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!

smiley_boy 2501,stevemarks and myself all have the same team.....I'm not falling into the giro trap of swapping to be different(went Oss in for Visconti which was a shocker!!).
sticking with
Pinot
Vichot
Gadret
Just in time
Rolland 28.6
Cousin 8.8
Vichot 11.7
Total 49.1
Is there anywhere we can look to see how this is faring on roadcc? I'm too lazy to work it all out....
Hardly anyone has scored anything yet. After stage 9 drheaton might work something out.
aha, thanks Mr Tullett!
Aye, will put something together on the rest day once some more people have scored.
I think so far I am leading, as the only person with Cyril Lemoine
A few have Rolland but there will already be a few more or less eliminated with Bouhanni out(plus Bouet and Bagot).
djb123 is reduced to just 'pink-shoes'.
Sicard got me about ten points a few days ago - am I winning?!
Yeah, I have only got the mighty John Gadret left now.
Anyone with Sammy Windmill must be doing well: a 6th, 10th and 11th place so far. Chavanel has a 2nd place in the TTT, while Rolland and Kadri have Polka points too.
I'd say that was close to leading?
Due to popular demand/nagging here's the current standings. I've thrown it together fairly quickly so please let me know if there are any mistakes.

Biding my time there on zero
incidentally i changed my team to
Pinot
Fedrigo
Bonnet
before the start. not that it makes much odds right now
Sorted, but still on 0
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!

Slight reshuffle at the top but Ghedebrav still out in front. The question is, will Rolland score Philip Unwin enough points to overhaul our leader?
Think I got it wrong, I thought the idea was to try and score as little as possible
A few people have been burned by Pinot, Bouhanni and Voeckler. Philip Unwin is the only one to have picked Rolland so is in the driving seat really because Ghedebrav's team of Chavanel, Kadri & Cousin shouldn't now score as highly.
My team of Pinot, Bardet and Bonnet has been so-so. If Pinot had been in any kind of form I might have stood a change but c'est la vie.
It was much harder to pick than the Giro, as the French don't have a Nibali, as even if he hadn't won the Giro he still would have been there or there abouts.
The Vuelta could be interesting, is Sammy the only Spanish GC contender not to race the tour
