    Roster update has been done so you can now pick your teams 🙂

    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!

    Or perhaps not… I’ve a couple of other guys in the bottom price range I suspect will be worth a punt! Not revealing any nationalities here either.

    On the Cancellara thing, I’m genuinely torn. Even if this isn’t his primary focus, the fact that he’s riding it at all surely means he’ll be taking it semi-seriously? I’m mean, he’ll at least place well, right?

    Also, going to say right now that I think Wiggins will take it over Martin or anyone else. Road race is anyone’s guess, though.

    There are a few decent choices at 3 credits, I’ve got three possible top 20s at 3 credits in one of my teams.

    Ditto on Cancellara, I can’t see him riding unless he’s going to put a proper effort it and, if he rides hard, he must be almost guaranteed top 5.

    I think Martin will be hard to beat but Wiggins has the best chance and I think it could go either way.

    Yeah, his swede is Quaade, who beat Rasmussen in the Swedish National Championhsips. And at 3.0, what a nice pick! :)

    Rasmussen and Quaade are both Danish and both were beaten by Vandborg.

    Larsson won the Swedish champs over Ludvigsson.

    Only two wrong, can’t see Fab being too bothered with this one to be fair.
    Gone for a few guys who I think will top 5 and then a few super wild cards

    Hmm,

    Martin
    Wiggins
    Larsson
    Rasmussen
    Phinney
    Malori
    Chavanel
    Grabsch
    Pinotti

    That about right? Interesting mix of medium priced riders with a potential higher score than the Martin, Cancellara, Wiggins, Phinney +5 base I’m currently working with assuming Cancellara is aiming for the Road Race and not the TT.

    Not quite sure how you manage to afford that team 😕

    So, what’s everyone thinking?

    Drop one of Cancellara, Martin or Wiggins and bring in a couple of mid-priced guys (Castroviejo/Malori etc)?

    Pick the probable top three and spread the remaining credits around?

    Or pick the probable top four (Phinney/Chava or someone similar) and just go for really cheap others?

    I’m leaning towards the latter but if Phinney or whoever I pick as my 4th placed finisher has a bad day I’ll be much worse off than those who edge their bets.


    There is another way…pick a purist team without martin, wiggo, fab or kwia, and pray for a thunderstorm and wind change as they leave the start gate….i like a gamble. ;0)
