tombeej Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 Interesting, I am still considering wither I will participate in the league this year or not. Sadly, I haven't had time to really follow the season this year so I have to say I am not up to speed. If I do it will be a team based purely on riders I like to support, 'Berto, Scarponi, Valverde, Bennati, Nibali, Voekler to name a few, Froome, Cavendish, the Schlecks, Horner or a few other good racers wont be there, not because I dont think they are capable, I simply dont support them. I see supporting teams or riders (or any sportsman / woman) as a sort of investment in my time and knowledge, and, I only invest in people I am comfortable with supporting, irrespective of their possible potential or pedigree, I find it difficult to support any athlete I may not like, even if they are the best, and that includes supporting them in a fantasy league. Come on Grumps, get in the mix

ScottCM Posted July 3, 2014 Author Posted July 3, 2014 Do you guys think with OGE not having Goss or a recognised sprinter in the team that Gerrans would be able so save himself for sprints on hilly stages and compete against SAGAN?
'Dale Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 Do you guys think with OGE not having Goss or a recognised sprinter in the team that Gerrans would be able so save himself for sprints on hilly stages and compete against SAGAN? I reckon Michael Matthews might contest for green Gerro's role - unsure Probably individual stage wins
Gen Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 I reckon Michael Matthews might contest for green Gerro's role - unsure Probably individual stage winsIs Matthews good to go, I am sure I read that he took a tumble yesterday.
jcza Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 Matthews crashed and got stitches in his hand. OGE will make a call tomorrow, might not start.
NotSoBigBen Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 Brian Nygaard@nygaardbn12 minsHeavily bruised @blingmatthews still in doubt for his #TDF debut. Fingers crossed.
