Jewbacca Posted July 14, 2019 Posted July 14, 2019 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!
Frosty Posted July 14, 2019 Posted July 14, 2019 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.
meathead Posted July 14, 2019 Posted July 14, 2019 Pinot is doing well.. pity he is on my bloody bench.I know that feeling
Vetplant Posted July 14, 2019 Posted July 14, 2019 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.
DJuice Posted July 15, 2019 Posted July 15, 2019 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?
Vetplant Posted July 15, 2019 Posted July 15, 2019 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...
River Rat Posted July 15, 2019 Posted July 15, 2019 Okay so now I have 3 jerseys in my team, time for the mountains I say. Gen 1
Frosty Posted July 15, 2019 Posted July 15, 2019 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 5th plus 3 jerseys... rest day headache, on who to drop, and IF I should bring the subs in. Gen 1
Gen Posted July 15, 2019 Posted July 15, 2019 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 5th plus 3 jerseys... rest day headache, on who to drop, and IF I should bring the subs in.1st, 5th and 3 jerseys. Frosty 1
Baldrick Posted July 15, 2019 Posted July 15, 2019 I'm keeping my sprinters for the next week. They will do better than my two mountain goats I have on the bench. Vetplant 1
Nick Posted July 16, 2019 Posted July 16, 2019 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 Vetplant and Frosty 2
Jewbacca Posted July 16, 2019 Posted July 16, 2019 Don't forgot to make your substitutions today! I'm in the same boat Don't forgot..... Is that the same premise as 'woke'?
Nick Posted July 16, 2019 Posted July 16, 2019 Don't forgot..... Is that the same premise as 'woke'? If woke originated from a typo, then yes ;-) Jewbacca 1
JohanDiv Posted July 16, 2019 Posted July 16, 2019 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.
ScottCM Posted July 16, 2019 Posted July 16, 2019 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 5th plus 3 jerseys... rest day headache, on who to drop, and IF I should bring the subs in. Even though i have all four jerseys I'm still going backwards. Vetplant 1
@grootlem Posted July 16, 2019 Posted July 16, 2019 Bringing in my bench Fuglsang and Bernal for Valverde and Viviani. Doing it reverse alphabetical starting with Z
