Zam probably would have picked Falco since he always posts that song.

 

[TheGreenMonkey]

Whose turn now? It is not mine is it? I have a pick sort of ready when the time comes.

 

[The Hitch]

burning is on the clock.

Zlev after that.

Then you.

 

[the sceptic]

Savoldelli is a cool pick.

and I would like to appoint libertine to design the fantasy tour. (if he wants to obviously)

 

[Netserk]

You could always randomize it, where you pick ten or so Tours and then let the bottle spin.

 

[the sceptic]

yeah that would work too, or someone could just nominate their favourite(s)

Re:

Tours as in TDFs or Tours as in Grand Tours?

 

[Netserk]

Surely it's the biggest race in the world we are racing, no?

 

[Miburo]

Any of you guys already picked up tour'08 canc. Beast on the flat and pretty decent in the mountains. Perfect dom.

 

[SlickMongoose]

Great thread, guys. I'm learning a lot.

You could take it in turns to pick stages from your favourite TDF's in the same way you're picking riders.

Strange wish for a team being led by Basso

Why? He was a great TTer when he was Robo. There's not many descents where he can lose contact in France compared to Italy. Longer TTTs in the Tour as well, where my team is pretty damn great.

He was like 5th in the first ITT and also got beat in the 2nd. I think he was more impressive the year after, but I chose '10 as he was the best dom there.

But he was the best in the mountains in 2008 though

I depends on the role you want him to play. As the draft unfolds, team needs may dictate picking a better ITT version, or a better climbing version, maybe a better all-around version. And sometimes it makes sense to avoid a GT where your potential pick got smoked by a rider that has already been picked. Netserk is at least as smart as Dave B . If his leader falls or punctures, Fabian will be around and give Basso his Cancellarazaki .

I was at a rubber plantation with little or no network, so sorry fellas....when am i up next? ...

When you want to, so now

If you honestly already had decided to pick Falco, I think it's fair that you'll get him, but that's up to you.

[TheGreenMonkey]

I think I have a route planned for this. It is not a typical Race Design Thread type route. Instead it is a tribute to the EPO era. Much as the Centenary Tour had its monuments to the original host cities, this route has a number of monuments to great moments in doping history and is an attempt to have something that resembles a classic EPO era Tour without blatantly biasing it in favour of any of us.
