I have Evans and Wiggins, so I should have a not bad score
When Nothing goes rigth, go left...

didn't you think to read the previous 3 pages of people writing "i'm in" and the discussion on how many people have already joined. 
good luck everyone, though i think, that with the lack of top class riders in the race, everyones gonna have an identical team exept for the domestiques. |

Ringo: Not sure ppl with have identical teams! There is a choice of one of four top class sprinters and in the all rounders probably comes down to how well you rate Vino and the Liquigas duo.
The climbers is a strange one, Sastre seems to me a no brainer, below that I think Pozzovivo, Moncoutie, Arroyo, Moreno, Szmyd, Gadret all have their merits. Hell some may be tempted by Simoni!
The domesitiques will be interesting - I went for sprinters Henderson, Sabatini and a wildcard Jackson Rodriguez. I was tempted to go for Sacha Modolo...
In fact my wildcard was a sprinter too! |

It seems every rider I picked for the fantasy giro has crashed today. Not looking good.

Not bad, 2 of the top 5. And Evans is new leader, so that's a good start so far.  |

Yeah Evans has the lead. I wonder who didn't pick him on their team.

maybe i exagerated a bit. but then i wouldn't say there are 4 top class sprinters either. With the exception of Farrar none of the others would stand a chance against the likes of cav or thor in the tour. Griepel is worth a punt at 10 points but i would bet that very few have selected any other sprinter. (unless their tactic was to spend all their money on good domestiques and pick the cheapest sprinter available)
i guess also that 90% of the teams in the league will have both sastre and evans. and also most will have wiggins as he's garanteed a couple of tt wins if he doesn't crash.
that's 4 of the 9 spots filled so it will depend mostly on the domestiques.
obviously everyone has their own opinions, but i would be surprised if what i have said turns out to be wrong. |

I didn't, i wasted my star rider money on Sastre and McEwan. The morale of the story is don't pick old people.
Still a long way to go though, maybe Miller and Vino will shine for my team |

Greipel in 4th and Evans, Vino & Millar up there in the GC.. Fairly good day for my team
Sastre losing time was also good for me as I don't have him in the team. I used the money on some other stage win/high GC placing candidates. To win, you can't have the same team as everybody else |

Sastre will still be a good bet for a stage win or 2 in the mountains. He's the only real pure climber in the Giro. |

I will say it is even better if he is away on the GC. Maybe this way he has more opportunities to win a stage (like usually Cunego do.) |

wish they'd hurry up and update the first lot of points.
i'm not un-grateful. it's great that someone is running a free fantasy cycling game like this. ( thoughthe fact that they are following the giro around holland and italy in person makes me start to think that they are being paid quite well to do it)
i just want to start comparing my team to others and watch them drift slowly to the bottom of the league. |

My team is absolutly awful and im starting to fear my "clever" picks are all gonna fail completly. Vande Velde i had really high hopes for this time in the giro but he is already out. Uran and Pozzovivo been struggling badly in the first two stages.
At the moment i just hope i will not be last out of the 49 teams. |

And its free. There is one that advertises that its completely free, well it is .... to make a team but you have to pay to join a league and get into rankings.
