    This competition is pretty much ready to go and should be open tomorrow.

    Some things to note on scoring, there is only one category of climb in the race which means all climbs score the same points in this race and in the fantasy game which will be 5, 3, 2 & 1 for the first four over the summit.

    The race starts with a TTT on Wednesday afternoon followed by 5 stages before an ITT to finish.  So far the start time for the first stage is the only one that has been announced.  Hopefully the rest are confirmed before the race starts but if not we'll need to set early transfer deadlines to make sure that the window closes before the stage starts each day so bare that in mind and check the 'stages' page for the race each day to make sure you know when the deadlines will be for each stage.

    Also, I set up the league last year after writing the guides to new players so I figure I should stick it out and keep myself in there unless people think I should drop out.

    Not at all, I’m only taking the p1ss.

    I never worked out if I was a rookie or not. I started at Eneco last year.

    I think you’ve done a damn fine job introducing the new guys to the game but you can remove yourself from that league and let them see their numbers without having to see yours in there, too, easily can’t you? 😀 It’s like papa always being there at the school dance 😀 You can let them dance alone! 😀 On the other hand there’s no way to see how that league is doing unless you’re a part of it? Or is there? 😕

    That would be me, however I set the league up last year and this year so I’m in it by default.

    Like what he ‘e said ha ha. Anyway in my mind I’m discounting your involvement for the purposes of my own ego.

    Not going to plan. I am quite surprised how bad Astana was (this is ostensibly the same TTT team which won Vuelta and came 6th in Worlds) and Trek did bugger all, I’m surprised how well Saxo and Canondale did, now of course I am reading Saxo were one of the favourites. Oh well.

    Only one sprinter in tomorrow, but team was full of poor quality sprinters to begin with

    Yep, I’ve incurred 30 penalty points but gone for the big hitters tomorrow.

    Cav
    Greipel
    Kittel
    Demare
    Colbrelli

    Which left me 12.7 for the other 4 riders. :O
