thebigbean hasn't been on since Saturday so I thought someone better get this thread started before the weekend so people can get their picks down before Sunday.

Some very strong teams being fielded, parcours not as punchy as the last couple of years but should see some good racing, the Col d'Eze TT is also back.

Official site has everything routes, profiles, teams etc

http://www.letour.fr/us/

Start list here too

http://www.procyclingstats.com/race/Paris_nice_2015-startlist

For new players you will need to choose an overall GC pick and your stage picks - The GC pick and stage 1 pic will need to be in by 12 on Sunday.

    Thanks mr_poll for starting the thread. I forgot about it which is pretty poor form having volunteered for it!

    Anyway, a few things to note:
    1. There is a prologue and a stage one which is always good for PTP confusion.
    2. Usual 12 noon BST cut off
    3. I really appreciate full last names of the riders

    Link to the scores

    Full names, eh. OK

    GC: Richard Julian Porte
    Prologue: Lars Anthonius Johannes Boom (because this is marginally funnier than Tony Hans-Joachim Martin)

    Full last names as opposed to the "Little Prince" or Kwia. It's really not that hard and makes my life easier.

    Is it worth just editing our original post to include the new stages?

    Editing posts is tantamount to cheating.

    GC I've no idea, could be one of Sky's triple threat, but will probably end up being none of them.

    But I'm likely to be incommunicado over the weekend so...

    GC - Tom Dumoulin to make his breakthrough
    P - Geraint Thomas
    1 - Alexander Kristoff
