@grootlem Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 Fuglsang starting tomorrow but with cracked wrist
SilverRider Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 My span is besig om sy agterent te sien, en,dit vinniger as wat Kittel kan trap :-D
Shebeen Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 Still lolling around in the mid sixties - despite having the yellow jersey and today's stage winner on my team! Sigh you're beating about 300 other teams with that combination
Frosty Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 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!This. And Meintjies not scoring at all.What's with Greipel.... finishing out of the podium in sprints ist verboten hope he comes right soonExact 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 3 duds in my team that have scored absolutely zero this week, and only 20 points last week between them. De Gendt was my pick for the Most Combative award - a risky pick that rewards high points;Nairo... I shake my head - I went with him instead of Porte;Der Panzerwagen - 'nuff said ;Greipel, not doing much either (a few points here and there). Froome, Kittel and Yates carrying me to Paris, with some support from the Boxer and Kristoff. Not bad for 37th - would have been better to have Froome from the start and put De Gendt on the bench.
CatchMeIfYouCan Posted July 13, 2017 Posted July 13, 2017 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! I'm into the yellow jersey again, but you right - we head into the mountains now so I'll drop down again. I also see that Fuglsang, one of my riders, broke his wrist so he will be in doubt for the rest of the tour. If he bows out that will be my 5th rider to leave the race!
bertusras Posted July 13, 2017 Posted July 13, 2017 Der Panzerwagen - 'nuff said ; I based my whole 3-week strategy around Martin winning the opening TT and carrying the Maillot Jaune the first four days with Froome-dawg taking it over on Stage 5. That backfired spectacularly. And my polka-dot strategy was based on the blurb below: Thibaut Pinot (FDJ)As we’ve mentioned, very often the King of the Mountains contenders emerge based on how the race is unfolding, who has got into the right breaks, who has lost time overall and so on. But Thibaut Pinot has broken with tradition a little by openly targeting the jersey, as he races the Tour on the back of his fourth-place finish at the Giro d’Italia. Hopefully with half his team out the race he's going to blast up the mountains today and tomorrow.

If he bows out that will be my 5th rider to leave the race!You got a bit of daylight, especially back to third. But remember loads of points coming on the last day so nothing taken for granted
dexterdent Posted July 13, 2017 Posted July 13, 2017 The last day points are going to be huge, and GC gives double what green does so that's probably going to make a very big difference. And we are probably still at least 1 abandonment short. You have to be more lucky than good in this comp. I really hope all my GC guys can get into/stay in the top 10, and if Dan Martin can get a top 5 I'll be extremely happy (because he's really cool, and because that's solid points for me) (in that order)
Cadre Posted July 13, 2017 Posted July 13, 2017 Missing Person Bulletin: Lost: Cyclist missing since 1st July 2017. Goes by name of Pierre Rolland, age 30, 1.84m tall, 67 kg. Brown hair and is possibly hiding behind sunglasses. If found, please ask to return to Peloton immediately.

As a fellow South African, I have been hoping that Meintjes would ride top 10 GC and/or be leading the White Jersey. But alas, he has been underwhelming so far. A bit like your Rolland! Hoping Meintjes finds his climbing legs ASAP!
CASSIE1975 Posted July 13, 2017 Posted July 13, 2017 Fuglsang starting tomorrow but with cracked wrist I just HOPE for my team's sake he can make it to Paris...that is IF he has enough oemffff to score any points...fingers crossed!!!

If Rolland does not shape today .. he probably won't for the remainder of the Tour, either.I hope he shows face this afternoon and not play the Sentimental Card and claim "I'll be doing it for France tomorrow..on Bastille Day".Not good enough.I need the points now.Besides, you cannot be in my team and think you can only perform on Public Holidays.You are neither a policeman, nor a prostitute who need to perform on Public Holidays. NNoooooo!!!!!
fanievb Posted July 13, 2017 Posted July 13, 2017 sorry if I missed it, but is there any stat/graph tracking daily leader board positions?
shaper Posted July 13, 2017 Posted July 13, 2017 sorry if I missed it, but is there any stat/graph tracking daily leader board positions? If you have logged in there is a leaderboard tab at the top which gives a log of position and points
fanievb Posted July 13, 2017 Posted July 13, 2017 If you have logged in there is a leaderboard tab at the top which gives a log of position and points I'm actually after historical view/tracking for the duration of the competition not current position/leaderboard
shaper Posted July 13, 2017 Posted July 13, 2017 I'm actually after historical view/tracking for the duration of the competition not current position/leaderboard Ah ok, you did not state that originally and don't think there is. Having a graph of historical data of 1005 teams will be a bit of a mess. It would be easy enough to plot your own by recording your daily points and creating the graph.
