The purist TDF thread (2014)
The place to share your purist team and discuss how it's getting on so far. With Cav, Froome & the good value Modolo all out, I'm guessing a few have already taken a hit, while those with Nibali & Sagan are sitting pretty.
FWIW, my team:
Sagan
Kittel
Machado
Bardet
Yates
Pinot
Izaguirre
Oliviera
Kruijswijk

Thinking of renaming mine 'Grey's Anatomy' with Froome and Modolo greyed out with ailments!!
I've lost Froome but still got all the rest so fingers crossed my others will do all right. Without a main GC man though i cant see me getting anywhere near the top end.

Currently hovering just outside the top 100, The leaders mostly appear to have Nibali, and if he stays in Yellow for the next week as appears reasonably possible, it is going to be difficult for me to make up much ground.

Utter tripe.
Ouch! bad luck.
I thought as I am rubbish at Purist that I would stage hunt.
Appears I am now stage hunting for the Lanterne Rouge.
It wasn't a bad idea and it had occurred to me too as a possibility, but with the sprint stages frontloaded, it seemed most people would have their teams crammed with sprinters at the start anyway.
My purist team got 4 points today.
I am Roy Hodgson.

Being as though i thought id made a mistake with Boom, I think in the end my purist team will end up ok apart from the lose of Modolo
Contador
Bardet
JVDB
Sagan
Boom
Visconti
Voeckler
Bideau
(Modolo)
Having looked at the teams ahead of me in the forum, I could/should gain ground back with the combo of Bardet/Contador/JVDB, and if Boom could get in a break or too as well, ive got a decent chance of doing well.
Never any good at the purists game socwent break away plus couple possible GC guys. Paid off a little bit with 2 going on breaks but T.J today has kinda messed me up I think?
