Looking good so far, but as its against my policy to pick a Sky rider i will probably go down the rankings from Tuesday. Hoping on Alaphilippe and Valverde today

I'm going the other way, started slowly and now I'm quickly working my way backwards. Bling was my man for today's stage and that idea is now in the can! Roll on the hills!

Also Lost Bling , Was happy after returning on Tuesday after being off line from the 29th that the team I selected was ok, Did not have time to think rethink change etc, as I was off line, so the fact that I am only one rider down is ok at this stage, was worried I was starting with 6 or seven only.

 

Hoping to score better next week when the climbing starts.

My team Moto is like Cav’s

“There’s always next year”

 

Also my moto this year  :whistling:  LOL...only 3 or 4 seconds could have changed my current Fantasy standing :ph34r:  well at least I am enjoying the Racing every day...thinking about Sunday and who will be "scott-free" after those Cobbles  :eek:  :eek:  :eek:  

 

That cobble stage could shake up the GC standings and possibly determine the outcome of a few 2018 riders...let's see what happens...good luck to ALL

Tell us - did you select GvA with a plan (or hope) that the current situation would happen?

I thought, hoped BMC would take the TTT and he is the fastest finisher for day 1 and 2 in their team to then get yellow. Took 5 sprinters for obvious reasons, will drop 3 of them plus GvA on the rest day, if nothing goes wrong on Sunday. Greg will not have the jersey on Tuesday night. If Thomas goes into yellow i will be in trouble. My dark horse is Valverde

Slow and stready!

I feel this run of luck is going to take a turn soon...

 

Still on the up, sitting pretty with a Top-20 now! Majka needs to come off the bench soon!

pretty much my planning too, I saw the TTT being a big factor in who would have yellow this week, and not the sprint stages.

 

Sky/BMC out and out favourites and QS/Mitchelton also in the mix.

 

Sky got no rouleours riding for glory, and don't really want to protect yellow this week

BMC got GVA, and don't mind yellow looking for sponsors

QS got loads of rouleurs, too many!

 

I looked at loading my team with QS riders, but then chose to put it all on GvA, so far so good.

I thought Sky would pip BMC in the TTT and that would put Thomas in yellow. But it literally came down to a few seconds. Fine margins in this game! Next week bodes well however, and the classic specialists will be a liability in week 2 and 3!
