But I still think stage 1 and 2 is just too perfect for him for them to not allow him to go for it. The other 6 JV riders should be enough to keep Roglic safe.

betaboy Posted June 23, 2021 Share 3 hours ago, Vetplant said: True. I have zero idea on what kind of level he is with his fitness. He got the KoM jersey at Tour Down Under a couple of years ago, so my hope is purely based on that and the fact that Team DD was able to get the polka dot jersey for a day or two in the past. This year will be challenging, not so much the amounting climbing more on where they placed! I think you might see some good all rounders even contesting... my humble opinion of course. btw:,are you in at the fantasy league? I keep getting the menu that a link has been sent amd then we do it all over again? Haven’t had a chance to assemble my soldiers ????

Maybe try joining the TDF club first before trying the link. That part was a bit different than last year. betaboy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozzie NL Posted June 24, 2021 Share 19 hours ago, lechatnoir said: GCN did a similar thing on Zwift with a pair of riders vs Jens Voigt after he retired. They beat him by one of them attacking, and the other sitting on while he had to chase, then when he tired, the following guy attacked and dropped Jensie. All kinds of questions here, but the premise is the same. Look for something similar to happen in TdF with the Pog/Rog machine sitting on Ineos, then riding Thomas off their wheels when the other have blown. or some such thing. perhaps me just being hopeful? With you on this. Ineos by far the strongest team in terms of depth but the Slovenians the strongest individuals in my view. So an battle between team and individual class. Pogacar is not gonna get the freedom he got last year (at least initially) so suspect he and Roglic will be stuck to Ineos wheels and will have to decide who to chase and who to let go ...that's not easy with the depth of the Ineos team with 4 potential winners. There is a case for the two Slovenians to work together but that's also dicey Looking forward to seeing it all unfold Mntboy, lechatnoir and Vetplant 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they're stronger than most perceive them to be but obviously not as strong as Ineos. Ineos has the problem of how to balance the ambitions of such a strong group of potential leaders and that could very much work in the favour of both teams with a Slovenian in it. Will the friendlies work together or not? I think it likely but only to the point where they neutralise any other threat to them and then it's race on I reckon. Basically this will be one very very interesting battle for Yellow. I reckon Pogacar will take the win but it'll be one helluva ride. Stage 1 Prediction is MVDP.

If I use my user name then all is good. It’s a gremlin in the system. So sometimes am forced to go in with the less used, if this makes senses? you don’t seem to rate the official fantasy from TDF?

But the Veteran rider in the bunch might surprise here. With a Stage Win at the Dauphine, he still has the kick required.

It depends on which veteran you're referring to. The Brit or the Spaniard? I'd be happy if G had a good performance a whole lot less so if Mr Peaks 365 has a good one.
