Velogames - Tour

[Nuash65]

I've made a mini-league if anyone wants to join:

League Name: CN Forum
League Code: 16181723

I think it's harder than usual with no obvious cheap bargains and the almost certain big-point scorers highly priced.

 

[Nuash65]

Anyone? .

 

[al_pacino]

I think I see a few bargains.

Not done my team yet though.

 

[Ferminal]

How can I make a team when Klöden isn't on the list!

 

[greenedge]

I'll join later/ get Froome in it hopefully.
For now
Richie Porte SKY 14
Alberto Contador TST 22
Nairo Quintana MOV 14
Thibaut Pinot FDJ 8
Peter Sagan CAN 18
Andrew Talansky GRS 8
Jon Izaguirre EUS 6
Andrey Amador MOV 4
Lars Boom BLA BLA 6

 

[Nuash65]

Thanks,

My first version had Dawg but here's my current team:

Cadel Evans BMC 16
Richie Porte SKY 14
Nairo Quintana MOV 14
Thibaut Pinot FDJ 8
Mark Cavendish OPQ 18
Thomas Voeckler EUC 8
Andrew Talansky GRS 8

[Afrank]

Joined the league, agree was harder putting a team together for this one. Ended up going with this.

Christopher Froome SKY 26
Daniel Martin GRS 10
Nairo Quintana MOV 14
Thibaut Pinot FDJ 8
Mark Cavendish OPQ 18
Thomas Voeckler EUC 8
David Veilleux EUC 4
Andrey Amador MOV 4
Michal Kwiatkowski OPQ 8

Wish I could have gone with Andy for my wildcard, but was too expensive to fit in.

Christopher Froome SKY
Bauke Mollema BLA 8
Thibaut Pinot FDJ 8
Mark Cavendish OPQ 18
Ian Stannard SKY 4
Simon Gerrans OGE 6

Inbetween Porte/Valverde/TJVG for final all rounder

Jurgen Roelandts LTB 4
Bauke Mollema BLA 8

TJVG is the biggest gamble I think. For 14 points, I'm sacrificing easy improvements to the rest of the squad. Same thing with Quintana; they could be top 5, they could be top 15 just as easily

 

[LaFlorecita]

I'm in

Think my team is pretty good (98 points) but then again I thought the same thing about my cq team

 

[Jericho]

I keep changing my mind on who I want to include. Froome is great, but not sure he's worth 26 points. Contador at 4 points less seems like a better investment. Sagan and Cavendish at 18 both seem like reasonable buys, but its tough to get both on the squad. Really kind of wanted to add Edvald Boasson Hagen too, who I always passed over on previous tours for one reason or another (and I liked him better when he wasn't listed as a sprinter). Definitely a bit tougher as they've expanded all the categories, leaving less reliable riders in the "unclassified" section. I also miss the days of the 2 point rider

He's there now! (In the bargain basement)

 

[Ferminal]

He's there now! (In the bargain basement)

Ugh, didn't want to drop Tommy so had to make some changes. Coquard is there now too, unfortunately as a sprinter though.

 

[Culkasi]

Team Culkasi has joined

 

[LaFlorecita]

Team Z is in

 

[manafana]

im in hofs hill repeats

 

[amp300]

I believe there is typo with Andy Schleck, the organizer put a one in front of that four when clearly it should just be a four.

Or I am missing out on the best bargain in the game.

[FjPavels]

not finished yet

Still have some decisions to make:
Sagan or Cavendish

for 28 points:
(sagan and van den broeck) or (kristoff and contador)

Is Van den broeck the best costing 10 points or less to use as a wildcard.

Cavendish really fool me, climbing so well all season, now looks even worse than Kittel.
