tombeej Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 What you worried about, I chose Kelderman, he has lost so much time in the GC that all hopes of him getting a top 10 is almost gone, but then again he might change his ambitions because of this and go for the Polka jersey, so what to do, Keep him and hope he goes for the KOM or sub him? Much harder chose than ditching a sprinter when the road turns uphill. I've got him too, Scott. Keep him, he's still a good pick - but now for other reasons than GC. There's still the KOM and and also lots of White jersey points for him to win once we get into the mountains from week 2. From what I can see, he's not injured, so can still make some aggressive riding to gain back time and when he goes for the polka dot jersey. Remember that Breakaway and Most Aggressive get huge points in this system, so he might just do well for us. Same with Pinot - he can still earn good points in the second half of the TDF, even if he's no longer in contention for GC.
BDF Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 What's up with Louis Meintjies (Maincheese)? I hope he shapes better in the mountains than he has on the flats! He's letting me down - maybe time to sub him on Monday.
tombeej Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 The mountains are here, now the points are put upside down from today. No mountains yet - still the 'Classics' type racing for the next few days. The first mountain stage is only Stage 10. So we'll see the same faces on the front today: Kwiatkowski, Van Avermaet, Vanmarke, Sagan, Stybar, etc. See course profile below for stage 6 today: lumpy with short punchy climbs for the powerful classics guys, not for the mountain goats. Today might even be perfect for a breakaway to stay away. But my bet is on Sagan to take the win on that final sprint up the small 900m climb (@7%) to the finish line.

The second half of the TDF is where he's going to shine - which is exactly when you want him in your team.

Same with Pinot - he can still earn good points in the second half of the TDF, even if he's no longer in contention for GC. After the massive stage 3 crash this is the latest on him, Wilco Kelderman was seriously hampered by the back injury he sustained in the third stage on Monday. “I was struggling with my back. I really couldn’t push as I wanted to. I was wrestling on my bike and felt pain all the time. I don’t hope it’s too bad, but it doesn’t feel good.” But there is still a long race ahead so for now he will stay in my team, as mentioned before, there are still other things to aim for other than the GC. I can quite easily see him attacking in the hills like his team-mate Steven did in the Grio, and who knows with Ryder also 10min down he might join the Lotto-Jumbo rider too.
rouxtjie Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 I have Pinot on the bench. My only hope is he lose so much time that they will let him go in one of the stages.watch him on KOM, his GC dreams are over, reckon polka will be his target, maybe a stage win on Bastille day...who knows

He's letting me down - maybe time to sub him on Monday.Could be that he has lost time on purpose so that he does not get chased down by gc and white jersey contenders if he goes for break to win on mountain stage.

Damn, I didn't see that one. OK that changes thing a bit. Hope he can recover ok.

Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 ouch....I have nibali, grivko and kristoff on the bench dropping cav fo sure, don't know if I should drop sagan.Nibali is thankfully in my team at the moment. Did I mention Dekengolb is my 3rd sub............ Stick with Sagan, if I remember he does get better through the tour. Then again I may be sowing some seeds of discord

Oh deary me, will have to see how he does over the next couple of days.
tikki Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 im in the same boat with Matthews, will he recover ? Don t think so and what ever pain he feels now will be even worse once they hit the mountains so sub selection is very important as there s a good chance the injured riders could pull out next week.
Imploder Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 Degenkolb earn me some points today, dammit!!!Is said it before, I'll say it again...... Degenkolb earn me some points today, dammit!!!

leaboy Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 ??? He was never supposed to feature in the first week - he's not built for those stages. The second half of the TDF is where he's going to shine - which is exactly when you want him in your team.hoping his teammate Dan will also shine on the steep gradients. potential KOM contender perhaps
ScottCM Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 Damn, I didn't see that one. OK that changes thing a bit. Hope he can recover ok. Oh deary me, will have to see how he does over the next couple of days. The weird part is that on after Tuesday's cobbled Stage 4 he was quoted as saying: “My legs were so strong that I suddenly passed everyone,” “It was surprising to see that things were going so easily for me on the cobblestones. I haven’t ridden on cobbles a lot, but I like it. Perhaps that’s why it went this good.” Maybe he's pulling a Purito here. Only time will tell I guess
