Tour De France - Étape 1
So We're nearly there! Last bit of tinkering to be done!!
Thought I'd open the post early!
Are we confident?
Think my team is finally nailed down. Done my most amount of planning for a race so far, and planned up to stage 2 transfers! Beat that!
Good luck all!

I'm well pleased with 108th.....especially as I stacked my team for stage 2
Cav plus either Kittel or Kristoff out tomorrow.....probably Kristoff as it's more credits and Kittel is higher placed in all competitions.
Nicely done.
At least we get points for the IM sprint
Think Dumoulin was in top 10 for me and Hivert top 15 but I could be wrong
Its a bit of de ja vu after Siutsou last year. Lets hope he is ok.
What is the Combativity Prize?
That's pretty ugly...
An award, awarded by the commissioners, as to who they deem to have been the most combative, aggressive, courageous rider on a stage = 10 fantasy points to that rider
What a fecking mess. I think they will have to neutralise the stage and everyone gets the same time
Kittel wins
All riders in the crash will get the same time as finish line, due to the cock up even though it was outside 3km (however was inside 3km of the finish at 3km)
To be honest that crash is all due to that bus, and the organizers changing the finish, now theyv'e changed it back i think.
What a mess
Come on Kittel just stay away from Goss and it's yours for the taking
Not sure who's there now. Greipel out!
Greipel out too
Cav and Sagan down.
Massive pile up, Cav and Sagan down
Finish at 3k is a dangerous bend. There's going to be a massive crash! No, the bus is moving!
That is gonna be dangerous too!
This isnt gonna go well! 3km mark for photo finish.......:-(
Peter Sagan to celebrate by parking his bike on the stuck bus roof?
They're saying the finish is now at 3k to go. This is really going to shake things up.
This is gonna be a mess!!!!!!
Nooo Jonny
Sprint finish at 3km to go, but how will the riders know
Hoogerland crashes.
Bus stuck under the finish line!! WTF.
Im relying on my Dumoulin and Hivert combo to have a shot at the stage win
Looking like there are a lot of very similar teams. Some people could be sharing bike pumps.
Cavendish
Greipel
Kittel
Bouhanni
Kristoff
Le Mevel
Fischer
Bono
El Fares
But neither are the sprinters teams interested in catching them....
Looks as if they're going to get caught before the intermediate sprint.....they're not exactly busting a gut to stay away.
Lobato will be the first wearer of the Polka Dots as he crossed the one and only cat 4 of the stage first.....that's 3 fantasy pts(plus 5 for competition lead at end of stage assuming he finishes today).
Cavendish
Greipel
Bouhanni
Kittel
Dumoulin
Bonnet
Marino
Palacios
Mederel
Will most likely bring in Sagan+1 for Cav and Kittel tomorrow. Will probably regret not picking Greipel...
Cav
Kittel
Bouhanni
Gallopin
Dumoulin
Garcia
Hoogerland
Muravyev
El Fares
Its ON!
First break ot the 100th Tour:
Cousin,Lobato,Flecha,Boom and Lemoine have 2'15" after 7km
I want a good score today with my team, but have 1 eye on tomorrow and a plan to bring in Sagan and Nava tomorrow, just means I will need to keep Kittel.
Cav
Greipel
Bouhanni
Kittel
Dumoulin
Hivert
Fischer
Bono
Mederel
