Only 4 riders picked, and only 15.1 left. Hmmm, may need a rethink.

None of it was that secretive!
You need to go to competitions then select tour of Qatar. Should switch over from tdu on the pick team screen.
I thought we could have 3 from any one team.
I had a whole new strategy worked out, that was going to blow everyone's socks off.
I'm going to give it a go with what I've got, for Qatar, but I don't think it's going to work out.

strong and stable with me, or...
I'm a bit shocked to have made top 5. Can we end the competition now please!?

Still 2 per team I think.
No I thought last year we could have 3.

I've tried to pick my team a couple of times for Qatar and keep getting frustrated, this is so pointless. Pick Cav, a random assortment of other sprinters trying to get second place and a bunch of no hopers from the small conti teams. What is the point in the Tour of Qatar really, it would be worth watching if Greipel and Cav were there, just one of them = boring procession.
Well if you'd come to the strategy meeting, you'll know how to turn this into a points bonanza.
A bonanza I tells yer.

You've also got Sagan to mix it up this year.
John Degenkolb?
Ben Swift?
Mat Goss?
Jeff Soup?
Daniele Bennati?

Doesn't look like he is on top form yet. The sprint that Modolo won in San Luis should have been right up Sagan's street, yet he finished 5th behind Modolo, Cav, Howard and Debusschere (??, exactly). At 40 credits I shall be steering clear of young Sagan, and I am sure it will prove a mistake but sometimes you have to take a risk.

Swift looks over priced to me. Matt Goss is too inconsistent considering the amount of work Greenedge do for him. Soupe, I like but he prefers a harder stage before the sprint generally. If Goss is inconsistent then Bennati defines the word. Not sure where I am going to go, maybe leave it a few days and pick my team once the final team lists are out.
I don't care about the terrain Jeff Soup's name is going to be cropping up regularly

Just had a (rough) read of Le Tour de France 2012 thread, whatever happened to Stoickhov (sp) and why is it in 'the other stuff'.
Maybe someone said a naughty word!

Bloody annoying end to TDU for me, reminding me just how frustrating this game can be 
Anyway, well played Pantani on a convincing win 
What's strange is the mug I brought in for the last stage on the assumption that he may have some chance of being in the Top 3 for the stage finished no where and has now gone UP in price for Tour of Qatar! I haven't checked the profiles yet but from this I can only assume they must be pan flat throughout for his value to have gone up for this with the form he's carrying
A quick glance at the prices for Tour of Qatar tells me they must be having a laugh. I can see there being loads of complaints about the prices and I can see a re-jigging coming before this race gets underway.
