I've just noticed something really bizarre......not only is my std team 20th overall but if I'm reading the league correctly then my purist team is 20th out of those teams as well
Skidders Skeletons still holding top spot in the Forum's Scorum's Tour Du Suisse,TERatcliffe leading purists.....Wig_Billy still in the hunt for both and his standard team looks strongest for an ITT pre-transfers(Rui,Irish Dan,Wookie and Roman v just Roman and Kangert for the leaders)
robacairns had a good day scoring 121pts climbing to 2nd in the event and 3 spots to 7th in the Forum's Scorum's Overall.
stevemarks keeps it in the family following up daughter nata1ia's Dauphine win by taking the Forum's Scorum's Tour Du Suisse.....the winner in that household will have a good shot at taking LeTour methinks?He led all the way from Stage 4.TERatcliffe took the purist section and bizarrely the last time these 2 guys were in the winners circle was in the Giro Del Trentino where TER took the standard and 'skidder' took the purist.
Below are the standings with positional changes since 16/5/13(a month ago)
FORUM'S SCORUM'S OVERALL
1 Veelers Wheel Wig_Billy 14078
2(+1) Ratcliffe26 TERatcliffe26 13101
3(+1)Pharmacie Roulant Jonas Lorenzen 13036

5(+1)Mostly Hopeless drheaton 12824
6(+4)dum spiro lacesso simon F 12638
7(NE)Team Cairns robacairns 12553
8(-1)Queens Park Riders ray silvester 12552
9(-4)The Pigeons chrisdstripes 12526
10(NE)Les Miserables 2013 JAndrewHill 12513
The big losers in the period have been Alan Tullett and NeilG83 who have fallen out of the top 10.
next we have the current purist podium with their positions amongst all FS teams too
1st (30) Veelers Wheel (Purist) Wig_Billy 10004
2nd (38) Ratcliffe26 (Purist) TERatcliffe26 9020
3rd (39) The Pigeons (Purist) chrisdstripes 8918
Top 2 look familiar???
And last but not least the Squeakers(non-payers):
1st(53) EPO breaks nickobec 7350
2nd(57) nataliaa nata1ia 7057
3rd(58) Winona Riders chokofingrz 7044
enrique's excuses lie only 10th amongst squeakers!!
D-Day....C'est arrivee
..stupid Aussie bus...
And our first Maillot-Jaune is the in-form stevemarks.....a lot of people had Kittel but Kristoff was probably the key to a good start here.
Happy to be sitting second.
Our new leader in the Forum's Scorun's Tour De France.
not another of your relatives is she stevemarks? She uses the numbers for letters as Nata1ia does.......if so those girls are going to cost you a fortune in personalised number plates.
The first 2 stages has seen no change in the Forum's Scorum's Overall competition although robacairns and myself seem to be engaging in our own 'after you...no after you sir' n 7th and eighth.
Well spotted Ray! Middle daughter, although TBH she has lost interest (boys?) and I have had to waive my advisory fee, and take over the day to day for now. Maybe as she is top, and enjoying the TV coverage, I can get her to step back in.
The Marks family are the new Van Poppel's!!
Are you saying my daughters are like a ropey old curry?
No.....that would be you!!
I think I'm second in Forum purist behind North Star! Not sure how that's happened - its that Sagan/Kittel combination I think. Froome and Talansky today - go boys!
I'm like a ropey old curry! Charming!
Well I'm into the top ten at the tdf after two great stages ( thx mr gerrans) going for the top spot after issing out to Jonas at the Giro
Pretty bunched up at the top of the Forum's Scorum's Tour GC......rcorbin leads but theres 42 points seperating the top 10.
Banked transfers may well be the key here?
I've been feeling kinda Schleckish the first couple of stages, and I'm way too far behind now..
Less than 100 off top spot Jonas?
rcorbin remains in yellow after the bunch sprint in Marseille....technojim is best placed purist all the way down in 49th and I think that shows that the first 5 stages have not really gone to the formbook what with Sagan/Cav/Greipel crashes....either that or there are a lot of mountain based purist teams keeping their powder dry.
