    Hi there,

    Quite possibly being a bit dense here, but I wondered if it’s possible to create a league purely for the period of the TDF?
    I’m a league novice, but last year a bunch of us enjoyed the Skoda Cycling league which was just for the TDF and relatively simple to get to grips with. That doesnt seem to be running this year, or at least I haven’t seen any alerts about it?

    I can’t commit to the whole season so just want to define the dates of the TDF as a private mini league.

    Any help greatly appreciated.

    Thanks

    Lars Boom out under MPCC
    Lars Boom out under MPCC rules, yep Astana again

    In French but a Cortisol test

    To be clear, as reported by L’Equipe, Vino says Astana either replace Lars Boom with another rider or they start with Boom & leave MPCC.

    One last question before my no-changes-after-booze moratorium kicks in. If Valverde gets busted after the TdF then do we still get to keep the points?

    Dux89 – a lot of the TT guys
    Dux89 – a lot of the TT guys go really well on the MM stages so if you sit down and go through the previous results for the likes of Roubaix and Fleche its surprising who is there. Plus the TT is only 13k so its not going to play into the hands of the big TT riders.

    If you try and ignore the sprint on the second stage (the GC probably wont change unless there’s a break away) you may only need a couple of transfers. Just a thought.

    I seem to have the first few stages mapped out, without making too many transfers and minimising the damage, for example kinda ignoring stage 3

    We all seem to have managed
    We all seem to have managed over the last lot of years with only two a day. The early years of fantasy was even more challenging. 1GC, 2Sprinter, 2Climber and 4Doms. The only part that remains is having only 2 riders from the one tour team.

    The first week will require at least five transfers per day, and there’s a good chance of getting every stage completely wrong.
