I just realised that my team is only 6625 points because I left Majka out...Hope this won't be a costly mistake. At first I wanted to go for one or 2 1000+ riders but I have big faith in Talansky and Gesink for this season so I hope they won't let me down.

Got rid of some of those riders with funny sounding names but a pretty solid team I feel.

Not disappointed

 

[LaFlorecita]

I did not expect Contador to be in this many teams. I thought maybe 20 max.

 

[Afrank]

So many people bought into Linus Gerdemann. There's nothing like a zero pointer is there .

Will probably lead MTN at the Giro, and he's zero points due to no team last season. He wants to return to WT so needs to show some results for that. Should get into some fairly good profit pretty easily. One of those must have 0 pointers IMO.

Quintana and Contador, your braver then me. Nice picks.

 

[Jancouver]

So far I dont see any team that would be really standing out. One team I like so far is del1962 just because he got so many GC riders.

CONTADOR VELASCO ALBERTO

URAN URAN Rigoberto

Any of these guys can at least podium GT this year and Grant tours are big points! Nicely done!

Disappointed that Degenkolb (and Trentin) aren't unique picks. At least, Kudus and of course my troll pick Buchacek haven't been picked by somebody else yet.

Andy Schleck GC rider???

I think you mean abandon rider

 

[Jancouver]

Andy Schleck GC rider???

I think you mean abandon rider

I guess you are right. He, and few others that are on just about every team wont count anyway. I think there will be about 10-15 riders that will have very minimal impact on the game just because they are so widely included.

Maybe the game would be even better without those like Schleck, Boonen and other must have picks ... JMHO

 

[Netserk]

Are you seriously calling Abandony a must pick?!

 

[the sceptic]

Andy is a must pick because he can get 1000+

Also pleased to see that little Ritchie seems to be a pretty rare pick so far.

 

[Netserk]

Andy is a must pick because he can get 1000+

Also pleased to see that little Ritchie seems to be a pretty rare pick so far.

Wanna bet whether or not he makes 400 points?

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

Andy is a must pick because he can get 1000+

That's what everybody thought last year. I really didn't expect him to be so popular this year.

 

[the sceptic]

Wanna bet whether or not he makes 400 points?

well no, he is probably more likely to continue to suck. But the potential to get 1000+ is still there, although unlikely.

 

[uspostal]

1st time playing so I'll see what happens, not going to expect much this year, good luck to everybody.

[search]

look like Colli, Thurau, Brenes, Bisolti and Rujano are relatively rare picks, lookin' forward to how that will unfold.

Rujano is a gamble of course, hope he's worth it

That's what everybody thought last year. I really didn't expect him to be so popular this year.

He still yielded almost 400% profit in 2013, if he does the same this season he can become a crucial rider.

[skidmark]

Hey guys, quick note - just on the last of the velorooms applications - all applications through cyclingnews are processed and I've got about 15 more from VR to bring us up to around 150 teams. I'm out all day as of now, but should be back tonight (western Canada time) to post the full spreadsheet. Apologies, I know it's nice to see it all laid out there, but it's just bad timing with a part of my trip where I haven't seen people in a year and can't really ignore them to work all day on a spreadsheet.
