Shebeen Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 oh and i have an unofficial prize to award too. the highest place team that didn't have Peter Sagan in it! goes to Gravity Sucks - who came second in the end!now what were you thinking?!
River Rat Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 Huge Thank You Gerald! And thanks Admin, Nick, and all others involved. What a fantastic competition. Sjo, not sure what I'll do now without all the analysis and points checking. I'm gonna go through withdrawal Very happy to have won Again thanks Gerald for putting on such a great comp, and send a huge thanks to your family as well from all of us, for letting us benefit from so much of your time and effort over the last 3 weeks On a side note, for those of you wondering, Afrique De Jour is a play on the wording of the FDJ team name. I've always liked their name, Francais De Jour (or sometimes Francais Des Joux), which translate to French Day or French Games respectively. This was such a huge moment for African cycling, and this being Le Tour, I thought it would be very apt call my team "Africa's Day" in French. (And I think the name also rolls off the tongue nicely) Man what fun that was, thanks Admin and a special thanks to Gerald. The results were always up way sooner than I expected you were awesome. As for Hilton, have the results of the dope tests come in yet? Just kidding well played .
mbuluzi Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 Just a word of thanks from me for all the hard work putting this together. Absolutely fantastic to have been part of the competition. I have always watched the tour but this year WATCHING took on a whole new meaning. Will be back next year for sure
jimmycool Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 Great comp once again! Thanks Gerald and Admin. After languishing in the bottom half of the draw for the best part of the race the team picked themselves up well to finish in a mildly respectable 41st position. And Pinot did his bit to almost win me a helmet but lady luck didn't pitch for the party. Gerald, perhaps something on a simpler and smaller scale for the Vuelta?Yes, I too would be keen for round 2 for the Vuelta. I appreciate that it is a labour of love for Gerald but perhaps we could all pitch in with a little something and make it worth his while?
Frosty Posted July 27, 2015 Author Posted July 27, 2015 Yes, I too would be keen for round 2 for the Vuelta. I appreciate that it is a labour of love for Gerald but perhaps we could all pitch in with a little something and make it worth his while?In the current format for the Tour, I would decline (not enough time to get everything ready). Let's see what can be done, on a simpler format.
'Dale Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 In the current format for the Tour, I would decline (not enough time to get everything ready). Let's see what can be done, on a simpler format. As a long-term strategy. having a comp for each Grand Tour; would be awesome... not necessarily you Gerald, but the HubSA as an entity
Frosty Posted July 27, 2015 Author Posted July 27, 2015 As a long-term strategy. having a comp for each Grand Tour; would be awesome... not necessarily you Gerald, but the HubSA as an entityThat's already in the pipeline. This Tour was the start and will get bigger and better. Maybe not ready for the Vuelta but definitely for 2016.

meathead Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 Thanks Geraldm24 and admin for your effort much appreciated.
dracs Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 thanks Gerald - great job Interesting to see the points detail... I moved up quickly in the second half of the tour after a slow start - but it wasn't the guys I thought it was giving me points (2-jersey Froome, Quintana and Sagan), but rather Pinot, Bardet and Rolland.... I think the randomness that bonus points for breaks etc give is cool, but I would vote for a bit of a rebalance next year to give greater reward to the jersey leaders and ultimate winners... And the also the stage winners...
'Dale Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 That's already in the pipeline. This Tour was the start and will get bigger and better. Maybe not ready for the Vuelta but definitely for 2016. Awesomeness
Carmichael Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 Thanks Gerald, just one thing I maybe wrong.. but my points on my sheet and total points on summary is different?
Frosty Posted July 27, 2015 Author Posted July 27, 2015 Thanks Gerald, just one thing I maybe wrong.. but my points on my sheet and total points on summary is different?I'm aware of that - and I am trying to balance the scores. The leaderboard on Fantasy Tpur page is correct. The bonus points for the break and breakWin needs to be uploaded onto the points breakdown per rider. It works fine for anyone that didn't substitute riders but I need to add the breakdown for those that did substitute their riders. Problem is the file size... Google Sheets keeps freezing when I copy and paste values.
dexterdent Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 Just wanted to add my thanks - This must have taken many many hard hours to organise and administrate, but you made the TDF much more exciting for many of us!
