I was looking for someplace to comment on the Paris-Nice team choices of our little cabal of frequent offenders. Found none. Hence this thread.

For anyone not already afflicted, here's the info for the mini-league found engraved onto granite near some ruins by GrainBrain 's home. Join up, go for event wins, and rest assured that folks will miss races. Don't worry about the one(s) that got away.

I see a bold move on behalf of our green & yellow jersey wearer after stage 1 of Paris-Nice: avoiding the GC favorite budget busters, fielding a premium pack of sprinters and a couple of economy plus GC contenders. I have tried that strategy in the past. I don't recall it working out very fruitfully, no matter how brilliant I felt about it after triaging the parcours and counting the bunch sprints. We shall see!
This quirky TTT may be interesting. And let's pray for some crosswinds, because they are just so entertaining.
