This was also something I thought of last week...some days you might be in the gutter scoring 15 points, but another day you could be top 10 teams scoring 200-250 points good idea!
I am hovering between 200 and 300'th place will be VERY surprised if I end up close to 100 or even less...especailly with Landa and Quintana in my team BUT...it's still fun and love the cycling so far...still have from stage 11 to 21 to enjoy Edit: sorry stage 12 to 21
Looks like a small improvement for me today...hope to change upwards and not in a downwards spiral like the last 10 stages well at least upwards for one day I hope...
Also my moto this year LOL...only 3 or 4 seconds could have changed my current Fantasy standing well at least I am enjoying the Racing every day...thinking about Sunday and who will be "scott-free" after those Cobbles That cobble stage could shake up the GC standings and possibly determine the outcome of a few 2018 riders...let's see what happens...good luck to ALL
That is the same issue we ALL have LOTS OF LUCK ALSO INVOLVED IN THIS GAME!!! How can you perfectly predict the outcome of a 3 week long cycle race with 3500 off kilometers from start to finish...the same chance we have of winning the Lotto well ONE lucky Bliks#m will be the "closest" to predicting the final result...
Jip that WAS quite cool...picking one out of 176 riders is not an easy feat it was fun and also pulling HAIR out of your skull when your pick ended 2nd or 3rd on a specific stage...LOL...maybe we should not request it again it's already difficult enough...but I agree it was something ADDED on a daily basis
Understood Yes it will be a juggling act to get the correct mix of riders in your squad. BUT as we are WELL AWARE there is also a HUGE amount of LUCK involved Good luck to all and enjoy TDF 2018.
Just to clarify - Does this mean that the TTT winners in that team will ALL be given 25 points EACH for 1st place, ALL riders in 2nd place get 20 points, etc, etc on day 3? So the first 10 teams rides would end up getting some points?
My normal trend for this &*%$#@# game is...start off day 1 around 887th place. Lose a BIG points maker in the first 3-5 days... Score some points...up to 395th place...a sprinter or 2 picked are doing well First weekend and rest day...change a few subs... Slide down to 515th place...because the guys on my bench are now performing well in the second week Get back up to 257th place...some riders picked are getting a few high positions over the line Second weekend and rest day 2...change subs with the guys that are out of TDF in my picks Back down to 423rd place...guys subbed are mostly sprinters and not performing in the mountains Getting closer to the middle of week 3 and one or 2 GC picks are doing well in the mountains and I am sprinting for the 197th place... Come Paris I end up 549th place and I am pulling out my hair... Morning of 30 JULY 2018 - scream and swear at THE BIKE HUB --- how we are going to wait another 49 weeks FOR THE NEXT EDITION OF THIS f&*#$-UP GAME
Yes, looks very similar to last year...not only GC riders to pick, but a mix of guys and then who will end up top 10 in all the categories come Paris...
