Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 @Gerald, I think what you have achieved is AMAZING!!!! Thanks so much for this, makes the tour a bit more bearable for a MTBer like myself.I'm very much bringing up the rear at this point but it was always for fun. I did make up about 30places yesterday though, 650 odd to go
pad man Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 If I new that in order to win the comp (I know it's early days but I doubt the top 2 will change)I would've also ONLY picked white jersey contenders like BusterBluth and Besso ;Scoring big points with riders that haven't even been mentioned yet this tour. Some hubbers have Yellow, Green, White and multiple stage winners in their squad but they're in the bottom half of the leaderboard. Next year the comp should be called - "pick the best young rider fantasy comp." My 2C
Gen Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 I am relying heavily in VanMarcke today. . I would say Sagan too, but he will be looking after Contador today..

pad man Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 Early days BruI'll bet you a pair of Giro shoes the top two won't change.But I was just expressing my opinion, I don't really care who wins to be honest.
Frosty Posted July 7, 2015 Author Posted July 7, 2015 STAGE 04 How will you be scoring points today? http://www.letour.fr/le-tour/img/page-reglements/enjeux_victoire_etape.png Stage finish1 point per rider if your chosen riders cross the finish line and are classified as a finisher.

The points on offer for the GC position will be the total number of riders to finish * 0.1.Everyone else gets points based on their time relative to the winning time. The formula to calculate the points is as follows: {(1-(((RiderTime/LeaderTime)-1)*10))*Riders*BETA}, where:· RiderTime Rider’s current overall race time· LeaderTime Current race leader’s overall race time· Riders number of riders completing the stage· BETAYellow 0.1 http://www.letour.fr/le-tour/img/page-reglements/enjeux_maillot_blanc.png Young Rider ClassificationThere were officially 31 young riders that finished yesterday, so depending on the number that finish today, the number of riders * 0.1 will be awarded to the leader in the white jersey.

Hilton. Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 ... Daily PrizeThe person that scores the most points today will be in line to win the daily prize. Shouldn't this read:"The person who leads the Fantasy competition after today will be in line to win the daily prize." ?
Frosty Posted July 7, 2015 Author Posted July 7, 2015 Shouldn't this read:"The person who leads the Fantasy competition after today will be in line to win the daily prize." ?Yes, thanks for the sharp eyes.Fixed

My 2C The rules and scoring system was advertised weeks before you had to choose your team, so no-one was unduly benefited. It was just a matter of reading through the scoring system and coming up with your team strategy. Your post is a bit of a head scratcher. It's kind of like hearing someone walking out of a History exam and saying, "if only I knew they were going to test us on the History syllabus, I would have done a lot better".
Frosty Posted July 7, 2015 Author Posted July 7, 2015 For those of you interested in the stats: 141 riders selected from 198 taking part - 71% of the riders participating were picked.

My 2C I hear what you are saying, I have some good picks that actually feature in gc, stage wins and climbers jersey, but I am way back on the leaderboard. I did not read the rules or scoring system, but I had no intention of making a strategic selection. - if you are in it to win it, study the rules and scoring system, make selection according to that. I based my selection on riders that I like, support and know.I'm having fun that way. Sad about Fabian, real sad, he is my favorite rider but he was my sub - I guess I had a feeling, so sad.
Frosty Posted July 7, 2015 Author Posted July 7, 2015 After 3 stages, who are the performing riders?a "Fantasy Dream Team"

If your picks are good, then there's nothing to worry about. We've only done stage 3, so this Tour is still in diapers. Remember, the real racing only starts in week 3 (ok, maybe halfway through week 2). We are a looooong way from there still
Frosty Posted July 7, 2015 Author Posted July 7, 2015 The teams aren't contributing much at this stage, but the top teams are: BMC - 18Ettix-Quick Step - 8Team Lotto NL-Jumbo - 8Trek Factory Racing - 4Team Sky - 4Tinkoff-Saxo - 2Movistar - 1
Frosty Posted July 7, 2015 Author Posted July 7, 2015 Monday will be interesting, watching the changes coming through. The obvious change will be to replace riders that have withdrawn, but for the rest it's a case of replacing the right person at the right time. This competition is far from over.
