    Just tried to sit down and pick a Purist team for the TdF and it's hard!

    Lots of high value riders, very few very cheap riders and not many bargains to be had, this is going to be a tough race to get right from a fantasy point of view.

    My thinking at the minute is Froome plus 1 high value rider (Sagan/Cavendish or maybe Contador/Voeckler) then some mid and low priced riders but there's not much quality lower down, might have to rethink and go for lots of mid-range guys…

    I was in a hurry posting that thread for an event, so I bumped it. The event is finished and I didn’t manage to get there.

    I am still looking for a lift though, so I edited the thread 👿 .

    Just because no-one replied
    Just because no-one replied yesterday, doesn’t mean you just edit it to bump it back up the list.

    I understand you may have had a word in your ear? Please listen to it 😉

    Ok, here I go again… It’s taken me a while, but, here’s my stab at what might have been the Best Purist Team Possible for the 2013 Tour! 🙂

    40.0 Peter Sagan
    28.8 Michal Kwiatkowski
    25.3 Nairo Alexander Quintana Rojas
    17.2 Marcel Kittel
    11.7 Mikel Nieve Ituralde
    9.1 Danny Van Poppel
    8.4 Christophe Riblon
    5.2 William Bonnet
    3.7 Julien El Fares

    For a total of 1881 points! Good enough to have come in No. 779 in the Overall Competition! With no transfers! 🙂

    You know, I could have never imagined a Purist Team without Froome on it! :/

    I always prefer a balanced team. Not having Froome is a risk though.


    As it turned out an unbalanced team seems to be the better choice. As I play with 2 purist teams I also made an unbalanced team which I’m quite content with now:
    Froome
    Sagan
    Quintana
    Vichot
    Cimolai
    Gadret
    Hoogerland
    Le Mevel
    Gutierrez

    If your ‘Lampre DS’ is Serpa then I expect him to go well today.

    Well, I hope so as he’s in my standard team but not my purist. Done ok with Sagan so far. Now Froome, Porte and Quintana have their chance.

    It’s NOT going too well when my Lampre DS’s are scoring way more points then my star rider (Froome; I don’t think Sky will be repeating last year’s success.

    I went all GC and climbers. I feel the only mistake was not picking Sagen. I think the out and out sprinters will ultimately score less. The test will be at the end of the Tour when we find out who scored more. Froome or Sagen 😕

    That was my plan initially – due to the high intermediate sprint points the sprinters can score on virtually every stage- but I panicked and brought in Froome and Talansky at the last minute. Will be interested to see if Cav/Kristoff will turn out to have been a better choice…

    The good thing about coppel
    The good thing about coppel loosing time is that they have to ride for Navarro in GC, who I think will top 15, and have some decent stage results

    Sky will be fine, Froome and Porte are strong TTers as are EBH, Kiriyenka and Kennaugh.

    EBH in yellow tomorrow.

    Sky and Froome better start pulling their collective fingers out or my team will be going down big style, some nice early points from my DS but the big boys are very disappointing so far.

    Yes – hopefully they’ll manage to cope without a fully fit G in the TTT…
