Tuarts said:Rubbish, I picked more favourites and gc contenders for this team than any of the other comps. Picking a certain favourite was always an ott risk in the other two games, this one you could probably have picked Froome or one of the other 1500 guys and still had a good team around them.
Think people are just whinging because they can't load their team up more.
No, at the TDF I could pick Gesink, JvdB, Froome, Menchov and Rolland.
No way you could pick five equally big names for the Vuelta.
Not saying you can't pick riders that would end up equally in the GC, hey for all I care Quintana will top 10, but it's his first GT, things could go wrong.
JvdB and Gesink are still affordable, but you won't know whether JvdB does well after having done the TDF, and both riders have become significantly more expensive as opposed to the TDF. Froome is more than twice as expensive now.
I'm not even whining btw, I like the CQ game better with less points and less easy obvious picks, because it makes selecting the best rider's more challenging.
Also, for something completely different, I'm contend with today. Viviani and Swift more or less did what I expected them to. Hoping that between them they can win a stage or two and get some decent placings in the sprints and they'll be worth their points.
