Hello,
Following on from the success for the Giro game I'll be running another one for the Tour starting in a couple of weeks.
The rules are unchanged:
1 - Pick three riders from the startlist who are French and ensure that your three riders cost a combined 50 credits or less.
2 - Only riders finishing the race count towards your points total. If one of your riders abandons mid-race (even during the last stage) then their points won't count towards your total.
3 - There are no restrictions on picking more than one rider from a particular team, if you want to pick three riders from FDJ feel free.
4 - Highest combined total wins, if one or more players get the same combined score then the winner will be chosen by a coin toss/random number generator or similar impartial method
5 - Deadline for entires is 9am (BST) Saturday 29 June 2013.
Feel free to discuss riders/combinations etc but please try and make your submissions final where possible. The rosters will likely change significantly between now and the start of the race so don't jump the gun when submitting your team!

incidentally i changed my team to
Pinot
Fedrigo
Bonnet
before the start. not that it makes much odds right now
Can we stop now, 4th place will be the best i've ever done in a comp
Wow, was not expecting to be leading
I'll soon drop as the climbs stack up though.
looks like Pinot was a bad shout.

Gallopin was 7th on stage 7 which gives him a monumental total of 16. You probably just missed the 1.

Clearly, Bardet, Kadri and Rolland are the guys to have along with Chavanel who's scored well. Pinot on the other hand has been a total bust and Bouhanni dropped out early. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out over the next few days.
3 points yea!
Hardly anyone has scored anything yet. After stage 9 drheaton might work something out.
Sorted, but still on 0
A few have Rolland but there will already be a few more or less eliminated with Bouhanni out(plus Bouet and Bagot).
Yeah, I have only got the mighty John Gadret left now.
The lucky chap who gets the KOM will win. Now who to choose......
Pinot
Vichot (Anyone who can get the better of Chavanel deserves to be in here)
Gadret
Thankyou please
peraud 22
dumoulin 16
Kadri 12
I'd say that was close to leading?
I've edited mine above now Coquard has been omitted. Now to change my purist, standard and RCUK teams for the same reason...
I had that problem, its had a big knock on effect for both my teams
Ditto. Plus I'm playing one more competition than chrisdstripes.
