Fantasy Cycling: TDF stage 1

It wasn't Gilbert's day... was it yours?...

That Peter Sagan can ride a bit, eh. First ever road stage of the Tour de France, first ever stage win. One from one. He snaffled up 48 points on Sunday's stage, with second-placed Cancellara also netting 45, and Eddie the Boss getting 39 for third.

So a 1-2-3 was a pretty good foundation for a team, and Joe's Rouleurs backed that up with Sylvain Chavanel and break-merchant Nicolas Edet for a grand total of 173 points, and the stage win. So it's user Jonny7C that gets the Altura Classic Long Sleeve Jersey worth £49.

Overall, team Oi, no Coppi-ing carried over their form from the first day and remain in first place. Team cavalry trouser tips are heading up the purist league for now. Early days, early days...

Today's stage prize is a Zefal Xtra Light Carbon Mini Pump worth £49. Good luck everyone!
