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!

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]
Pinot
Vichot
Cocquard.
subject to withdrawl beforehand.
Pinot
Vichot
Bonnet
S.CHAVANEL
A.VICHOT
J.COPPEL
Dumoulin
Peraud
Vichot (edit. Removed Pineau)
Voici Les Gagneurs
No Coquard so im this now
Pinot
Hivert
Gadret
Pinot 30.4
Coppel 8.3
Sicard 8.5
EDIT removed Coquard for Coppel...
I've edited mine above now Coquard has been omitted. Now to change my purist, standard and RCUK teams for the same reason...
peraud 22
dumoulin 16
Kadri 12
I had that problem, its had a big knock on effect for both my teams
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
I'll have a go with:
Minard 11.3
Pinot 30.4
Coppel 8.3
please change Coquard for Coppel.
Likewise all my fantasy teams will change again......
vockler 33.6
coppel 8.3
gadret 7.9
total 49.8
dave
Ok, finally ready to enter my team
Thibaut Pinot - 30.4
Cyril Lemoine - 10.5
Amael Moinard - 8.7
Total - 49.6
Hopefully there won't be any last minute changes now. Coquard disappearing has messed up a few teams. Defending my undefeated record will be:
Gallopin 22.9
Jeannesson 14
Hivert 11
Ditto. Plus I'm playing one more competition than chrisdstripes.
Voeckler 33.6
Vichot 11.7
Mederel 3.0
48.3
Cousin in for Coquard
Gallopin
Bardet
Vichot
Oooops!
That would be 50.4 now guess have to try again
Pinot 30.4
Vichot 11.7
Gadret 7.9
Equals 50.0 harrah!
Pinot
Bardet
Bonnet
Really want Chavanel but part of me thinks he'll be a let-down. Instead, going for:
Gallopin
Peraud
Le Mevel
On y va!
Peraud
Geniez
Hivert
OK, gonna go with...
Pinot
Hivert
Coppel
I'll give it a go
Gallopin
Gadret
Vichot
Voeckler
Vichot
Le Mevel
After much deliberation...
Pinot 30.4
Hivert 11
Coppel 8.3
Voeckler 33.6
Gadret 7.9
Bonnet 5.2
T. Pinot- 30.4
A. Vichot- 11.7
H. Dupont- 7.3
Thanks for the game.
