Criterium Du Dauphine prologue
Thought i'd start one for a change. This should be an interesting one. Will Wiggins breathing let him down, Will Gilbert wake up. Will Cobo show the Vuelta wasn't a fluke.
Will Sylvian Chavanel win a stage?
Time will tell.
Real teams only here please guys. 
Here is mine.
Bradley Wiggins (SKY)
Rein Taaramae (COF)
John Degenkolb (ARG)
Arnold Jeannesson (FDJ)
Blel Kadri (ALM)
Joost Posthuma (RSN)
Lieuwe Westra (VCD)
Bram Tankink (RAB)
Luke Durbridge (GRE)
Now you know why it's called "another bunch of losers". eh. No Tony martin, every time I pick him he does rubbish, so good for all you guys.

labMonkey
I understand your point, but I remove my congratulations to you...sorry.
LabMonkey - apology accepted, and your right it is only a game so no hard feelings from me
@samjackson54 - know the feeling, only I managed to remove Durbridge in favour of Pauriol last night having looked at the previous form this year
I really need to go with my instinct on these - that's not the first time I've done that (most recent was only two stages ago, not putting de Gendt in on the stage to the Stelvio)...
... one day I'll learn!!!
Only put Durbrudge in after Zabriskie pulled out
though my other research fell flat - Rogers beat Porte last week and van Garderen wasn't far behind Zabriskie at the USA nat champs so fnished between 20 and 30 today!
Well 118 points is better than a kick in the teeth I suppose...
1,2,5,19 I think
So wiggo is going to win
1,2,12,18,19 dropped millar and Meyer
i ended up with 5 and 11, oops. Just gonna make 1 transfer for tomorrow as i really dont know what to do
get roulston out.
Well i ended up with 2,6,11,12 with Tankink just squeezed out in 21st.
Haven't a clue how many points though.
1, 2, 12, 18
Wish I'd gone with instincts and shoved Barredo in there now
1,2,17,20...et al
Surprised that my last choice DS guys outperformed all but 2 of my big hitters.
about 100 points for me.
Well done labmonkey hopefully that will see you up the overall again.
This has not started so well....
agreed, 1,2,5,18,32,47,56,85 & 124
ouch

2,5,12,19. not very good.
1,2,4,5,6,12 for me today.
You have made your transfers after the start of the prologue (Barredo, Gerrans, Plaza...) a very good strategy... but I don't know if it's ethical
I am a scamp and I will go to hell. Haha. Rules are rules.
Not that it matters to me cos i'm miles behind the leaders but i think some people might be a bit peeved with transfers after the stage has started considering the end result in your score. I know its not your fault and i cant blame you for doing it, and as you say rules are rules but i can see a bit of a stink heading towards the powers that be.
Edit for quote button error. See comment below.
In all seriousness now, you are both correct, I was a bit naughty today. I send my apologies to one and all. It is only a game after all.
Wiggins comes second by not very much, good ride by Durbridge
..currently sitting on 4/10/16/17 so not disastrous. Wiggins, LL Sanchez, Roulston still to come.
1,4,9,17,18 for me, just roulston to manage something!
Gone with
Taaramae
Wiggins
Martin
L Sanchez
Durbridge
Kluge
Florencio
Westra
Sorensen
3 in Top 10 so far with 4 to ride.
