2017 Tour de France Fantasy League

[Shebeen]

My first time playing this in 4/5 years... a bit out of touch with Pro racing sadly, but it's always fun to have a little something extra going on when following a big sporting event.

 

 

 

Whoever's got Warren Barguil out of the top guys is in with a really good shout - the KOM jersey is such a hard call to get right.

 

 

extremely hard to pick. I had a look at the betting odds before the tour, Barguil wasn't even mentioned as one of the top15 guys for the polka dot.

 

Although it does seem funny that no one but de gendt seems to be going for it with not that many mountain top finishes it's a much more open competition this year, roglizc is there only because of breaks.

 

highest placed team with Barguil - http://fantasytour.bikehub.co.za/team/175

Admin!

 

Can we please open substitutions until the racing actually starts? Gilbert has abandoned and I couldn't swap earlier.

We'll consider stretching the sub window as you suggest in future editions, but for this year we'll stick with the rules as set out.

Bet you don't have Gilbert in your team

I don't, but I can't win the prize either way.

Aah, flip... I forgot to make changes to my team... [emoji85]

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lost my third rider when Démare pulled out, so I didn't have to sub anyone. I just thought that a (cabinet) reshuffle might ignite a spark in the 9 active riders I have at my disposal.

Admin, could you make the scale on the position axis logarithmic?

There are only three riders left for FDJ on #TDF2017 as Thibaut Pinot (FDJ) abandons.

 

There goes another one of my team.

Kittel abandoned - huge shake up in this comp...

[bertusras]

There goes the comp!! The guys with blingaling must be ecstatic! 

[dexterdent]

I'd say it's about +70 points for bling teams (2 stages + green points)
