Coquard
Rojas
Stuyven
Alaphilippe
Mezgec
Latour

Purist
Add Valverde, Uran and the Fat Slow Colombian for Coquard, Rojas and Stuyven. I now worry Betancur was too costly and I should really have Dan Martin

Remembered about this comp with just an hour go on the deadline so its been a bit of a rushed selection.
Standard.

Richie Porte
Jose Joaquin Rojas Gil
Luka Mezgec
Tosh Van Der Sande
Carlos Alberto Betancur
Carlos Barber
Rigoberto Uran
Daniel Navarro

Purist.

Rigoberto Uran

Gianni Meersman? Had an email saying he's removed from the roster but where has this information come from? Nothing on his Twitter or Etixx-quickstep?

Cant quite get my strategy right for week races with these new transfers and no penalties. Ive tried to predict future stages before and its not panned out and had to use transfers anyway

So for today ive gone full on sprint and we shall go from there

Select all riders and you can pick those riders

I would update the startlist but i cant as im at work
