Yes,probably three Frenchmen as its their home tour plus the credit limit forces you to probably only pick one of the main guys (Voeckler, Rolland, Bouhanni) and try some of the cheaper riders.

I think Pinot will outscore everybody....unless TiVo has a blockbuster day like last year where he crests 4 Cat 1's first and wins the stage?

Three Frenchmen should also be more varied because you don't have such an obvious high scorer as Nibali was for the Giro.

How about three riders born in The low Counties.?

The Low Counties? Hampshire,Sussex and Kent? LOL

The Low CountRies would probably be good for Spring Classics or such?

Think if you did the Home Counties it would give you a bigger range of riders 26 3 as you could throw in riders from Surrey and Berkshire etc in to the mix

Right, game is closed!

I'll drop all these into a spreadsheet and announce the winner at the end of the race. If I'm really bored I might post a mid-race update.

Just done a check and no-one has Visconti and he's the highest scoring Italian already.

Was going to pick Visconti for my team but couldn't fit him in, typical !

Hope this isn't the story of my Giro.

He might be quite good in the MM stages and there are quite a few of them.

I think I might lead with Canola having 4 points.

Managed to cobble together a spreadsheet that's worked out the scores, top three are:

JAndrewHill - 100
taustin789 - 60
Mikeh789 - 55

with lots and lots of people hovering between 40 and 50 points.
