Tour de France game - Pick three Frenchmen
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!

My choice is:
Pineau
Pinot
Coppel
Pinot
Hivert
Gadret
Bouhanni
Hivert
Kadri
Charteau
Coppel
Pinot
My team to do better than my Giro 3 are;
Dumoulin 16
Gallopin 22.9
Pineau 10.9
S. Chavanel
D. Gaudin
C. Le Mevel
sounds like a menu
EDIT (picked 2 non starters)
Pinot
Fedrigo
Bonnet
-----
Pinot
Soupe
Cocquard
for me
Alan Tullett won, you managed a creditable third
who do i owe a prize to for the giro one?
I think that's me Dave. I've been away for a couple of weeks. I couldn't even play the CdD and TdSw.
Details are 83 Richmond Road, Cambridge, CB4 3PS
Don't mind what I win as long as it's not a mini-pump!
Think I'm going to give myself a few days to consider carefully...
(to put it another way, change my mind a thousand times and then pick the wrong guys
)
Anyway, my lot are:
Chavanel
Kadri
Cock'ard
Chavanel very nearly made my final choice: a reasonable choice for the medium mountains stages in his own right with the possibility of picking up team points for the sprint stages due to the Cav connection.
In fact...d'oh!
Cousin in for Coquard
That seems to be the key choice, a Bouhanni based sprint focused team or one for the mountains built around Voeckler, Rolland or Pinot.
Bounhanni is likely to feature in half a dozen stages and is a strong sprinter but I can't see him beating Cav/Griepel. Voeckler/Rolland/Pinot could arguably feature on more stages but to a lesser extend. Rolland/Pinot in particular may top 20 on 10 stages. Voeckler could be all or nothing...
But what of the Medium Mountains Massive...?
On the billy goats, I'd hitch my wagon to Pinot - Rolland doesn't seem to have the form, and Voeckler will 'animate' a couple a stages (possibly bagging a win) but is less likely to be as consistent a finisher.
Three separate entries sprang to mind, all revolving around Dumoulin, but unsure whether to focus on sprint, GC or KM points.
Eventually plumped for:
EDIT 24.06.13 at 11:30am (sorry, I had to tinker)
Chavanel (OPQS) 27.4 [instead of Bouhanni]
Dumoulin (ALM) 16.0
Bonnet (FDJ) 5.2 [in for Le Mevel]
Sammy Windmill - 16
Nicolas Edet - 13.8
Sebastian Turgot - 17.1
Jean-Christophe Peraud
Tony Gallopin
Christophe Le Mevel
merci beaucoup
Dumoulin
Peraud
Vichot (edit. Removed Pineau)
Voici Les Gagneurs
Fools rush in. So here I go:
Nacer Bouhanni
Maxime Bouet
John Gadret
More by default than true choice with lack of points left for anything really but the last two riders
Thomas Voeckler
Rémi Pauriol
Julien El Fares
Thibaut Pinot
Bryan Coquard
Romain Feillu
Ponder at leisure....pick at peril!!
Like it. Will ponder tonight.
In case you're unsure on how it works an example team may be
Voeckler - 33.6
Hivert - 11.0
Charteau - 5.1
Total - 49.7
If you search for Fra in the 'Find' box of fantasy game it'll throw out all the frenchmen (there are currently 39 to pick from).
