    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]

    Nibali (30.0) No surprise
    Nibali (30.0) No surprise there 😐
    S. Pirrazzi (15.6) To offset all the Santambrogio picks 😕
    Bongiorno (3.0) His name sounds ball bouncingly funny 😀

    Thats why I went for Salerno – that, and the fact that its more fun to pick someone random. Just tried to put a quid on Salerno for the KOM, expecting 200/1 or something, but he didn’t even have odds listed! He’d better not win it now…

    I meant Giampaolo, the one I can afford. I can’t edit above so, for clarity, my three are:

    Michele Scarponi, Filippo Pozzato and Giampaolo Caruso


    Oh yeah – the other one’s WAY too expensive! All those young rider points he got last year I guess…

    Also, anyone know who’s leading Katusha for the Giro?

    Also, djb123, I assume it’s Giampaolo Caruso you’ve picked as Damiano doesn’t fit in your budget 😀
