Trailman Posted July 10, 2017 Posted July 10, 2017 Well done to our Week 1 prize winner: trailman with his team Uncaptured Climbers Giro Synthe™http://fantasytour.bikehub.co.za/images/prizes/giro_helmet.jpgThe Synthe™ is the pinnacle of road helmet design, combining the performance gains of an aerodynamic profile and light weight with great cooling power to enhance rider comfort and efficiency in road rides and races. Awarded to a team containing the Green jersey holder (Marcel Kittel) following Stage 7.WoW thanks Admin just seen this and I have just broken into the 1st half of the Pelaton now lying within the top 500 I am so good at this game
Rudi Pollard Posted July 10, 2017 Posted July 10, 2017 Im down to 7 fit riders after the Majka withdrawal. I was sitting pretty in 30th place at the start of yesterdays stage. Now I'm hoping Matthews and GVA produces some magic in the next 2 weeks.
Rocket-Boy Posted July 10, 2017 Posted July 10, 2017 Wow so I go to pull out the 4 rider who are no longer in the tour from the team and it tells me "Oops, it looks like you didnt pre-select any substitutes"So basically its saying that the entire thing is screwed for me. Would have been nice if there was something at the initial stages when the team was saved that mentioned substitutes must be pre-selected. So yeah that definitely puts an end to my fantasy league.

In fairness there's a button that says "How It Works" The Basics The Fantasy Tour is all about picking your very own Tour de France dream team. You can choose any riders from any team to make up the ultimate virtual team. Pick your squad of 12 riders: 9 active riders and 3 substitutes.Team submissions close once the Tour begins: at 15h00 SAST on Saturday, 1 July 2017.Substitutes: On the two rest days during the race you'll have the opportunity to substitute riders. You can drop the non-performers or bring in some fresh legs.Once substituted, riders can be used again, however points are only allocated while a rider is active.... if they're on the bench you don't score points.
bertusras Posted July 10, 2017 Posted July 10, 2017 On the other hand, y'all with Meintjes on your squad are in for some massive points now that I have relegated him to the bench...
Rocket-Boy Posted July 10, 2017 Posted July 10, 2017 In fairness there's a button that says "How It Works"I wasnt too bothered with reading that considering I have done it since it first came out and I dont recall it working like that before.My league was wrecked after day2 already so Im past the point of caring.
EvanB Posted July 10, 2017 Posted July 10, 2017 All my subs in now, lost 3 riders and still 2 weeks to go
Oxter Posted July 10, 2017 Posted July 10, 2017 first rest day and i am forced to use all of my subs i wish i trusted my gut more

Furbz Posted July 10, 2017 Posted July 10, 2017 all subs used and shy one rider! only got 8 in my team! holding thumbs no other unfortunate events!
SwissVan Posted July 10, 2017 Posted July 10, 2017 Just ran through the top 10. 9 of them have 3 or more scratched riders, so no brainer subs there.the other guy has 2 scratched riders, so only got one fit guy to leave on the bench. Just thinking for next year, maybe more than 3 guys on the bench would allow for more interaction later.AND I still maintain no subs, fantasy is meant for girls.....

Suggestion from me... study the rules (once available) and how to earn points. The summary I saw a few weeks back is definitely not the same as last year. Not totally new, but missing a few area in which to score points. #toldyouso Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkTime to pull out my post from 23 June... #toldyouso

This year and last year are very similar, with the exception of a few minor scoring opportunities (break, breakwin, top 10 in the various jersey positions - now only jersey holder).
Harryn Posted July 10, 2017 Posted July 10, 2017 Just confirmed. .Majka won't start tomorrow [emoji17] Sent from my SM-N9005 using TapatalkDamn. I've Lost Cav, Sagan, Porte, GT and now Majke. I'm down to a 7 man outfit.
