I've taken an analytical/numbers approach as apposed to gut and past performance.

 

Looked up and recorded the odds of winning each stage for all riders on various media platforms and built a little database which logs most likely scores for each rider over the 21 days.

 

So based on most likely to least likely to win a stage, rider gets allocated points. Structured my picks so that my chosen 8 plus subs results in a maximum combination of points for each of the three phases.

 

This takes into account the favorites on flats, cobbles, hilltops etc. Then just also made sure that the most likely jersey winners are also included.

 

This approach has caused me to leave out some big names I would otherwise definitely have picked, but seeing that that didn't go well last year, I'm sticking to my new BS approach...

If you don't place top 100 then the game is rigged I tell ya!

 

Seriously, what's your team name? Wanna see how far the analytical approach goes.

So it's essentially the same as my approach of throwing eight darts at a board then.
