Roche + 2 point guy or Horner + 4 point guy ?
Click to expand...

I'd go with Horner + the 4-pointer. Like I said, there are some decent 4-pointers and both guys will probably end up in the 5-10 range. Horner could stay high in GC early on thanks to the TTT. Being on Radio Shack also gives him a good chance for assists and the final team classification. I know those are small points, but if you feel like the two are fairly equal riders it could make the difference.

Worst case scenario, Boasson Hagen is injured and abandons and Cadel is in the bottom half of the top 10. Not sure what to make of Roche

Media reports that Boasson Hagen is ok, i don't really know what to make of Roche either...

Think I like Pavel's team the best.

This is the same team I had the first time I did it, only Goss a late swap for EBH.

Wow, I hit the mark again tonight - my miserly 12 points invested in two sprinters gets me a 2nd and a 3rd place on the stage. Go you good things! Would love to see Rojas turn a podium into a win for a change, though.

I had a strong day with four riders in the top ten finishers. Picking Gilbert and Hushovd is obviously working out well. I see the CN league leader has those two plus Evans. I can't compete with that.

I still think Horner was a bargain at 6 points and could pay off well. I don't know what I was thinking with Bottle at 12 points. Frank Schleck has been a pleasant surprise. I didn't expect him to be producing many points this early.
