Help Megabeth Pick Her VDS Team: LIVE THREAD!
It's time for the smackdown! Who's going to come out on top...who's going to be left behind. Will peer pressure (fueled by beer and cheese) and chance beat out the team of knowledge and logic? And, most importantly, will this VDS even survive Le Tour? Time will only tell!
Let's get started after the jump...
A recap of the rules straight from the preview thread:Using company resources, I have printed out every rider on the VDS spreadsheet. I have cut them out into little slips. Those riders that are not riding in Le Tour have been placed into the Trashcan of Sadness. I have grouped the remaining riders together based on their point value and we'll start with the highest and work our way to the onesies and twosies.
I will draw a rider, and then there will be five minutes of discussion of why or why not I should include that rider. If I do not choose the rider, I will draw again and I must keep the rider from the second draw. And of course, five minutes doesn't necessarily mean five minutes. If someone makes an irrefutable point, we move on. If I get silence? It will be a lonnnng five minutes of lonely sad. Do you want that?
Just to prove that everything is on the up and up, the following has been examined and approved by an in-house self-delegated independent Podium Cafe Referee. This includes:
The preparation of the slips...
The slips in wait..
The cycling-approved devices in which the slips will be drawn...
And, The Trash Can of Sadness:
And, of course, the beer, cheese and wine that will be taken in during each round.
In the comments below, I will submit my first draw. During each round, I will also let you know what point values are included in that draw. And, I'll let you know what cheese we're eating in celebration of the picked rider.
As we get towards the end, we might have to call for substitutions and switches so we don't exceed the point rule. (Word of Warning: While I did get my MBA from an Ivy League school, my math skilz still require me to use my fingers. I may require some input of which point value group to hit next for those who can add faster than I.)
So, the first question before I do the first draw.
Am I going for GC or points jerseys? (That way, I know who to include in the hat.)
Let the games and peer pressure begin!
Edited to add:
Carlos Sastre has been added to the team.

Ok, folks.
I’ll give a grace period of 3 extra minutes for the GC vs. Jersey argument since some of ya’ll are still getting over here. Don’t let me down!
you should go for both!
(I should mention that I am likely to have the worst advice possible given that I only follow cycling during the Tour de France and I mostly pick my guys based on things like “good hair,” “was funny once,” and “has a name I would like to say out loud.”)
GC all the way
Because GC guys tend to get points in a variety of ways…

Hi, all! Megabeth, what a great idea!
I missed the team presentation today (wtf, I thought it was tomorrow,) and was so happy to see your planned Event. I’ve cracked open a Smithwick, in honor of Dan Martin’s withdrawl, poor guy.
Who did you pick first? To hell with the rainbow, let’s get going! :-)
Wait, aren't you in the twin cities?
Where did you find a Smithwick’s? I don’t think I’ve ever seen that around here.

GC
The GC winner should get you 800 points, minimum. 1200-1400 max (Contasdor from stage one to the end)
Green jersey winner- Cav- may get you what 700 max.
But you have to pick the GC winner. Out of a hat.
So I still say, pick the name and then we’ll see.

Okay, so maybe 5 min
was a bit optimistic,re: local processing power. I think GC is the aim here. Plus, that will still allow for cheaper green jersey thrills.
Yeah. Though I'm feeling a lot of love for Oscarito these days, I've got him on the Ed's League.
I desperately need him to score me some quality points this July….
For our purposes today, I say …..dump him. :-)

Carlos will podium
He will not win.
I kept the Carlos faith last year. I still respect the guy. I just don’t think he has the suppor to do it.
i took him in mine
but yeah, maybe is too riskyy.
But the great value of him is this, i think much more people choose Contador, so if you have Sastre instead Conta, you will be at front of many ppl. Ok, can be in the other way….
The scary part
is how Ursula has the GC placings points memorized at least 7 deep.

Augh, seriously, another rider from my Ed's League team.
Love him. But if you keep picking, you might get a rider who will place higher than he can. Dump him.
More:
This horde of slaves, traitors, plotting kings,
What do they want?
For whom these vile shackles,
These long-prepared irons? (repeat)
Frenchmen, for us, oh! what an insult!

He may still ride the tour, so this invalidates your whole process and you need to start over.

I think only one rider has been picked.
It’s a slow and scientific process. Or something.
Also, you bitches
need to be clear on who has been selected already. As I believe there is some cheese to be eaten. Sastre = Drunken Goat cheese. Mmmmm.
is that 16 or 18 pts?
