I think I've finalised my squad at last. Swapped in Rodriguez for Rujano after some thinking. Quite satisfied with how it looks at the moment.

Big question for me is whether I should go for Basso/Schleck or Scarponi/Gadret. The more I think of it, the more I'm wondering

Gobby pls Team, not Freitas(PCM) Team's roster here
| Rider | Team | Cost | | Michele SCARPONI | LAM | 24 | | Roman KREUZIGER | AST | 14 | | John GADRET | ALM | 8 | | Jose Luis RUJANO | AND | 12 | | Sacha MODOLO | COG | 6 | | Dario CATALDO | OPQ | 6 | | Marco PINOTTI | BMC | 8 | | Roberto FERRARI | AND | 4 | | Joaquím RODRÍGUEZ | KAT | 18 |
Not a super team like last year, so I'm hoping for, perhaps, a top-30, at least, in this edition. I hope Scarpo, Purito, Gadret and Kreuziger fight for the GC/Top-5, with some stage wins. Rujano, I don't know if he's gonna take a good result for granted in a flat, windy stage, so I'm hoping he can show his skills in the mountains. Modolo/Ferrari, cheap sprinters, for the first weeks, hope they don't disappoint. Lastly, Cataldo and Pinotti for a top-15, and some points in a few stages, I hope. Cataldo is this year's risky pick. |

Haha, it would be funny if there were teams with the same riders here.  Don't think it has ever happened.

I went for a team I'd like to have rather than optimum team I think.
Choose Ballan and Ullisi as I like them both, and hope they can get stage wins somewhere. I choose Szmyd as well hoping Basso fails and he'll become Liquigas leader, that was very sentimental choice too ^^

Sacha MODOLO COG 6
Tom SLAGTER RAB 4

I think this is my final team. I have changed my mind alot of times. Those who was close was Rasmussen, Larsson, Phinney, Boaro, Hansen, Ulissi, Impey, Gatto, Pozzato, BRUSEGHIN, MEERSMAN, Pinotti,BENNATI, NIEVE, POZZOVIVO, KREUZIGER. Well I had problems to pick my team. |

I'm so happy with my team...
| Michele SCARPONI | LAM | 24 | | Roman KREUZIGER | AST | 14 | | John GADRET | ALM | 8 | | Joaquím RODRÍGUEZ | KAT | 18 | | Francisco Jose VENTOSO | MOV | 6 | | Roberto FERRARI | AND | 4 | | Taylor PHINNEY | BMC | 4 | | Andrea GUARDINI | FAR | 4 | | Ivan BASSO | LIQ | 18 |
Arguably 4 of the 5 biggest GC favourites plus Gadret, with 3 sprinters and Phinney, who stands a decent chance of winning the prologue and spending most of the first week in pink, as well as being on a team with a fair chance in the TTT.

Ryder HESJEDAL GRM 8
Demare and Meersman are there simply because they're awesome, same goes for Hesjedal. Kreuziger, Scarponi and Rodriguez are all aggressive GCriders, who I think will get a couple of nice stage placings the first 2 weeks aswell. Ferrari and Gadret because they did well last year. |

Finally, it's decided, after changing half my team in the last minute:
| Michele SCARPONI | LAM | 24 | | Roman KREUZIGER | AST | 14 | | Jose Luis RUJANO | AND | 12 | | John GADRET | ALM | 8 | | Mark CAVENDISH | SKY | 20 | | Andrea GUARDINI | FAR | 4 | | Beñat INTXAUSTI | MOV | 6 | | Enrico BATTAGLIN | COG | 4 | | Ryder HESJEDAL | GRM | 8 |

Jose Luis RUJANO AND 12
John GADRET ALM 8
Matthew GOSS GEC 12
Sylvester SZMYD LIQ 6
Arnaud DEMARE FDJ 4
Marco PINOTTI BMC 8
Ivan BASSO LIQ 18
As always, my strategy is swap riders at random until you get exactly 100 points. I'm sure Goss will be a bad choice, and Demare won't do anything, while Basso and Rujano have had their day, and Szmyd will wait for Basso. While Hesjedal will withdraw half way through to focus on the tour. Pinnotti should get a top ten on the final day though, and Scarponi will probably podium in the overall, so two of my team aren't useless.

YEah, decent team. I just have a feeling going for Farrar was a mistake, but he was the only 16pt rider and I wanted to be on exactly 100 pts

This plan is working out nicely so far.

Sigh the one time I don't take Phinney...Kept thinking last year he was going to win one of these... I'm sure this was just to spite me for not picking him.
