    So We’re nearly there! Last bit of tinkering to be done!!
    Thought I’d open the post early!

    Are we confident?

    Think my team is finally nailed down. Done my most amount of planning for a race so far, and planned up to stage 2 transfers! Beat that!

    Good luck all!

    Cav no Sagan(straight swap
    Cav no Sagan(straight swap tomorrow) plus one other out and out youth sprinter(swapping out tomorrow also) plus 7 guys you could describe as ‘useful in a reduced bunch finish’ mainly for stages 2,3,5 and 7.

    aiming to bank at least one transfer between stages 2/3,3/4,4/5 but with crashes or an unexpected cheap KOM leader that’s open to change.

    Rider most anticipated:Geraint Thomas
    Stage most anticipated:summit finish to Ax-3-Domains
    Predicted first Goss crash:stage 1,probably with O’Grady involved
    Predicted Winner:J-Rod
    Predicted Polka:Hoogerland
    Predicted Green:Sagan
    Predicted White:Van Garderen
    Predicted Most Aggressive:Clarke

    I am looking for 2,400 points
    I am looking for 2,400 points and a top 50 place in the Tour game overall and have no Cav, Sagan or Greipel in my team for Stage 1.

    I’ve got 7 sprinters of whom 4 are young and 3 who I reckon can get decent points tomorrow as well. The other 2 are fillers!!

    Good luck everyone!!

    Lol, I do love a good spreadsheet, Thought about making one myself, but realised i still have no clue, so decided against it!

    Gone Cav and Sagan. No Froome Though! Worth bringing him in for stage 2?

    Off boozing tonight with work so no changes for me after about half 4, teams pretty much settled so not really an issue.

    Tingling with anticipation….Will have one last tinker tonight, but I think that I am more or less sorted…

    Standard team is fairly predictable and will be the same as most peoples…

    Purist team is picked from the heart and not the head…If they don’t float my boat, then they are not in, no matter how well I think they will do… B-)

    I too have Cav but not Sagan,
    I too have Cav but not Sagan, and about 3 credits in hand so I have the option of switching them for Sunday. Also gone for Kittel and Bouhanni, and three guys who may sprint for top 10, and can deal with the lumpy stuff too. Really think Greipel could match Cav on the flat stages this year, but as he won’t be going for the intermediates (so he says), I’ve not picked him. Yet.

    Have a rough plan of what to do for the next 4 stages, but keeping it flexible until we see who is in the spotty jumper (as my girlfriend calls it) after Sunday…

    Are we confident? NO! Mainly just excited about the race, and am starting with low expectations – we’ll see where we are after the TTT…

    Looking forward to having a laugh on the forum, trying to keep it light and not take it seriously but that will change if I’m top 50 this time next week!

    Hope you don’t mind a shameless plug, my weekly sports show on http://www.cambridge105.fm will have a totally slapdash TdF preview this Sunday from 6pm if anyone is plumbing the depths of boredom to the extent that you need something to listen to…
