I'm in. I've picked my team though I might make adjustments. Are we doing a forum mini league?

I set up a mini league:
League Name: CyclingNews
League Code: 02193832

 

[greenedge]

Thx for setting up.
Rider Team Cost
Ivan BASSO LIQ 18
Roman KREUZIGER AST 14
Fränk SCHLECK RNT 14
Jose Luis RUJANO AND 12
Matthew GOSS GEC 12
Gianni MEERSMAN LTB 8
Jan BARTA APP 4
Marco PINOTTI BMC 8
John GADRET ALM 8
TOTAL 98

Got an awesome team ( i hope ). Laughing at the fact i could get Rujano/ Gadret so cheaply.

Barta and Pinotti have chances ITT wise and Goss i think can get a few good placings- hopefully a stage win.

 

[al_pacino]

i'm in and actually remembered to pick a team(unlike for the classics).

I have setup a league for my podcast VeloBeats. I am giving a free tshirt and some other stuff out probably for the podium.

Maybe hide your team until after the deadline?

Maybe hide your team until after the deadline?

You can't really as when you got to velogames you can see other players teams anyway.

 

[amp300]

Thanks for setting up the league!

Hmmm yeah you're right, that's odd they used to keep them hidden until after the deadline.

 

[More Strides than Rides]

Seems much easier to make a good team than in the past. But, for this race with no outright favorites, many stages before the GC men define themselves in the standings, picking the right team is still a shot in the dark

 

[greenedge]

I'm trying to intimidate you

 

[Tuarts]

Dunno about easy, have to choose between having a GC laden team or a good sprinter...

my team

Michele SCARPONI LAM 24
Ivan BASSO LIQ 18
Joaquím RODRÍGUEZ KAT 18
Jose Luis RUJANO AND 12
Sacha MODOLO COG 6
Geraint THOMAS SKY 6
Taylor PHINNEY BMC 4

[greenedge]

You would have got some good points today.

 

[patrick767]

Ugh. I had Phinney and traded him out the other day because I decided I didn't think he would do anything. Why? I have no clue. I stupidly traded Rasmussen out as well for someone on the same team as one of my GC picks hoping to pick up assist points. I still have Thomas, but wow, what foolish changes I made.

 

[greenedge]

Goss is going well for me- i'm just annoyed at not having Phinney or Thomas.

 

[patrick767]

I didn't think the fantasy game would allow me to pick a rider who's not even in the race. Obviously I should have checked it myself as a google search shows he's had injury problems lately, but I took Robert Kiserlovski as a just for fun dark horse young rider pick. He cost 8 points. He never started the Giro and he's not listed on velogames as a rider now. But I'm stuck with him. Lame.

 

[Zam_Olyas]

Why did i pick Jan barta

 

[greenedge]

I have the same problematic pick. However he could maybe get a stage.

 

[greenedge]

I am annoyed i did not get JROD.
Meersmann, Pinotti ( unless if he goes well in the final ITT ) and Barta are complete flops.

Gadret, Frank ( maybe ) and Rujano ( maybe ) also not looking as if they will win overall.

Barta wasn't bad at all, was he now ?

Rujano, Gadret and Frank on other hand along Meersmann are looking like flops, but many probably had them too.

 

[greenedge]

No he wasn't. He must have been trawling through websites looking for his name, found this and decided to go well.

 

[manafana]

im in now too, think im in good spot to do well 3 of top6 today.

 

[greenedge]

Meersmann, Frank and Rujano have failed for me.

Barta, Pinotti and Gadret are solid but are not going as well as i hoped.

If only Goss had contested that stage 9 sprint/ stayed in the race i might have been better.

Kreuziger also did not go as well as expected ( GC wise, so that will let me down ). Basso could come 2nd ( hopefully ).
