    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!

    At least I didn’t get last
    At least I didn’t get last like the Giro, Its not saying much for those of us who run the game, Me WAY behind in the 3 Italians and Dave scoring 0 in the Frenchman

    At least Dr and Ter are making up for it in the game 👿

    A little consolation as have managed only 350th in the overall (and also a net loss of £15 in my TDF gambling). I’d like to pretend this was a triumph of judgement over luck, but that would be a lie. Hard luck to Philip Unwin, it was a close run thing in the end.

    I love Sylvain Chavanel.


    Well done!
    If only Vichot had rolled in last instead of second last after his tumble on Thursday.

    Interesting game.
    Interesting game. Thanks.

    I’ve won nothing on any of the comp’s I entered and also lost £9 gambling overall with my small bets.

    I did win a pair of Oakleys though in a Twitter draw 🙂 That made my Tour.

    Well done to Ghedebrav, it was very close towards the end (at the top at least). I’m still amazed that only one person picked Rolland and that so many of us picked Pinot.

    That’s a wrap for the Tour, I’ll roll out the game again when the Vuelta rolls around.

    Yeah, the winners in the equivalent Giro game had points in the high six hundreds, and not just because of Nibali.

    I’m not sure but I think that still leaves me about 6 points adrift of Ghedebrav with not much available tomorrow.
