How does one make substitutions?

Tomorrow you return to the Fantasy Tour website. Click on "edit team" and then drag the riders to be dropped to the dropped section and replace them with the subs.

A record of the riders in the break for today:

 

1. 15:12:21 CEST

   And here, courtesy of Letour, a list of the 23 leaders: Grivko (Astana), Riblon (AG2R), Sagan (Tinkoff Saxo), De Gendt (Lotto Soudal), Geschke (Giant Alplecin), Haller (Katusha), Irizar and Jungels (Trek), Oliveira and Plaza Molina (Lampre), Navarro (Cofidis), Erviti (Movistar), Hansen (Lotto Soudal), Golas and Trentin (Etixx), Voeckler (Europcar), Mate (Cofidis), Pantano (Cannondale Garmin), Fedrigo and Perichon (Bretagne Séché), Boasson Hagen, Pauwels and Teklehaimanot (MTN).

2. 15:08:20 CEST

   The two lead groups have now come together, giving us a huge group of 23, with a lead of more than 10 minutes. 

    

3. 13:28:50 CEST 166km remaining from 201km

   The situation after a chaotic opening 35 kilometres. 

    

   A lead group of 12, including Sagan, has five minutes on the peloton. 

    

   A chase group of 12 is a minute behind. 

    

   Jan Barta is 30 seconds behind the second group.

   One of the riders in the lead group has history with Gap. Frenchman Pierrick Fedrigo won a Tour stage there in 2006.

    

5. 13:23:13 CEST

   Jan Barta has also dropped back and the second group now contains 12 riders. 

    

6. 13:17:09 CEST

   That second group had about half a minute on the bunch, but Gallopin's presence can't have been welcome in the breaks this morning. The Frenchman is dropping back to the peloton. 

7. 13:15:09 CEST

   Behind the lead group there is a group of 16

    

   Michele Scarponi (Astana), Imanol Erviti (Movistar), Tony Gallopin (Lotto-Soudal), Adam Hansen (Lotto-Soudal), Michal Golas (Eitxx-QuickStep), Matteo Trentin (Etixx-QuickStep), Thomas Voeckler (Europcar), Laurent Didier (Trek), Markel irizar (Trek), Pippo Pozzato (Lampre-Merida), Luis Angel Mate (Cofidis), Jan Barta (Bora-Argon), Pierre-Luc Perichon (Bretagne-Seche Environnement), and Edvald Boasson-Hagen (MTN).

9. 13:07:00 CEST

   The escape group has split and there are now 12 riders out front. They are:

    

   Andriy Grivko (Astana), Christophe Riblon (AG2R), Peter Sagan (Tinkoff-Saxo) Thomas De Gendt (Lotto-Soudal), Simon Geschke, Marco Haller (Katusha), Bob Jungels (Trek), Nelson Oliveira (Lampre-Merida), Ruben Plaza Molina (Lampre-Merida), Daniel Navarro (Cofidis), Pierrick Fedrigo (Bretagne-Seche-Environnement), Serge Pauwels (MTN-Qhubeka)

    Tony Gallopin is one of the riders out front. He's ninth on GC at 8:24 minutes back, so the peloton may be reluctant to let this group off the leash. 

     

11. 12:55:12 CEST

    • http://cdn.media.cyclingnews.com/icons/2011/03/31/break_70.png

    A large group of 29 riders, including Sagan, has formed ahead of the peloton with a lead of 25 seconds. We'll bring you the identities of those riders shortly. 

     

12. 12:51:44 CEST

    We've got some early moves here and one attacker is Peter Sagan, looking to get himself in the break for a third day in a row.

It's more for me to refer back to when doing the scoring.

[Gen]

Hey I had 2 riders in the break who finished in front of the peloton and getting 2e and the most aggressive rider again..

[Nayr]

And MTNQ second in the team classifications....awesome!!!

20 minutes is a lot to make up with only 4 stages left - Sunday is the 5th but there won't be usually aren't massive gaps at the finish.

 

If Serge, EBH, Teklahaimanot and Jacques can make up 20 minutes (in a few breaks), they can easily win the team competition.

I wonder what Barguil was thinking about when twice in tight corners he cut the apex incorrectly.......he is very fortunate that the revelation of this Tour, Geraint Thomas was not seriously injured.
