Fantasy Giro 2014

[SWSteve]

My first stab at fantasy cycling and I fully expect to perform so badly that it'll be my last!

DONT FORGET THE PTPP thread

How an earth am I 16th overall!! The steady slide down the table begins now l think.

Only pozzovivo didn't score me points yesterday

 

[tug benson]

Am in...

Bugger. Mrs Shadow picked a certain Irishman - Daniel Martin. On the other hand, she also picked Svein Tuft. I think she has probably already reached her peak at 4th! Chapeau to Ciaran Tsangari.

Dammit down to third ah well it was good while it lasted.

Pozzovivo still has nil points and he's my third most expensive pick

 

[The Couch]

It seems Evans is going to keep his jersey for a while, so without him in my team I won't have much of shot at a good podium.
... Actually my (but I guess many of us) top-pick Quintana is looking quite fragile to even be locked for a top 3 finish

but at least I have risen from dead last (after Kittel's first victory) to 6th place

 

[tug benson]

Sitting 15th in the league just now...Will look to move up the board when we hit the real climbs

 

[Kiwiavenger]

I have Evans, uran, pozzovivo and viviani in my fantasy team so looking pretty at present!! Will be interesting when they hit the proper mountains.

Garmin should really change their tyres

Just climbed onto the podium (although I am only marginally ahead of 5th place).

Seems like more and more it's going to be the lack of Aru instead of Evans that will spoil a possible victory. (Evans seems to slowly but surely slipping back in the GC)
I was hesitating with my last pick between Arredondo, Duarte and Aru, all of them being for 8 points.
(Then again Rabottini and Swift weren't - except for keeping costs low - the best of choices either it seems)

 

[Kiwiavenger]

I picked uran, Evans, pozzovivo and viviani who seem to be picking me up decent points so far!

A lot of my picks where purely who i heard of lately and regarded by the commentators lol

I think this is the first year in following pretty much everything (including today's pro USA race on tour tracker)

 

[SWSteve]

Dan Martin has shafted me. He was bloody expensive and has earned 0 points.

 

[Shadow]

Mrs S couldn't agree more. But as she is now #16 in CC league, she probably cares less than you!!

 

[The Couch]

Don't have the same good feeling than in the Vuelta with my choices
(so this time you all got a chance )

And....that's 2 for 2

Although I do realize this time my picks weren't that great compared to last year's Vuelta

 

[tug benson]

Finished 9th.... Logie kirk destroyer indeed
