Choisissez trois Français... 2014 édition
Yep, it's the Pick Three Frenchmen comp, for the Tour de Yorkshire (and France).
THE RULES: You need to pick three French riders for 50 credits or less and the team with the highest combined fantasy score at the end of the race wins. Only riders making it to the end of the race count; any of your riders quit mid race, they get no points.
The winner will receive the special prize of my very warmest wishes. 
Your teams:
Joelsim: Demare Pinot Voeckler
TERatcliffe: Bardet Demare Bideau
STEVESPRO: Bardet Pinot Jeannesson
stevemarks: Pinot Vichot Gallopin

por moi le trois musketeer est .. .. ..

allez le bleus
Bardet, Pinot, Voeckler, pour moi, svp
"For new people, if you enter "FRA" into the rider search from the picking your squad bit, it should just show all of the French riders in the race."
Enter GBR there, and you'll find out why playing "pick 3 British riders" would render us all winners...
We have actually managed to quietly slip a fourth man into the race, or are you not counting Froomedog as British? So much for team Sky promoting British cycling, more Spanish than Brits in the team. It's all rather sad really!
Late to the party again.
Péraud 13.3
Pinot 15.4
Chavanel 19.7
Rolland
Roy
Voeckler
Some quite similar teams being thrown up here, looks like we can expect this to be decided by fine margins.
Peraud, Pinot, S Dumoulin in an attempt to be unique.
Pinot 15.4
Demare 24.6
Feillu B 8.4
J. Simon 16.1
T. Pinot 15.4
A. Fonseca 14.6
Thanks Ghedebrav. I'm going to go with:
N Edet (19.4)
T Pinot (15.4)
J Peraud (13.3)
Here's hoping I do better than I usually do in these competitions
Riblon, Chavanel, Voekler (49.9 I think)
Demare
Dumoulin
Bideau
P. Rolland 24.4
J. Simon 16.1
J. Gadret 9.2
Vichot, Edet, Kadri
P. Rolland
T. Pinot
J. Gadret
Thanks!
AAARgh - didn't make deadline
If I am not too late can I swap Le Mevel for Vachon? On account of Le Mevel not being there
Y'all are in. As is Northstar via PM.
Will update tomorrow; need a long old sleep.
OK, post-Yorkshire top 3 (no point sharing the full classement at this stage)
1. Thorolf (77)
2. JAndrewHill (70)
3. badhamsj (59)
(prinzi is lanterne rouge, only team with zero so far)
Coquard the big point scorer; other useful early picks have been Kadri and Edet.
Ah oui oui oui. Allez le Coq. Allez Peraud.
I'm going to update this on the rest day. I'd imagine a few riders will want to make an impression on Bastille Day.
I don't need the spreadsheet to tell me that the outstanding rider thus far has been Coquard, with Demare the big disappointment. Will he last the course, though...?
Pinot, Bardet, and JCP are going to surprise a lot of people who had low expectations, methinks.
I expect both Pinot and Bardet to do well; Peraud is more of an enigma - stage win maybe?
With Pinot, Bardet and Voeckler, I surely won the Bastille day stage
Time to make up all those points Coquard has already bagged...
Rest day over - here are the standings:
JAndrewHill 324
Thorolf 312
Ghedebrav 265
cgipryan 254

No prizes for guessing that the top two have Coquard, who has scored 188 points on his own so far. Bardet, Kadri, Peraud, Pinot, Gallopin & Gerard have all looked good too in terms of points-per-credit. Less so Rolland, Riblon, Jeannesson, Roy & Vichot, while Molard, Simon & Vachon are yet to score a single point.
Plenty of time yet, though. Strikingly, not a single withdrawal so far.
Last!
Vichot abandons.
Vachon scored some points yesterday though. Molard in the break today, as are Kadri & Feillu (B).
Stage 14 is going to be Riblon's chance to finally do something big in this race. Hopefully he shows up.
When Edet attacked on the first stage I thought good things (i.e. points ;)) were to come from him...
still waiting...
Can't believe Chavanel didn't do anything in the tailor-made transition stages 11+12.
