The 2019 Bike Hub Fantasy Tour


News bot

Recommended Posts

My hypothesis is based on watching Sagan pulling some serious amps up yesterday's cat 1 climbs and I am not sure how many of these he still has in the tank. Although we have only 3 cat 1 climbs for today and tha same for tomorrow. All shall be revealed!

Yeah, hilly today, 'Flat' tomorrow, rest day Tueday and flat on Wednesday...

 

After that we have the ITT, big mountains, some intermediate days, more big mountains and the finale... So Thursday we should start seeing the GC starting to resemble the real leaderboard and by Sunday evening we 'should' see who is a contender and who is a pretender...

 

As usual my Fantasy team is solid mid to lower table rubbish with no respite on the bench, so I'm just here for the racing!

I know anything can happen, and luck plays a part, but reviewing the route before the start would indicate that anyone that has more GC guys in the starting lineup rather than sprinters/breakaway specialists are scoring less. Besides the TTT and one monster stage, the first 10 stages have been scripted for sprinters, breakaway and green jersey riders.

Don't want to speak to early, but with EBH up the road in the breakaway it seems like the best opportunity yet for TDD to get a result.

Not sure what to do with my subs.

Nibs in the team not performing.

Porte and Barguil on the bench, but who to replace.

My team Jumbo riders?

I was thinking of dropping WvA on the rest day to make space for my GC hopefuls, he must have heard of my plans :)

 

Sorry Nibbles, bench for you it seems...

Don't forgot to make your substitutions today!

 

I'm keeping my sprinters for the next week. They will do better than my two mountain goats I have on the bench.

 

I'm in the same boat  :unsure:

Don't forgot..... Is that the same premise as 'woke'?  :ph34r:

Subbing Caleb Ewan for Warren Barguil. Absolute gamble! Caleb looks out of contention for scoring points for young rider but might still take a few points in tomorrow's stage. 1 flat stage vs 3 mountain stages and 1 time trial.. Warren did't show much form until now, but I'm hoping he can score a few points in the mountains at least!

 

Then an obvious sub for Laporte that fell sick and out of the tour. Subbing with Rohan Dennis who I'm backing to take the win in the time trial.
