    Roster update has been done so you can now pick your teams šŸ™‚

    While the TTT was fairly straightforward the ITT will be significantly more difficult, not least because of credit limitations.  With the big three favourites all over 30 credits it severly restricts your ability to pick from the mid-priced guys, riders like Chavanel, Westra or Pinotti are all priced quite highly so making the best use of your cheap picks will be key!

    Here’s the official timing site (it’s crap šŸ™ )

    http://static.sportresult.com/federations/uci/CR2013/

    If anyone can link to a better site or live text then please do. So far it seems that the two Ugandans have dropped out so if you have Herbert Mugwanya or Rogers Balikudembe then you’re out of luck.

    This is my team for the TT today. I’ve made that many changes over the last couple of days i have no idea how they are going to go. Went for Quaade and Zoidl purely because they were 3 credits not because i knew of them.

    Jesse Sergent
    Bradley Wiggins
    Tony Martin
    Rohan Dennis
    Tobias Ludvigsson
    Riccardo Zoidl
    Taylor Phinney
    Rasmus Christian Quaade
    Gustav Larsson

    Here are my teams, edging my bets, one is with Cancellara, one is without.

    Standard –
    Martin
    Wiggins
    Cancellara
    Phinney
    Jungels
    Barta
    Quaade
    Zoidl
    Konovalovas

    Purist (which is currently 6 pts ahead of my standard) –
    Martin
    Wiggins
    Phinney
    Dennis
    Malori
    Jungels
    Quaade
    Zoidl
    Konovalovas

    If Cancellara struggles then I can see Malori and Dennis moving up into the top 5 (fingers crossed) but if Cancellara goes all out I should have the top four in my standard team.

    I think Quaade and Zoidl will be common cheap picks but I’m surprised nobody has mentioned Konovalovas, at three credits he’s Lithuanian champion and was doing well in WT level TTs last year before dropping down a level, I reckon he’ll be targetting this race and will want to put in a good ride.

    I reckon I stand a chance of getting a full house on each of my teams šŸ™‚

    Anyone wanting a bit of background on Rasmus Quaade, seeing as he is a good punt for 3 credits, should see the biographical movie Moon Rider.

    My teams:
    Germany
    Switzerland
    Great Britain
    Belarus
    Kazakhstan
    Czech Republic
    Switzerland
    Sweden
    Austria

    Germany
    Great Britain
    Great Britain
    United States
    Belarus
    Czech Republic
    Sweden
    Austria
    Denmark

    It could be an interesting race. A lot of guys whose sole focus has been this race, and then people like Spartacus where we have no idea what his intentions are!

    Official start list
    Official start list (including times) can be found here:

    http://www.uci.ch/Modules/BUILTIN/getObject.asp?MenuId=MTY5MjQ&ObjTypeCode=FILE&type=FILE&id=ODkzMzU&LangId=1

    This is why we update once official sources release their info, otherwise I’d have wrongly removed Lutsenko from the start list and no doubt confused a load of people.

    Every player has the ability to check start lists independently and should do.

    Yeah, I checked the game and the CyclingNews startlist and I think these guys have to be removed:

    This is why we encourage people to check startlists themselves rather than rely on the game to be 100% up to date at all times. I’ll be running a final round of changes at some point this afternoon based on the official startlist.

    Australia currently have Porte and Dennis as their listed riders, not sure Durbridge was ever picked.
