Eldron Posted July 17, 2018 Share I agonised over Bernal for some time... He is unlikely to score many top 10 places in the service of FroomeThomas and is 14mins behind Letour for the white jersey.... He made the squad - don't let me down little guy! Don't make me regret dropping Gaviria for the single sprint stage. bertusras 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ispeed_V Posted July 17, 2018 Share My pics not looking good for the mountains either now that Richie has abandoned... Hopes with Majka, Dumoulin and maybe either EvBH or Impey for a surprise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shebeen Posted July 17, 2018 Share interesting that people DROPPED sagz from their squad for this week? went from 988 to 697! the oke is in green and unlikely to lose it. 15 points a day is equivalent to 7th on every stage. and last week was the flat week, this week is uphill. so you expect people to bring in their climbers.BUT froome went slightly down from 794 to 699 picks. I'm trying to understand the thought process behind this. people pick him for the sprint stages, and then demote him for not performing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shebeen Posted July 17, 2018 Share It's very hard to see what's going to happen, but I think the one thing that is sure is that the current Leader Grootlem is not even going to be in the final top20. His okes are mostly going to put on turboreverse in the hills, and points from De Gendt and Alaphillipe are a serious gamble. my thinking. 12 okes in the squad.6 flat stage okes (GVA = flat)6 mountains. (Valverde = mountains) week 16 flats + 2 mountainsweek22 flats + 6 mountainsweek3.it depends. now that I've lost richie and mathews I'm down to 10 riders.I think the best mix is actually not 6:6 but 5:7 or even 4:8I think the ultimate winner will come from someone who has at least 6 GC riders on their books for weeks 2 and 3 - and that doesn't appear to be anyone in the current top 10. the other leftfield possibility is the aggressive rider or polka going to an outsider which few people have picked. (if it goes to Barguil - 144 people got this base covered) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldron Posted July 17, 2018 Share Bernal is a banker. he's actually only 8 and a bit mins down on Latour the white jersey is probably one of the easier ones to get the points on.73 people gone for Latour182 gone for Bernal even the 2 okes who had Anderson have dropped him this week I had GVA/Gaviria to agonise over. went with Gaviria, basically as insurance if sags goes off a mountain or something Damn. I didn't maths that one very well :-) 8 mins is doable I reckon. I reckon Bernal may crack a top 10 on some of the mountain top finishes. Any points over white jersey points are a winner I reckon. Edit: I went with 5 sprinters, 5 gc/climbers and 2 emotional random riders I thought would make some points. On the emotion side - I'm not sure I'll play again next year. It gets a bit weird shouting for people you don't like that you think will score you points! I'm not sure that playing for points has made the TdF experience better or worse :-) Edited July 17, 2018 by Eldron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vetplant Posted July 17, 2018 Share I went GC heavy this week, Sagan the only non-GC rider, lets see if I can make up some places this week. Hoping that the "Flat" stage is taken by n big breakaway move of unknown riders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
