2017 Tour de France Fantasy League

[Trailman]

So now there are only 540 Hubbers in front of me   

[Jewbacca]

I'm playing this game a little bit like Berto is riding the tour... taking week 1 slowly, warming up and waiting for week 2 and 3 to turn it on... although like Berto, I am not entirely sure I have enough substance to actually make up any ground!

[Wheelsuck]

Lost Valverde day 1 and then like most of us -Sagan.

On Monday I am going to hoof either Chaves or Quintana. Contador is also on my hit list as he has just been assing about.Would like to bin about 5 of my team in fact.

 

If a rider crashes out like Valverde, is it still a sub?

[Breezer]

I have Cavendish on the bench. Now I must sub sagan with pinot (0 points so far). I gave Meintjies a chance this year, but he also did not score a single point yet. I suck at this game

Demare in green, 170 points

Kittel looks unbeatable 143 pts.

 

would need quite a gap to be in green tonight, and in the draw for the helmet

Hypothetical way of this taking place means Kittel needs 28 points more that Demare. Points on offer fr the intermediate and also the final sprint listed below:

 

20 points, 17, 15, 13, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1

 50 points, 30, 20, 18, 16, 14, 12, 10, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, and 2. 

 

If we assume the intermediate bunch is taken by Breakaway

 

and

 

Kittel takes the Peloton sprint(5th=11p) as well as the win at the end of the day(1st=50p),

 

then

 

Demare needs to get 33points or less:

ie 6th in intermediate(10p) and 3rd in final(20p)

 

Short answer, Green jersey is going to come down to the final sprint of the day.

Nope. Intermediate didnt suit Kittel. If Kittel wins Demare needs to finish 4th in finish for Kittel to take Green

[CASSIE1975]

Nope. Intermediate didnt suit Kittel. If Kittel wins Demare needs to finish 4th in finish for Kittel to take Green

 

I think something unusual needs to happen for Demare not to wear the Green jersey after today.

But I would like to at least be in the running for the prize   so come on Kittel...come on!!!

assumptions incorrect!! Demare gets six points, so now is 33 ahead of Kittel.

 

Kittel wins (50), then Demare needs to come at least 4th.

Kittel comes second, then Demare is in green!

[Vetplant]

So, after that intermediate sprint: The points difference for Green is 33 points. Demare needs to finish 5th or lower and Kittel needs to Win to give me a shot at that Lucky Draw....

 

(There is a 4 point discrepency between the points for Kittel on the Official Le Tour Website and the Live tracking page, not sure which one to trust but going for worst case here)

Kittel in GREEN           

[Vetplant]

Kittel in Green, but would have loved for EBH to take the stage

[@grootlem]

Good day

[Oxter]

Kittel in Green, but would have loved for EBH to take the stage

i was sure he did, would like to see that finish line photo

[CASSIE1975]

Just feeling a bit excited being in the running to lose another Prize in this awesome game LOL...

 

Would be nice though to win something in the future...even a TUBE or a few CO canisters would be nice

Hey, we're making our way up the ladder again!
