    Men’s RR: Edvald Boasson Hagen (is he elites or U23?)

    Elite. U23s can't enter the U23 race if they're on a Pro Tour team.

    Damn, didn't realise Karin Thürig is a local girl. Could be a good bet.

    I had the same thought and went for her. Wish I'd played safe now and picked Armstrong, as I'd originally thought to do!

    There ought to be a bonus system in play here, whereby if you pick a rider that no-one else has bothered with, and that rider actually wins, you get some extra points. Encourages a bit of risk-taking instead of so many Cunegos, Cancellaras, etc.

    The trouble with that is that the people who post early would be at a disadvantage to those who post later.

    It's a little like wrestling a gorilla. You don't quit when you're tired. You quit when the gorilla is tired.

    Women's RR: Marianne Vos

    The women's RR starts stupidly early on Saturday morning, so make sure you get your picks in on time.

    The Eurosport coverage starts at 07:45 British time... so say 08:00 is the deadline.

    I was going to suggest that maybe one rider could be excluded from selection for each stage in advance but then it makes it difficult when people post selections for, say, 10 days ahead. I like the idea though, especially when the same people win most sprints, TTs.
