    Stumps

    With only 3 days till the race starts are we going to get it opened before the end of the weekend. Impatient i know but i’m at work Monday and the kids of an evening makes it kind of difficult.

    I had Morabito at one point, but then I didn’t know what to do with the credits I saved, so went Capecchi instead. I really don’t know what Im doing with this tbh. My standard team no looks a mess and my purist an even bigger mess

    Grivko is an interesting one,
    Grivko is an interesting one, he looks good and does well in prologues but seemed a bit expensive so I was wary.

    I’m surprised more people haven’t gone for Morabito in their purists. At 8.5 credits he’s cheap and apparently he’s designated BMC leader so I’m hoping for good things!

    From a point of view of picking a team this race has been awful but I think from a fantasy cycling point of view once it gets under way it’s going to be great, lots of different teams, lots of potential riders, no obvious results to the first three road stages (is it a sprint, is it a small bunch sprint, is it a GC day, is it a breakaway?!) and then a ma-hoosive mountain stage running into a final TT makes it very difficult to plan.

    I’d got in mind to make two changes after today picking either people who’ve done well in the prologue and are cheap or people who’ve done poorly in the prologue as a pre-cursor to going on a break, then leave my team as it is before making 3/4 changes before the mountains and as many as I’ve got left for the TT but I get the feeling I’m going to be chasing my tail over the next few days trying to keep up with however the race plays out.

    I have no idea what to expect
    I have no idea what to expect from my team today or throughout this race, it’s too hard to predict.

    I’ve gone with:

    Froome
    Martin
    Porte (just for today, think I might regret this)
    Gesink
    Frank
    Majka
    Dennis
    Wyss (M)
    Van Rensburg

    Only the first five are picked for today with the rest just being week long filler. Plan is to drop Frank and one of Martin/Froome/Porte/Gesink depending on how they do today (and how many GC points they’ll through the next three stages) and pick up some sprinty types.

    Purist is:

    Froome (who’ll win)
    Martin (who’ll wear the leaders jersey for three days and win two stages)
    Gesink (who’ll podium)
    Tshcopp (who’ll drop loads of time and go for the KoM)
    Spilak (who’s boring)
    Morabito (who’s Swiss)
    Majka (who can climb)
    Landa (who will get in breaks)
    Rensburg (who was cheap)

    Not a good omen! not this year, but maybe next year they could outbid everybody for the big races. Still there’s always streaming.

    Just a note that everyone should check their teams as a few possible TT contenders have dropped out including Phinney and Sergent.
