Table talk!
I love it. Let me just say that of the dozens of teams so far, none are exactly like this. So at least it won't be a tie.

Thanks
Did my best job. It's only very hard to get a good mix with stages winners and riders how can win a Tour. Because it's the first year I dont exactly know the best mix. (Mix between tour winner and a stage winner)
But my tactic: I picked 20 riders with a averge from 75/20=3,75 and 5 riders with a average of 75/5=15. Hopefully the right tactic.

I used a similar
lineup (different riders, but same concept) to build my team.  In my opinion serious GC contenders may promise a high finish in Paris, but they tend to use every other race as a warm up.
