I hate Valverde in PCM, if he lead one day, he wins every fucking day after, also in the sprint stages, and overall with 10 minutes... |

That's true Valverde has almost 9 minutes in front of Cunego.
Boom has 69 in sprint, but he is recovering well on the downhills(82), and is quite good on hills and flat- 72 both

So you mean PCM isn't very realistic ( cause it would never arrive to Valverde in reality )

He will be there to support Cav and Greipel, but Valverde will win points in the mountain stages too so it's hard to win it

I see...

(Dessel I know Valverde wins a lot in PCM but all my hate is directed to Riccò!)

We have to not spam down the story !
Alex, why not go for the points jersey with Boom? Set him in morning breaks and let Cav support him |

If when you say support you mean that Cav lead him in the sprint that is really hard to do cause Cavendish is way better in normal sprints that Boom and it's imposible for Boom to take his wheel

You need a decent climber to win the points jersey, I think.
The mountain men will clean up in the later stages... |
