It seems a fairly weak field of both GC riders and sprinters. Budget reduced accordingly.  Very late startlist.

I went for Peñalver instead

I went for Peñalver instead of Vernon for Purist.

Guess who had Molano in their Purist team. Carnage!

Well my purist team had the

Well my purist team had the winner today…… rather it had been in my Standard team!

I spent the whole of last

I spent the whole of last Purist season, gradually catching up, I seem to remember.  I’d love to test myself by actually being in the running early on.

Not to self: Try not to forget to do my team in the main game and drop out of the overall this year.

Don’t worry about it. It is

Don’t worry about it. It is one of those things that is probably more hassle than it’s worth to correct and it really doesn’t bother me. It’s nice to have the odd quirk in the game!

[Sniffer]

Me too.  And the now departed

Me too.  And the now departed Bling, but at least I got something in the first 2 stages.

Now, if only Ethan Vernon can win a sprint tomorrow.

Yeah I’ve often debated

Yeah I’ve often debated whether to leave everyone in purist and only remove riders from the standard game, but that would leave them in the game stage file. I wouldn’t mind trying it though, think I might have already had a go in the last couple of years, but decided against it.

All right, I admit Porte

All right, I admit Porte often gets sick or crashes (always a mini-gamble), but all four of them?  FFS!

It always makes me smile when

It always makes me smile when you get a ‘roster change’ email relating to the purist game. It’s as if the game is taunting you for being so stupid as to think that Simon Yates would last more than three days! 

[Condor Andy]

Yes all 4 

Yes all 4

Anyone else have Yates, Woods

Anyone else have Yates, Woods, Porte and Valverde in their purist team?  They all looked like perfectly reasonable picks to me.

[Condor Andy]

I noticed that too, and no

I noticed that too, and no idea. Doesn’t affect the stage scores, only the KOM classification.

[tony kappler]

Does anyone know why the race

Does anyone know why the race organisers haven’t recorded the final KOM cat 1 climb (ie the finish) in the overall KOM rankings?

[Condor Andy]

Whoops I forgot to make any

Whoops I forgot to make any changes! Carry me Valverde and Higuita!

[Daniel Norton]

Anyone who doesn’t have Porte

Anyone who doesn’t have Porte in their Purist team is in luck!

… on the plus side… a few

… on the plus side… a few very cheap picks to grab our attention.
