    Rugby...

    While I like "some" of the new rules of today, watching the game now on SS1 the rules from back then so simple, so basic and still flowing rugby.
  2. How easy is EASY? I was sitting in Z1 (power) and mostly Z2 (HR with cadence at about mid-70) on the "easy" bits. TrainingPeaks has returned a new Threashold Power value, which is 8 higher than my last FTP test, so I guess it must be right. I originally wanted to do some interval training tonight, but with load shedding my wi-fi only tablet couldn't verify my subscription to CVT. So I did your testing procedure on free ride (warm up for 15 instead of 20 to fit everything in to the 60 mins on trial mode). Let's say the test was far from easy - and wonder how much harder it will be if my "easy" on the easy bits was too easy.
  3. I went once earlier this year - saw the expressions on some people's faces... looks something like this: http://www.moonbattery.com/skeleton-in-chair.jpg
  4. Please note that I have a day job that pays this bills, and this competition is a hobby for me. If I can't answer your query immediately, it means that I'm: cycling;driving;with the family;with my cycle club;working.Don't panic, I will respond to your query at (hopefully) regular intervals during the day.
  5. Hard to say - some teams have finalised while others usually do so after the National Champs (this weekend). Some teams leave it to the last minute. Check at www.procyclingstats.com and look for the green tick next to the team's name. If you compose a team now, you can still edit it until 12:00 on 04 July. Thereafter it will be locked down until the rest day.
  6. I have entered my team and there were no problems. If it continues to give you problem selecting a specific team, please send a PM to Admin.
  7. Please familiarise yourself with: Game RULES and scoring formatHow to enter - https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/150521-the-hub-tdf-fantasy-comp-2015/?do=findComment&comment=2621085 The most up-to-date version of the rules, scoring, teams, riders and everything else will be available on page 1 (first 5 posts) for the duration of the competition.
  8. A big thanks to Admin for their efforts too... those prizes are awesome!
  9. Right - Admin has advised they are ready to rock 'n roll. Entries are now open Click on the link above that will take you to the entry portal where you can submit your team. Note: Many of the team start lists are not finalised, so we need to check back and confirm your line up before the start of the Tour.
  10. The substitutions are only there to keep you team scoring as many points as possible. Injury and non-performance by some riders is a possibility. However, the overall objective is to pick a team and hope they make it to Paris, just like the real team setup. If you're out of the running on the main competition, the substitutions can give you that opportunity to win a daily prize. This keeps as many people interested in the competition as possible.
  11. Yes, these can be any rider (stage 1, 10, 20 and 21) and team (stage 9). These picks are for daily prizes and won't affect your scoring in the main competition. The 100% bonus pick is for all 9 riders (excluding subs) that finish the Tour. It's not worth much, but did make a difference when I used the 2014 race as a test.
  12. We've used them for our new club kit (2014) and our "race" team kit (2015). edit: removed quote
  13. Fast with the keyboard, hey
  14. Yes - bigger and better than before... https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/150521-the-hub-tdf-fantasy-comp-2015/
  15. You'll have to figure it out before next week Saturday (4th of July), as you pick a team and can only make 3 substitutions on any of the two rest days. Get it wrong in the beginning and you're stuck for most of the first week. But then, who would have predicted that Froome, Berto and a few others would be retiring when they did in 2014.
  16. Team's start list confirmed so far: Team LottoNL-Jumbo MTN-Qhubeka BMC Racing Team Trek Factory Racing Bora-Argon 18 Lotto Soudal IAM Cycling FDJ Team Katusha Team Giant - Alpecin Etixx-Quick Step updated: 26-Jun
  17. Also have a set of Fulcrum 3's which I'm will be using for my new soon-to-be built, steel-framed, 11-speed build. Very happy with them.
  18. Heading is misleading... until you read the article.
  19. Looks like ProCyclingStats shows the confirmed teams with a green tick next to the team name.
  20. You know that feeling... when you want to reveal something special to someone but you know you can't?? Well, that's how I feel right now about this competition and... [to be revealed soon].
  21. MTN-Qhubeka announce their 9-rider lineup... http://bit.ly/1eFB1Or
  22. Wilco Kelderman and Robert Gesink have been named as co-leaders of the LottoNL-Jumbo line-up for the Tour de France, which gets underway in Utrecht on July 4. The Dutch team is the first to announce its roster for the Tour, and the composition of the nine-man roster reflects the mountainous nature of the parcours.
  23. One thing that bothers me, is Orica-GreenEDGE - they have announced a provisional squad of 8 and there is no Daryl on that line-up. I know it's early days but their team looks a little TTT and Stage win (from the break) friendly. Only Michael Matthews as a known sprinter.
  24. Pinot and Bardet were close last year, but what are the chances that the Tour will lose all of the big names (Heads of State as P&P refer to them)?
