    I thought the plan of having riders 6,7,8 and 9 as cheap guys from good TTT teams was going to be a bright idea but it seems everyone’s at it……although I can’t help thinking there’s another minor tactic being missed which 6 of mine pander to(most who know me will know what that is)?


    Young riders maybe?

    Off for a ride now so – revelation for your collective ass:

    Cavendish
    Ferrari
    Bouhanni
    Degenkolb
    Bennati
    Blythe
    Zandio
    Taborre
    Mezgec

    Final two are just 3.0 punts. Zandio’s in for the TTT. All-out sprint otherwise. Not sure what my plan is for transfers after this (other than bringing in another Sky person tomorrow) but hoping for a decent score today.

    Anyone found any Neapolitan home-town heroes to select?

    Been as though im off to work
    Been as though im off to work and can’t change it, I may as well post it. I don’t really know what ive done with my team, but got one eye on the TTT. Also one eye on stage 8 with Phinney as he could also contest some of the MM stages. Same with Haas for MM stages, and even Wynants and Gavazzi to a degree. Wynants as blanco have no sprinter

    Cav
    Bouhanni
    Ferrari
    Nizzolo
    Phinney
    Haas
    Zandio
    Wynants
    Gavazzi

    Will name my purist after the stage

    I have some stronger rouleur
    I have some stronger rouleur type sprinters for the mountains but no GC guys from the start, and I am panicking a bit.

    I seem to have a lot of Italians on my wish list, wondering if I can get a full stallion team together at some point. Is Wiggio Italian? 😉

    You’re right, it’s difficult
    You’re right, it’s difficult with the TTT in the mix… at the moment my team is Cav plus a bit of a gamble with a few guys that could do OK in the MM stages too… but that could all change 🙂

    I have 2 possible teams and can’t decide which to go for. Mostly due to the TTT on Sunday. Annoying.
