Leaving Froome on the bench for the first week has cost me a spot on the podium... 244 points  :cursing:

Wasn't expecting him to be in yellow so soon  :wacko:  :blink:

i picked G and Froome and they've served me well.

 

Now I've climbed back up to position 59 - considering my team has included every yellow jersey rider in the race so far, plus a multi stage winner . . . . I should be doing better!

Just bought Louis off the bench.

I'm hoping to talk to him on Thursday - I'll have a word.

Tell him to pull finger, there is a lot of fantasy tour points he need to regain!

Exact same thoughts as me.... has been costly.... at least he is now starting to make some more points for me and as currently have, yellow, green and white jersey's in my team... am hoping it stays that way all the way to Paris!

I have a feeling today is my last day in yellow. If only Demare could cycle up a hill... 

no ways, you still got a damn good team!

plus splashsticks right behind you might take yellow, but he's only got 8 guys and lots of them don't do mountains at all!

to win this weeks prize, you need the polka dot in your team.

 

currently Bardet has got that, but he's surely going to be following the GC battle, so it's more likely a stage hunter/climber in the break will get there.

 

incorrect, Barguil has got it. but he's on 60 points, roglics on 30, it's open season for whoever wants it

 

 

stage 12 - 4,2,1,HC,1 2(double points) is the biggie

stage 13 - 1,1,1 - but this is going to be flatbox charging, as it's only 100km

stage 13 - got 3,3 climbs

stage 14, 1,3,1,4

We're leaving early tomorrow morning to intercept Stage 12 around the 100km mark and then again at around 160km. No chance of getting to the finish - you'd have to be there today already!

 

Then tomorrow night we sleep in Saint-Girons, check out the town and the start line etc and on Friday morning go to the start to see what we can see. Hoping to catch Louis there :-)

 

After the start we will either drive to the finish at Foix, or intercept half way. Can't do both though :-(

 

Will try and post pics as and when we can . . . .

 

 

edit: wrong thread really!

Still lolling around in the mid sixties - despite having the yellow jersey and today's stage winner on my team!

 

Sigh
