From Stage 17 on, my Mençeis dropped in the ranks at a steady rate.  They finish nearly last, a testament to the shortcomings of my "buy the highest priced favorites and then try to fill in the gaps" strategy.  For TCAT France, I'll be switching it up.

Luc, thank you for running this -- super fun as usual to follow along!

A very nice first run for Team In The Wind @Crement Itravilatx and at least my Posse didn't come in last.

A deal's a deal hun..

Not a terrible strategy at all, and actually one that worked very well in the past, especially in TCAT France, ironically!

Unfortunately this time the second highest priced favourite, Pellizzari, was still a bit too inexperienced for a three week stage race and bombed. Next month, the second highest priced favourite is almost certainly going to be Vingegaard himself. Pretty reliable and hard to pass up on.
