Yes I'm pondering that one too. Chavanel had a bit of a rest today, but surely he can't win 3 stages. Apart from a bit of stage 7 Voeckler has taken the whole race off so he'll be fresh, but will he be capable? Moreau? Did too much today. Double ditto Casar and Charteau, and Pineau has done an awful lot over the last few days… though maybe he dropped back on purpose today?
And of course there's always someone who hasn't read the script… Cav won it last year, and Piepoli in 2008, mind you Cedric Vasseur won it in 2007
There's quite a few Gauls who haven't really shown up so far, especially in the all-rounder section. Auge, perhaps? Or a French domestique.? I've taken a punt on Jeremy Roy and also brought in Charteau, to join Pineau. Surely one of them will want to duke it out for KM points, if not the stage win.
I have 3.5 Frenchmen lined up for tomorrow
Not exactly the day I'd hoped for. A very slow stage indeed: just what the peloton ordered. At least Roche decided to show himself towards the end. Otherwise I'd be stuck with Pineau and Charteau for points today (other than Schleck Jr).
not a bad day for me, mostly safe points and a nice mini break from roche. but i've got BIG plans for an enormous points haul tomorrow
Let me guess, you've signed up all three of today's escapees and bribed them to get off the front early on?
dem boys gone get captured, and it'll be a points bonanza on the line! (uncrosses fingers)
So how did it go Simon? Hope you didn't have renshaw! Does he have all his points wiped for earlier stages?
I didn't have Renshaw but, yes, his points got wiped (as per the rules).
Today I fell 14 place despite having my 3rd best day
Thing is though, I'd considered a couple of transfers this morning that, if I'd made them, would have got me 100+ points in total today - but I would still have fallen one place.
Some people must have got some pretty serious scores today
Yeah!!! 137 points in 1 stage, loving that. Thank you's go to Rodriguez, charteux, gesink, kreuziger, schleck and van den broek.
Because geraint has faded and tyler farrar abandoned I now have Nico Roche and David Millar...come on, give me another breakaway.
aaahhhhhhhh!!!!!! Had Riblon on my team for a few stages and did the transfer last night! Next stage (14) he goes solo! Just great............
Understandable you dropped him, he was having a dog of a tour up until today. I dropped moinard, not as bad but still points in the bin...
I just wanted to win the Road CC t-shirt as well!
does Jurgen Van Der Walle get his stage points today? (14)
Well spotted, bagelboy, bit of a spreadsheet input malfunction there which we're getting sorted out.
Anyone with Jurgen Roelandts in their team who is wondering where those 14 points he scored today came from... well, they'll be disappearing pretty soon
Really enjoying this, I must say.
A couple of suggestions for next year (go on, say you'll do it again:
1. In the teams tab, can you show the day's points for each team as well as the total points?
2. In the riders tab, can you work out a way to avoid me having to go all the way back to my team after looking at a particular rider's stats? If there was a link back to the rider list, that'd be much easier.
Don't take it as a moan, just suggesting a couple of tweaks to improve things.
Do it again next year? We're enjoying it so much we'll be doing it again for the Vuelta!
Noted on those suggestions too.
My sprinter has gone awol and I cant replace him either, whats going on? Cheers!
Only just found this Forum. Joined Billy-no-mates league and am in a reasonable position. Also joined Worcs Flyers and shot straight to the top! Yay! Thanks for the open invites fellas!
Can't wait for the Vuelta even more now, knowing that I can be a mediocre manager again so soon. What will we do come season end?
And DON'T suggest Fantasy Footie thank you very much.
Why can't you replace him Gandberg? If he's dropped out you get an extra transfer to replace him
I must confess I am really enjoying the Tour all the more due to this and I enjoy the Tour a lot anyway!
Plus my son has got hooked all the more so now (like having a signed Contador poster on his wall wasn't enough!) He keeps asking me to check my points
Tour of Britain?
oooo Tour of Britain! Now why didn't I think of that? Do it, do it, do IT!
that means we'd have to start the ToB one before the Vuelta one had finished, right?
If you're taking requests/suggestions is there any chance you can make the rider list available throughout the tour in the same format as when you pick your team (ie ordered by cost split into category as well as ordered by point score)? Would just make it s little easier to pick riders
Woow! 76 best score of the Tour.
That's not a problem, is it?
Go on do it. You know it makes sense.
OMG! 121 points on one stage.
About time too! Finally getting to grips with these team balance thingy.
Can't understand why Schleck didn't gain me any kom points today after the Tourmalet- otherwise a very good day for me with 130 points.
