@ozzybmx
Am I recalling correctly that we need to select two riders from each of the ‘categories’, or can you select as many as you want from any category?

you cannot exceed 5 all-rounders, 3 climbers, 3 sprinters and 3 leaders in your squad.

My team is picked but I'll get a bit of time in the next few days to study up the form and finalise

Be careful when planning a swap mid game as its caught me before, trying to put a 4th leader in.

what's the rough cost to do a trade?
I assume it gets more expensive the further into the tour we get, but in the first week are we talking closer to 5 points or 15?

Everyone has 8 trades. Plan carefully Sometimes you have to carry a rider that has no chance in a stage just to save him for a later stage. You can't clear out 3 climbers and put in 3 sprinters every time there's a flat stage or two... well you can but it will bite you in the ass later.

Rider prices do not change, whatever price they are now, is the price to the end.

First timer, blood doped to the max. Am I doing it right? Shave down tomorrow night.

Jonas or Pog?

Who's going to bring it home?

Dunno to be honest, stage 1 will be a learning stage.

 

[ozzybmx]

For those with GCN+, there's a GCN preview show on there.

1 day to go.

I started watching it, but then the cricket came on.

On the couch with cricket on TV, junior carnage on GCN on my the phone.

Time to lock in the team I guess.
Any last minute news on big names out, sick, injured?

Haven't looked yet, last minute lock in due soon.

I'll post up if I find any irregularities.

[ozzybmx]

I've broken my #1 rule, always leave 2-4 credits spare for trades.

I have zero left.

Reckon it the hardest to pick in quite a few years.

Who for double points team leader

 

[creaky]

Current GC top 5:

One sprint stage, then a couple of mountains, then another couple of flat/sprint stages I believe.

@ozzybmx - do we have 8 rider swaps through the race?

 

[Art Vanderlay]

Going to stick with the same team throughout. Will only swap a rider if they crash out.
I only have one ok sprinter which I think will be my undoing. In the long term he is a chance for the green jersey though.

Yeah 8 swaps.

I dumped Pog one hour before the start of stage 1 and put MVP in instead, also made him road captain. Bad move.
