reckon I’ve got a decent idea of a good team.

    OK, I should probably stick with the more fun option. Besides, surely Scarponi can’t win anyway…?

    No doubt one will be done today and another tomorrow to tidy up any last minute changes. If Dave doesn’t get chance I’ll have a look over lunch.


    Yes, I assumed you would be doing last minute updates. I just wanted to give anybody who had Basso in their plans a bit of a forewarning. Thanks for the hard work. Looking forward to Saturday, the Giro is definitely my favourite race of the calendar.

    I don’t know if the game
    I don’t know if the game roster has been fully updated. If not could I just point out that Ivan Basso has had to pull out and has been replaced by Damiano Caruso.
