TDU stage 2.

I nearly went for the German from giant shimano, but finally plumped for an fdj winner of a stage in a grand tour 2013

May not change anything for stage 3....meaning i can get 2 extra sprinters in for stage 4 and get them back out again for WillHill and then 4 transfers for the big sprint stage at the end.

Sooo glad I put Gavazzi in. The Italians are doing me a lot of favours so far.

Also do we have seperate badges for our standard and purist teams now as well?

But the comment on the purist badges (when you won it) refers to when you won the standard badge.

I've won bugger all on Pursit team but it says I won puncheur on Stage 2 TDU, which I won with Ulissi on my standard team. With Rojas in my purist, this is not a situation which is likely to change.

not what i can see in the db - you won a sprinter's badge on stage 1 for your purist team and you have three (inc puncheur) for your standard. is that not what you're seeing?

Yup - looks that way - although the chances of me ever seeing a purist badge appear slight.

By the way, on badges I should theoretically have earned a bookend badge - but is it not applicable to this competition? Or am I missing something on the badges bit.

If I don't get it I shall weep copious tears as it's unlikely to happen again...

Hello. I have never heard of Campbell Flakemore. Does this make me a bad person?

1,2,9,15,19 for me (plus a smattering of breakaway points). I traded out Gavazzi before stage one and haven't brought him back, which is probably a mistake. Still probably won't make any transfers for S3, save them for later.

Flakemore's in my squad for this stage. Seems like a very, very long time ago that I last picked a rider in a small escape.

Looks like Hansen might've bagged me a couple of points too. They all count!

Break out in front - Will Clark (again!) and Boy Van Poppel.

Two abandons - David Tanner (Belkin) and Jose Joaquin Rojas (Movistar). Sniff! Sad to see them go  22
