PG - La Vuelta Stage 4

Sprinters have a chance!

The Favourites

Not many opportunities for the quickish men that are here and this is one of them. Of course it also means there’s not a bunch of teams working to bring it back. Groves and Cocky’s teams will be willing and probably the Effers but that’s probably it though DSM will be up on confidence. So if they can’t control the strength of the break, it’s not a forgone conclusion.

Not sure about the weather and if the wind is up again, depending on the direction, that might be the key. So a coin toss it is. Headwind for a sprint. Tailwind for the break!

Good luck with your picks.

Here's the startlist.

The Rules

In this game, only the race results matter. You're not committed to keeping the same riders throughout the series, you make fresh picks before every race. Our overall competition is just the sum of individual race scores. You're eligible for the overall even if you miss some races.

Pick 4 riders for the upcoming race. The order of your picks doesn't matter. All of your riders can score.

Riders score points down to 10th place. Less popular riders score more points than heavily-picked favourites. See below for scoring details.

The strict entry deadline is the official start time of the race, the neutralized roll-out or Départ Fictif. Be warned - if your post is timestamped one minute late your entry won't count! So do remember that there's no disadvantage to getting an entry in early, even the day before, because you may always change your picks up until the deadline. Feel free to rethink your picks when it emerges which riders are more or less popular with other players. If you make changes, post your revised 4 picks in a reply to your original post.
