    I figured I'd pull this into a separate thread:

    [quote=drheaton]Here's a game for you then, pick three Italians for 50 credits or less, combined fantasy score at the end of the race wins. Only riders making it to the end of the race count, if your's quits mid race, they get no points 👿 [/quote]

    Think if you did the Home Counties it would give you a bigger range of riders :B 😉 as you could throw in riders from Surrey and Berkshire etc in to the mix

    I think Pinot will outscore everybody….unless TiVo has a blockbuster day like last year where he crests 4 Cat 1’s first and wins the stage?

    Three Frenchmen should also be more varied because you don’t have such an obvious high scorer as Nibali was for the Giro.

    How about three riders born in The low Counties.?

    The Low CountRies would probably be good for Spring Classics or such?

    I hope I don’t have my math
    I hope I don’t have my math wrong, but I think the 3 best teams for this competition would have been:

    No. 1
    Vicenzo Nibali
    Giovanni Visconti
    Franco Pellizotti

    No. 2
    Giovanni Visconti
    Mauro Santambrogio
    Stefano Pirazzi

    No. 3
    Vicenzo Nibali
    Giovanni Visconti
    Rafael Andriato

    So I win…..right?

    It was about amassing the smallest number of points from your three riders over the Giro? 😕

    I could really use a new pair of socks, old pair are starting to wear through :B

    Yes, and finally something from Modolo. I messed this one up big time. Aru was a disappointment.

    Well, now that you mention it… 😀
