Tour de France Fantasy Tour 2016

[Frosty]

I can't wait. Thanks again Gerald for organising!

 

Just one question - at the end of the Tour, do you only get points for the Overall categories for the 9 riders you end the Tour with, or all 12 riders in your squad? For example, if I have Froome in my team and he wins the race, but I substituted him out on the last rest day, do I get the 20 points for him winning the yellow jersey category?

You only score points for the 9 riders selected, so if you sub Froome out, he won't score the bonus points at the end, even if he wins the Tour.

This opening week has completely messed me up.. can the damn organisers not see we have fantasy teams to select. FF on a broomstick

I am about to change my one and only patriotic choice.

 

I am however keep my emotional choice.

Rides for Tinkoff maybe?

Is there no team competition this year.. or am I blind?

Look said the blind man to the deaf man sitting in the corner of the round room... [emoji12]

 

No team competition this year. Almost identical to the Giro competition, except there are points for riders in the break.

50 entries for the FantasyGiro vs 135 (to date) for the FantasyTour.

 

Prizes make a difference, it seems.

Riders in the break are going to make a huge difference in the points, how do you even start to predict that!

 

Eh, just.dont.finish.last.

Not necessarily. Giro and Vuelta are for hard core fans, TDF is for everyone. Even the grannies love PnP but I believe they are going to be disappointed this year as they have been canned.

Thanks!

 

Better now than having "x" number of grumpy hubbers after the first stage.

I ran a parallel version for the Giro, with and without break points. It made very little difference overall, but did help to break a few ties.

I don't know if it is because I am trying to select my team via my tablet but it is giving me 12 riders and 4 substitutes and it won't let me delete any of them.