Has ANYONE had decent breakaway points yet(other than DeGendt,Clarke or Rolland)?
A fantastic 190pts on stage 6 saw the 'Ropey old Curry' stevemarks back in front...he also had the Forum's Scorum's Maillot Jaune after stage 1.
back on top after yesterday
rcorbin definitely had the team for a reduced bunch sprint(classics type finish) with Sagan,Kwiatkowski and Gerrans.....any combo of those and or EBH gave green arrows yesterday whereas those with the fast twitch guys(Cav,Greipel,Kittel etc)got red-arrowed by the Cannondale Express!!
However....those who used transfers to bring in any of those classics type guys may be struggling for a team today and taking penalties.
Today is the first stage where the scenario is clear as a bell.....highest point of the tour(HC climb) followed by a pretty steep finishing climb which means classic tour hairpins on ski-resort roads and chalk markings for riders names......expect to see a lot of them for Thibaut Pinot who I believe is a local and has had to be verbally banned from blowing his whole Tour with a solo attempt today?
Well Well....we now have joint leaders in the Forum's Scorum's Tour De France as the Guv'nor Dave Atkinson has joined rcorbin on 1262pts......Dave's listed as the leader but not sure what that's based on(I'm sure I read least number of transfers is the first deciding factor but it may just be that Dave r-e-a-a-a-l-l-l-y wants the Genesis?).
Wig_Billy leads the purists on 754(13pts ahead of the Froome-Free northstar).
The only dope test I'm interested in for game purposes is that of Wig_Billy who leads the Forum's Scorums overall standings by 821 in standard and 1099 in purist.....2nd place man is TERatcliffe in both cases.
rcorbin has a decent but far from unassailable 43pt lead in the Forum's Scorum's Tour De France in which his 54 pts for stage 14 was actually a half decent score on the day.
JAndrewHill leads the purist Tour as the only one with more than 1000pts so far but there are 5 rivals within 26pts of him
99pts is a b-i-g lead for yellow jersey rcorbin but unlike the real thing people like TERatcliffe and 'The Guv'nor'Dave Atkinson WILL attack on the last stage to Paris as well as today so he has a transition from alps to sprints to negotiate before he can secure the Forum's Scorum's Tour De France......drheaton leads the purists but there are a gaggle of teams just bubbling under(including my pre-race favourite Jonas Lorenzen).
Fingers crossed I can wrap up the purist comp tomorrow, got Froome and Quintana for today, Cavendish and Kittel for tomorrow so hopefully that'll give me an advantage over Alan and Jonas who both have Sagan.
Jonas is a single point behind you!!
I'm confident I can seal the deal, I have Cavendish and Kittel versus Jonas' Sagan. The only thing that might scupper things is if Hoogerland/El Fares get in the break and load up on intermediate sprint points.
I'm also hoping that I can sneak into the top 20 in the purist overall, lots of people have one of Sagan or Cav or Kittel but not many above me have two.
I think I managed to wrap it up but it could be very close
Sagan fourth and El Fares in the break plus points for Fischer at the finish could scupper my changes but I might sneak it by 5 or 10 points. Very close
Chapeau to rcorbin on his Forum's Scorum's Tour De France victory(he was actuall 2nd game-wide!!)....coming good at the perfect time for his first win in a FS competition this season.
A rather more familiar name(having won Paris-Nice and riding high in the overall standings),drheaton took the purist prize by a mere 11pts from Jonas Lorenzen.
Both have gone on the honours board.
Ooohh wish I'd seen that earlier - got one right at last
Is there any way to access the archived league listings?
I was going to put together a Forum Scorum 'table' based on the World Tour points scoring system (something like 100 down to 10 for top 10 in a week long race, 200 down to 10 for top 20 in a grand tour and something similar for classics) but can't see to get into the older archived races
