What's Your VDS Tour Team?

It appears that all the teams have announced their Tour de France startlists and from what I hear those teams are anxiously awaiting who we VDS owners have on our teams. So let's oblige them and name our teams toot sweet- and that includes those folks here who have Tour-only teams as the rest of us are anxious to see how you will wipe the floor with our teams.

Oh and be sure to state the name of your team too because then we can go back to the standings and note how many teams will probably pass our own before this trip around France is over and Al Trautwig has said his last bit of wisdom.

Sprinters!

Wow, Oscarito, Thor, Robbie Mac, and Cav on the same team! Good thing it’s virtual as I don’t know how they’d work out the team “dynamics” in the bunch sprints in reality. With Benna and Boonen out you have all the A list sprinters, minus Robbie Hunter, maybe. Too bad (for you) there’s not a VDS green jersey for sprint/flat stage points.

Looking really, really bad with the loss of Boonen and Dekker. I have zero sprinters, a few possible climbers and no TT hopes. I’m rooting for the 30 minute breakaway.

50 points seems even harder now! Is there a best of the 50’s consolation prize?

So maybe they shouldn’t cancel all the sprint stages. Just the hectic ones that see poor cav shoved to the back and then complaining about the dangers of non-sprinters trying to sprint.

near as i can tell, tdf only players are gypped...

with only 10 players…. while the year-rounders can have, what, between 12 and 17 (going by what’s listed here)

by umwolverine on Jun 30, 2008 6:07 PM EDT   0 recs

Well...

it seems like the Giro-only players did fine with 10, as that was more than a lot of year-long teams had. But the Tour… apparently a lot of us year-longers picked riders out of the Tour pool. Or maybe the ones with three guys going just haven’t commented here. I wouldn’t make any assumptions about the outcome just yet.

Also, as we’ve said all along, the year-longers made their decisions based on what we knew in February.

All is good Chris - just remind us next January of this

and I’m sure we’ll all be on top of getting in the year long.
The 50 pts and 10 riders is an ouch just because almost everyone who is anyone rides the Tour where the Giro was a bit quieter.
I’d imagine the Vuelta will be easier too. I’ll have mine in shortly. :-)

Carrefive presented by the Arden Concept Group

Since I’ve been BSn’ on this site now for some months, I figured I’d better step up and present a team.

GC – Cunego & Zubeldia
White Jersey – Lovkvist & Kreuziger
Stages – Sylvian Chavanel, Sandy Casar, Pinotti, Quinziato, Hesjedal, & Pate.

Total cost – 48 points!!

Just so you know, numbers that end in 8 are considered auspicious in the Chinese culture.
I guess we’ll find out on that.

Personally, I like the mandated 10 rider thing and would suggest for next year to modify the rules to keep all teams at 10 riders, or better yet make it 9 so we are required to match the actual size of the teams in the race.

Also, I do actually like the 50 pts thing for the guys who don’t run the whole season. I think it helps even us out with the season long guys who have had to build teams for every race on the calendar.

Colin's Crew TdF only....for what it's worth

Juan Mauricio Soler: Triple Threat. Polka Dot, White, and potential GC
Haimar Zubeldia: Top ten(I hope)
Jaroslav Popovych: Top ten last year, can he repeat that?
Cyril Dessel: For 1 point how could you not pick him??? Total sleeper
Robbie Hunter: The next big sprinter? He is at the right age for max strength.
Oscar Pereiro Sio: Only TdF champ in field, a bargain at 2 points. SUPER Domestique
Maxime Monfront: A good young prospect, first TdF let’s see how he handles himself
Christian Vandevelde: Stage maybe
Alexandre Botcharov: Stage Win maybe
Johan Van Summeren: This guy is a work beast, maybe one day he will get some glory. Always at the front working

All this for 49 points! I believe some of the year long teams will be very hard to beat. Example is Giant Rider above, his/her first three riders total 63 points alone, and yes they are all riding the tour…...YIKES. Nice team
