    Result for “The Guv’nor” Dave
    Result for “The Guv’nor” Dave Atkinson who took pink in the Forum’s Scorum’s Giro D’Italia on the opening day in Naples….in fact he took the stage in the entire game….he’ll be ‘pumped’ with that!!.Alan Tullet’s purist squad took a podium badge and leads that classification.

    TERatcliffe…..Gotcha in the Overall!! I reckon we could be in for a bit of a ding-dong battle right across ‘The Boot’?

    I feel so much better now, thanks drh!

    My purist team has 2 GC favourites, 3 good value climbers and 3 cheap guys, leaving me 35ish credits. So a top sprinter like Cav/Goss, or a third GC favourite?

    There aren’t a huge number of definite sprint stages, but there might not be any really decisive GC stages until the second week either, so I’m stumped as to what would be the better pick… :?

    It’s a tough call, there are potentially 5-7 sprint stages (stages 1, 6, 12, 17 & 21 possibly stages 5 and 16 at a push) plus with the TTT Cav may be a good shout but compare that against the number of mountains stages and the potential for GC points and a mid-level GC guy may be a better choice. It could go either way.

    I reckon Cav is an expensive banker but he should score well, someone like Pozzovivo though may score more but is less reliable.

    For my team, I have two slots to fill, I’m looking at picking up a rider for 20-25 credits and another for 5-10.

    My options are

    At 20-25 credits – Degenkolb (or Kiserlovski/Uran/Pozzovivo if I want a climber or Viviani/Nizzollo as other sprint options) and

    At 5-10 credits – Aru (or Rujano/Atapuma/Appollonio/Sioutsou are other options at that price)

    I could make most combinations of two of those work and I don’t know what to go for. I don’t see Degenkolb winning more than one stage against opposition like Cavendish and Viviani so maybe not him but Pozzovivo doesn’t look in form, Kiserlovski had a poor last TT at the TdR and Uran is backup. At the lower price Atapuma/Rujano are ‘team leaders’, Appollonio is second choice sprinter behind Belletti and Aru/Sioutsou are DSs who may only score by keeping up with their leaders (Aru has a better chance of that as I see Sioutsou being used early in the day).

    No idea what to do.

    At 23 at the mo so some serious work needed 🙁

    I’m very happy to still be in the top 10 after a bad run of scores in Tour de Romandie.

    The Giro is going to be quite difficult as it is less formulaic and predictable than the Tour. Just look at the first 3 days: flat stage then a team time trial followed by a medium mountains stage.

    Purist is the one that’s
    Purist is the one that’s likely to change most over the next month. A bad purist campaign can drop you back 1000 point or more one someone who has a good one.

    At last year’s Vuelta I scored 2065 points to finish 2nd overall in the purist comp, at the Giro and TdF I scored 832 and 903 respectively.

    A bit of bad luck, a single missed pick, or just missing particular riders can lose you 500+ points over a grand tour easily 🙁

    Could be some big changes in the next few weeks, especially in the purists – I’m not at all confident! Although for a minute there I misread the scores and thought NeilG was only 3 points behind me…

    As expected the three purist
    As expected the three purist teams at the front of the Forum’s Scorum’s Tour Du Romandie peloton got shelled during stage 1 proper and it was KeejayOV who took the lead…..without Meersman!!Bravo was his star man in the break and that gives him an advantage over obutterwick who seems to be returning to a bit of form.fluffchucker is the best placed of the purists now.
    Fair to say that the shadow of Wig_Billy looms large in 3rd.

    The Forum’s Scorum’s Overall saw TERatcliffe pull alongside ray silvester for joint 4th(don’t worry….he’s just bringing up my drinks!!)and Jonas Lorenzen skid past stevemarks for 8th.Honourable mention to simon F who scored 91 on the stage climbing 3 places to 11th.

    Wig_Billy’s lead is a massive 669 standard and 506 purist
