    DEADLINE PASSED! Good luck all.

    Rules fer reference, like:

    1 – Pick three riders from the startlist who are Spanish and ensure that your three riders cost a combined 50 Space Creds 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 Caja Rural 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 entries was 17:30 (BST) Saturday 24 August 2013.

    Spanish riders can easily be found by searching with ESP (not extra-sensory perception, but those actual letters in the ‘Find’ box).

    Feel free to discuss riders/combinations etc but please try and make your submissions final where possible. The rosters will likely change a bit between now and the start of the race so don’t jump the gun when submitting your team!

    JAndrewHill: Rodriguez, Txurruka, Arroyo

    That’s part of the reason I like the format of this game, right up until he last stage ends everything can change. If Moreno drops out on the final stage to rest up for the Worlds then his points are gone and the leader board totally changes.

    Its their home grand tour after all.

    The thing to remember is that this is a three week tour and the final week is stacked with crazy difficult mountain stages.

    I would be very very surprised if Sanchez/Nieve/Anton did not take at least one stage win and were not animating multiple stages next week.

    Now that Sanchez is out of the overall he may has well take it easy until we get to a stage he can win.

    Wishful thinking on my part, really. I backed him for KoM at 66/1 with 1 (one) pound.
