Think he may well pick a stage or two but he hasn't ridden much since March and I doubt he has the stamina to last 3 weeks in a GC battle. I hope some of these outside contenders can step up and make it exciting. |

I can't have Porte, and I wouldn't touch Froome at the current price. I've had a small amount on Dan Martin at a silly price, because I'd be kicking myself otherwise. De Gendt is another punt to nothing on the KOM.

Got some of my cycling friends from work to join in as well so that should boost the numbers up even more.

Chavez from last year fully fit and race ready, yes. At the moment, I doubt it. That's why they are hedging their bets with Yates presumably taking a run at the white jersey

Just got round to having a tinker. Most of the riders I want to pick seem to be in the climbers section.
|
#72

Good point! Some of the climbers are for me all-rounders, and some of the all-rounders are climbers or even no more than "top-of-the-range" domestiques. If you don't go for the expensive all-rounders, there's not much else to choose from. I can't see any cheeky 4-pointers of note either!

Yep, how on earth is Fuglsang not an all-rounder? BTW, I see they've put Thierry Adam on a motorbike for the tour - To view the link you have to Register or Login - better have special wide tyres.

Really looking forward to this, feel that there will be some surprises on the podium in Paris.
I have spent far too much time tinkering with my team and have persuaded myself that it is the finest Velogames team that I have entered since the Alan Lees were in their prime. Against this anyone who bases a team around Ritchie Porte getting to Paris without at least one catastrophic day is probably somewhat deluded. |

I've had at least six tinkers. Ended up with a 'no one who rode the giro, and no froome, porte or quintana' strategy.

Tour de Yorkshire entered!
Spent so much on Froome and Sagan, rest are not the best ![]()

In the end I decided not to tinker at all, stick with my initial selection. I expect by Tuesday I'll be seriously annoyed I didn't put Sagan in.

First time i've left the big hitters out, actually nice to have a balanced team rather than some random 4 pointers who don't get any points for carrying water. Will just make it more disappointing when the 8 pointers end up doing nothing anyway.
