this is my team

1. BULGAC Brian LTB NED 828 17 0
2. HAEDO Juan Jose SAX ARG 189 337 0
3. LANCASTER Brett GEC AUS 1238 15 0
4. MOUREY Francis FDJ FRA 974 15 0
5. PINOTTI Marco BMC ITA 203 203 0
6. PIRAZZI Stefano COG ITA 364 72 0
7. RUJANO GUILLEN Jose Humberto AND VEN 68 758 0
8. SCARPONI Michele LAM ITA 48 1215 0
9. VENTOSO ALBERDI Francisco Jose MOV ESP 120 364 0
 
My team:
Gadret 620
Basso 609
Goss 569
Nieve 449
Heanao 339
Bobridge 192
Slagter 138
Bonnafond 62
Bulgac 17

Thought I did swap Bobridge for Pinotti, but well... Goss also might be too expensive, but he might end up with some days in rosa (in my dreams)...
Quite happy with the rest.
 
I adopted a high-risk strategy which will almost certainly backfire, but it could win me this game just the same

1. SCARPONI Michele LAM ITA 1215
2. RUJANO GUILLEN Jose Humberto AND VEN 758
3. BASSO Ivan LIQ ITA 609
4. HENAO MONTOYA Sergio Luis SKY COL 339

5. LEEZER Tom RAB NED 20
6. BULGAC Brian LTB NED 17
7. LANCASTER Brett GEC AUS 15
8. MOUREY Francis FDJ FRA 15
9. SCHILLINGER Andreas APP GER 10

total: 2998 points


If not for the IMO pointless "you have to have 9 riders"-rule I would have picked Garate in addition to my 4 main picks. I hope the Tour de France game won't have this rule.

Rujano, Basso, Nieve, Battaglin, Huzarski, Intxhausti, Sella, Slagter, Garate.

I'm just hoping Geraint wins the prologue and wears pink a couple of days. That would be a nice start for my team, especially since not many people have picked Geraint Thomas. :)

You're the most similar team to mine! Difference between us is Henao, Bruseghin, Sella v Garate, Gadret, Roessler

Seems Armchair and I (and a couple more) went with the same strategy (ie Roessler - if he just finishes the Giro he'll infinitely better his price/score) :D
