Very impressive line-up. Expect you'll be keeping the lead

 

[taiwan]

Henderson, Rogers, Blythe, De Gendt, Haussler, LL Sanchez for me at the TDU.

I could be waiting a while for a result with this team. Quite a few ProConti and a couple of Conti riders. Might be more fun later in the season though.

 

[Panda Claws]

My TDU team is not great as well.

Luis Leon Sanchez
Michael Rogers
Iglinskiy


I am just hoping Iglinskiy does something.

 

[togo95]

I have these riders at the TDU:
Haussler, Sanchez, Sutton, Renshaw, Kelderman, Guarnieri, Sicard

Sometimes I'm really surprised and confused with decisions I made when choosing my team.

 

[taiwan]

...I am just hoping Iglinskiy does something.

Sorry, you have the wrong Iglinsky, same as myself.

 

[Panda Claws]

Sorry, you have the wrong Iglinsky, same as myself.

Well, that's a bummer.

 

[taiwan]

Might have a couple in San Luis, though.

 

[Kvinto]

nothing special for the TDU, but if everybody posts their teams, so why can't I?

MAASKANT Martijn
LLOYD Matthew
GUARNERI Jacopo

Not sure what to expect, but it probably won't be much.

 

[CQmanager]

So it turned out that I submitted a rough version of a team that I didnt double check before submitting (too busy during the holidays) and left there two riders that shouldnt be there because they are suspended or retired.

Silly me ...

MUTO Pasquale - Suspended for doping (48 points - totally missed the suspension)
LODDO Alberto - Retired (0 points - not sure why I left him there since I had many other better choices at 0 points)

Oh well, even though I lost 48 points and two spots on my roster I should still dominate this game even being shorthanded. So this way I will have a small handicap so the game wont be too boring ... just kidding

VOIGT Jens

Fenn to dominate the sprints and LLS to win GC ahead of Sicard and Rogers, LLoyd and Voigt to win a stage, Maaskant to finish
I am actually looking forward San Luis, given my TDU roster

 

[Froome19]

TDU
Haussler
maaskant
Rogers
Sicard

Am expecting better things later on in the year yet still expect haussler to make a big impact.

 

[HelgeBlendet]

TDU Line-up

Lloyd
Lund
Maaskant
Renshaw
Rogers
Sanchez Gil
Smukulis
Veikkanen

Lloyd and Sanchez Gil for GC, Renshaw for the sprints and Veikkanen, Lund and Smukulis to root for.
Not much to gain, but I like it somehow...

 

[auscyclefan94]

TDU team

Henderson
Haussler
Rogers
Frank
Sanchez
Renshaw
Cantwell
Lloyd

I am confident that I can maintain my top 20 spot and even improve on it.

 

[greenedge]

My TDU team:

Michael Rogers
Adam Blythe
Lulu Sanchez
Mark Renshaw
Wilco Kelderman

Rather slim, and Blythe is my only rider present who isn't madly popular. My TDU was very good last year, with Cam Meyer and Matthews scoring me a bucketload of points. Renshaw will be intruiging, now he can ride for himself, and he has people like Brown, Matthews and Leezer who could do a decent leadout for him. Lulu and Rogers could do well overall, but almost everyone has them as well...

All in all, I expect to have a middling TDU.

On a side note I read Bobridge is apparantly out of the race with a fractured wrist. Could be that GE will select Allan Davis in his place, who I have. Was surpried he didn't make the cut in the first place. Also, what gives with Saxo not selecting Porte?

You mean Sky for Porte.

I have 9 riders ( it will go up to 10 if Davis gets in ).
Heinrich Haussler
Gerald Ciolek
Mark Renshaw
Leigh Howard
Jose Ivan Guiterrez
Wilco Kelderman
Jonathan Cantwell
Matthew Lloyd
Romain Sicard

I have no real threat though for the overall unless Haussler gets a lot of time bonuses and Lloyd detonates the field on Wilunga.
I also have Boonen for San Luis, where he should clean up on the 2 easy stages.

MAASKANT Martijn
LLOYD Matthew
FENN Andrew
SANCHEZ GIL Luis Leon
VOIGT Jens
ROGERS Michael
Fenn to dominate the sprints and LLS to win GC ahead of Sicard and Rogers, LLoyd and Voigt to win a stage, Maaskant to finish

Lloyd can only win the Wilunga stage. He can't win on Stirling. So he will have to win on Wilunga to get a stage which will probably means he takes the lead.

 

[Eric8-A]

Lineup for TDU

Michael Rogers
Luis Leon Sanchez
Manuel Belletti
Martijn Maaskant
Andre Greipel
Jens Voigt
Romain Sicard

There's more variety to my list of riders for the TDU this year, as opposed to last year when I only had Greipel.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

I really expect to be near the top after TDU. My roster:

Danielle Ratto
Angel Madrazo
Wilco Kelderman

 

[Kwibus]

I really expect to be near the top after TDU. My roster:

Danielle Ratto
Angel Madrazo
Wilco Kelderman

Since Kelderman will win the TDU you will indeed

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Since Kelderman will win the TDU you will indeed

I think I would need this to be the podium to be near the top
