A little taste of the game upfront (the rest after the draw):
Picked winners;
11 Quintana
4 Valverde
3 Aru
2 Nibali
1 Froome (guess who)
... wide open
After x beers, to widen the brain
, I had the brilliant meta thinking idea of leaving Nibali & Talansky out as replacements. The plan is to bring in Nibali as sharp shooter right up there in the T-3 (or leave him out ofc, if he is not motivated). Same goes with Talansky: Shooting him right into his spot (should be around 10th to 15th I guess), if he still has some power left in his tired legs. If not? Good. Then I can leave both out, and make a nice CG position swap for at least one extra point.
OK, that was the theory. Ofc, it will end up in a very different way.
Btw; the last 3 cuts were hefty:
Plaza as captain for Lampre (had bad results during year anyway), then Rolland as captain for Europcar (he should be tired by now with 72 (!) race days already). And finally I almost shed tears ... had to leave out TJVG. That was the toughest. But what could I have done? Needed some space for my T-20...
