Title: [SPOILER!!] Potential TCAT picks
Post by: Glüc on June 26, 2024, 03:22:51 PM
Here are some of the TCAT picks I am considering. Lüc has agreed to add his own list (when he has time) for comparison. Obviously contains potential spoilers for my team so don't look if you don't want to know.

Then again also some potential useful pointers for riders to consider.

Ok I agreed to do my version without looking at Glüc's list beforehand so I didn't know he also put classes and credits. Anyway:

Riders I want to pick
Tadej Pogacar
Adam Yates
Carlos Rodriguez
Mads Pedersen
Paul Lapeira
Pello Bilbao
Santiago Buitrago
Jasper Philipsen
Alberto Bettiol
Maxim van Gils
Derek Gee
Magnus Cort

Riders I might pick for value reasons
Matej Mohoric
Wout Poels
Giulio Ciccone
Dylan Groenewegen
Dorian Godon
Marijn van den Berg
Victor Campenaerts
Toms Skujins
Alex Aranburu
Fernando Gaviria
Oscar Onley
Jonas Abrahamsen

Riders who might be really good picks that should be considered
Richard Carapaz
Jonas Vingegaard
Primoz Roglic
Enric Mas
Wout van Aert
Joao Almeida
Juan Ayuso
Remco Evenepoel
Giulio Ciccone
Lenny Martinez
Romain Gregoire
Stephen Williams
Oier Lazkano
Kevin Vauquelin

Bonus: big name riders (or TCAT usual suspects) you shouldn't want
David Gaudu, because he seems to always disappoint
Simon Yates, because he hasn't done much of note this year
Christophe Laporte, his only chance at points is maybe sprinting (if Van Aert doesn't)
Felix Gall, he's been unremarkable for a whole year now
Mathieu van der Poel, he's basically training for the Olympics and being Philipsen's luxury leadout
Geraint Thomas, he's here as a domestique for Rodriguez and/or Bernal
Jai Hindley, ditto but for Roglic
Arnaud Démare, hasn't been competitive in sprints for a long while
Mark Cavendish, the only way he wins his record 35th stage is if they let him
Phil Bauhaus, he's not gonna finish Tour
Axel Laurance, he's been impressive but he will be a Philipsen leadout

So I guess we mostly agree, with some exceptions. Only 13 hours to finalise/submit your team!
