The Top 3 in our Fantasy league after Stage 4 are as follows:

I fear this position will be short lived for "No Fr-Andy" as they are down to 7 riders after Dan & Marcel are out of the Tour. So i shall just enjoy it while i can.

 

 

Team supervan has still got a full contingent..... :whistling:

In the absence of of Kittel, I need Viviani, Appollonia and my GC riders to pull finger ASAP!

Michael Matthews is looking like an inspired selection (sadly I missed this one)!

 

I have him as my favourate to win todays stage and possibly tomorrows as well.

Chosen wisely you have, SuperVan

 

At the rate my riders are retiring i'll be lucky to finish with a complete TTT squad(5 Riders)

they should really allow you to change riders once or twice in the tour to accommodate riders that crash or get sick. If they simply withdraw then too bad. I'm also down 2 riders already

He rides for the Nicholas Roche Performance Team. Both Roche and Greg Henderson (Lotto Bellisol) have vouched for him and Marcel Kittel seems ready to forgive and forget.

Totally - how can that be more in your face than going through the crowds up the mountains. Its part of being a pro sportsmen imho

Wrapped up in cotton wool until Le Tour where he intends to get more stage wins

Indeed.

If Kittel was bothered, he would've given him a skop with the few remaining watts he had left

Jeez, Wez-O and Scott C have made inspired choices... I have not.

 

I've checked your team and I think it's a good one. Still lots of opportunity for your riders to make up time. The way they've done the points system, the fantasy league mirrors the real thing in that the sprint stages are hectic, lots of fun, but really just a side show for the big stages to come. The GC rider selections is where the league will be won or lost. As soon as we hit the mountains our Hub league is going to get properly shaken up :).

Interesting tactics being played out today with Viviani, Swift and Farrar all in the break.

Presumably these being the sprinters who feel they cannot handle the peloton attacking the speed hump at the finish?

After 25km - The 11 riders in the break are: Elia Viviani (Cannondale), Ben Swift (Team Sky), Tyler Farrar and Fabian Wegmann (Garmin-Sharp), Miguel Angel Rubiano (Colombia), Tony Hurel and Bjorn Thurau (Europcar), Marco Frapporti (Androni Giocattoli), Yonathan Monsalve (Neri Sottoli), Kenny Dehaes and Tosh Van der Sande (Lotto-Belisol).

 

Don't think they have any chance of surviving.

 

PS: My team sucks! :blush:
