Thanks Hubboss! Going to be fun again!

 

I hate this game cause, I suck at it. But mostly because I try to choose with my head and not my heart, then I end up cheering for people I don’t like cause they are on my team.

 

Goooo Valverde!!! - it just feels gross, I need to have a shower.

 

It looks very strange! 

 

The normal trap is for South Africans to chose the Maincheese then shout at him the whole tour to attack or move off last wheel...

looks like the points allocation has been skewed more towards stage positions.

 

which is awesome, keeps it much more open than just getting a handful of good gc okes coming off.

Yes, looks very similar to last year...not only GC riders to pick, but a mix of guys and then who will end up top 10 in all the categories come Paris...

My normal trend for this &*%$#@# game is...start off day 1 around 887th place.

Lose a BIG points maker in the first 3-5 days... :ph34r:  

Score some points...up to 395th place...a sprinter or 2 picked are doing well

 

First weekend and rest day...change a few subs... :nuke:

Slide down to 515th place...because the guys on my bench are now performing well in the second week   :cursing:

Get back up to 257th place...some riders picked are getting a few high positions over the line

 

Second weekend and rest day 2...change subs with the guys that are out of TDF in my picks

Back down to 423rd place...guys subbed are mostly sprinters and not performing in the mountains  :cursing:  :blink:

Getting closer to the middle of week 3 and one or 2 GC picks are doing well in the mountains and I am sprinting for the 197th place...

Come Paris I end up 549th place and I am pulling out my hair...

 

Morning of 30 JULY 2018 -  :cursing:  scream and swear at THE BIKE HUB --- how we are going to wait another 49 weeks FOR THE NEXT EDITION OF THIS f&*#$-UP GAME  :clap:

It's much the same as last year. The most combative rider gets a few more points and there is a team time trial.

 

The biggest change is probably the team size. This year there are 8 riders in a team but we've thrown in an extra substitute.

Easy, pick Louis, Pinot and Teejay

Double post but may as well add Yates - sub him into your team in the 3rd week for max effect!
