Can you switch Durbridge for Schumacher The Rider?
Spoiler I said that earlier as well
Things got hectic, and my 1st, 2nd and 3rd choices for a good TTist were all gone, so that's why Durbridge wasn't in my reserves. Ok?

Just for the record, squad as it will look in-game
1. | Simon Spilak | | | | 74 | 2. | Fabio Aru | | | | 72 | 3. | David Blanco | | | | 72 | 4. | Kenny Elissonde | | | | 71 | 5. | Ignatas Konovalovas | | | | 71 | 6. | Thomas Peterson | | | | 72 | 7. | Klaas Lodewyck | | | | 72 | 8. | Tomas Vaitkus | | | | 72 | 9. | Oliver Zaugg | | | | 72 |
Edit: Reda in the thread replaced by Peterson, hadnt seen Kwiat was picked already and with Reda ive got 2 IT and 2 LT. With Peterson, all is solved

Was trying to figure this out looking at my board, then realized I took all the 73+ off, so I'm figuring you mean a 74 guy.
Otherwise for the 72s my GC ranks were:
1: Szymd
2: Dombrowski
3: Kashechkin
4: Pires
5: Serpa

Sorry JesleyH,
no changes to squads allowed unless riders are taken out due to the rules being breached. Otherwise, once all squads are in, people would want to change the squads willy nilly.
@ManMissile and Kentaurus - I have made the changes |

Yep, the 2nd best 74 AVG GC rider its up for choose.
Same list for me, i choosed Serpa higher because the higher MO stat and Jeanesson because home advantage (beeing french) |

That's not completely fair, I've got disadvantage of sending in additional reserves now.
I mean, Schumacher is used, because I've put so many reserves out there.
If I hadn't put any reserve out there, you would have asked who I should've replaced Castroviejo with. I would have answered Durbridge, just like TMM did, who hadn't got any reserves, and put down Bobridge f.e, because missing out of one of his riders, so he was free to choose any rider, because he didn't put down a reserve.
(Edit: And Selwink above, choosing Peterson)
Now, in my reserve list, I had Tuft(only in case of Castroviejo missing out) and Kwiatkowski(only in case Tuft missing out after Castroviejo missing out).
2 replacements for Castroviejo. But now, I haven't got a single TTist, because I wrote down some reserve guys. That should be rewarded, not punished for
This turned into a big rant, and made it look like I'm angry. I'm not, I just want Durbridge(in my opinion, that'd be fair )
Edit: Nvm, don't really need him anymore. Point still stands though, it wouldn't be really fair.

Screw the GC, Hinault should do very well in the sprints and so far is pretty much unchallenged

Yeah, way too much climbers, way too less sprinters

Yes, wise choosing. MAybe VAntomme or Lydewick can beat him when in Belgium, but after that France its hes playground |

I must say though, taking a sprinter is very clever because everyone is staring blind on the GC (just like most real cycling `fans`)

Yes, and I guess that a lot of the next guys are going to take a climber that could make Top 5 GC, while there are plenty of 74 sprinters up for grabs, that could make a win(and a lot of points) easily.
Well, actually, I'm ruining Chavanel's chances now with this post
