The bloke is nuts, which just makes him more awesome.

Doesn't look like he's riding on Sunday now though. Also seems like Talansky and Terpstra aren't rider either.

One things for sure, anyone unable to check their starting team on Sunday morning for late changes/withdrawals could be onto a loser before they even start.

:lol:

I've been back to that old drawing board several times and no doubt it'll still get much use yet before Sunday comes.

For anyone not already using it, you can look here for the latest start list. Might want to bookmark it because I'm not sure whether this link will auto update or not.

My replacements don't even come close to filling there boots.
But I have maintained my Team of no Thought ethos.

Dave Millar has rain, this afternoon.

David Millar ‏@millarmind
14:22 start time for 5.7km prologue here at Dauphine. Storms predicted and so I anticipate rain falling circa 14:19. Normalement.

Bollox, one of my left field doms I had high hopes for isn't starting now either. Going to have to rethink and put a team in right at the last minute for this one.

I'm going with:-

Martin, Dehaes, Fernandez, Gerrans
Berado, Porte, Tankink, Iglinsky, Weening.

More GC than prologue.
5.7 kms is to much of a lottery to take seriously, so I guessed a team to get me through the first couple of days.

OH FFS !, now I've missed the transfer deadline too. Had it in mind, after looking last night, that it was 11.30 deadline.

1 dom down already then, and more importantly, a precious transfer wasted tomorrow.

My team is :

Wiggins, Degenkolb, Rogers, Matthews. Westra Coppel, Posthuma (now not riding), Roulston, Kelderman.

Doesn't Durbridge count then :p

Loads of people had him in.

I'm saving my proper TT's for the proper TT and hoping most of my lot get me through until then. Odd tactics and already I'm beginning to regret it :facepalm:

My 13 yr old's team entered on the site :

Wiggins, Van Garderen, Sammy Sanchez, Millar. Durbridge, Kelderman, Kluge, Howard, Iglinskiy.


Needless to say he's already giving it the big 'un.
