Jewbacca Posted June 29, 2017 Posted June 29, 2017 It's a difficult pick.. with a TT prologue then a couple of combative stages in the 1st week I'm not sure the sprinters will have it all their own way. Week 2 starts off with sprinter stages then gets a few mounds and same with week 3.... Picking a team that covers the bases, allows subs and upsets and has poncheurs, sprinters and pure climbers/GC guys (yellow and white) is quite tricky with the stage layout this year... Sjoe! I ummed and aahhhed and dropped Stybar which has almost certainly guaranteed him an awesome tour now... Just really looking forward to the next 3 weeks!
Davey_Jones Posted June 29, 2017 Posted June 29, 2017 ADMIN Why is lance not on the list OMG coffee just shot out of my nose when i read that
Gen Posted June 29, 2017 Posted June 29, 2017 535 teams entered already... this is NOT going to be a walk in the park by whoever wins the grand prize. Do we have any info on the participation levels in previous years? This feels exponentially moreBloody hell.. I wish they would stop advertising this fantacy tour.[emoji35] Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

Jewbacca Posted June 29, 2017 Posted June 29, 2017 Are these active members or are people creating multiple accounts. Is there a minimum post limit to enter? (Almost as bad as trying to sell something here )I struggle to stay abreast of 1 team... having 3 or 4 would take up way too much time and effort! Yeah, the sprinters will have their say in week 1, 2 and 3..... a balanced team is pretty thin. I'm not sure if its better to stack 3 of the classifications and hope some of your picks flirt with the ones you left out. All in all it looks like a tour for an aggressive poncheur. A pity el Purito isn't 7 years younger or Julien Alaphilipe isn't riding this year. I rate that kid and the 1st 2 weeks of this race would have suited him. If Aru attacks mercilessly in the 1st 2 weeks we might have a super awesome race on our hands

Do we have any info on the participation levels in previous years? This feels exponentially moreit's been about 700 for the last two years. Before that, it varied between 80-100. I'll try find the numbers since 2009, a bit later. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Shebeen Posted June 29, 2017 Posted June 29, 2017 Question for the suits, sorry if it's been asked already. there's daily points and then overall finish points.Daily points very easy to follow.are the overall finish points only allocated to the 9 dudes in your team for the final week, or for all 12 okes in your squad? 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

He also owns the white jersey, but Yates wears it on stage 6 because our boytjie can't wear both. who gets the white jersey points for that stage?
