Its a shame you need to pick from the all rounders and climbers. You can get a solid team just from the domestiques here.

Also thanks for the tip Timmy. I had randomly picked 10 riders until you got me to look again.

Costa is not riding it anyways so i shall have to get rid of him. Might go with Duarte though who/ how is he going to get free.

Take Timmys advice to look at the 2 pointers;)

Also interesting strategy regarding picking weaker all rounders and solid climbers. I did the opposite.

Hmm, I haven't been following the Vuelta thread. I'd like to make a comeback from my poor showing in the Tour. Maybe I'll pick a bunch of riders who want to make a comeback after a poor showing in the Tour:) It's tough to know how they're really doing though.

How hard is this race for sprinters? Will they be abandoning throughout to go prepare for Worlds? I think I'll just get a cheap sprinter like Haedo.

I do have Anton. I only picked Martin for the ITT. Jani i think will surprise and i stated i think JVDB will win the overall.

However Wiggins might win the ITT and Nibali was just sitting there. Cav should get me at least 2-3 stages as well

It's not hard to pick an awesome team...

Funny. Everyone said that a few days before the Tour and had all conquering teams. A week later most teams had lost 2 or 3 riders. :D

I am top heavy with Nibali, Anton, Purito all in the team. I did not chose a top sprinter though. I went with Haedo. Not sure whether he will survive even the 4th stage.
How did you do that without going over a 100? Looking forward to seeing your team later on.

sounds like we had similar teams :p

mind you - I have decided to ditch both Anton and Purito and pick Nibali instead ... will probably come back to bite me ... but oh well.

I wish it would just start already so I dont have the chance to change my mind again :p

I have Zubeldia as one of my all rounders (but the other is a 20pointer), that is the only real gamble in my selections. Can't decide between two for my 4 pointer also.
Forgot about Zubeldia...thanks for pointing him out... :D

This is my tip: Rein TAARAMÄE

I think I'm having the same 4 point problem. Hill riders? I am probably to top heavy with my team though.
