    I didn’t realise that the game was more geared towards the sprinters either. Anyways, lets see how my team fares…

    Quintana
    Froome
    Wellens
    Yates (the good one)
    Gerrans -.-
    Kelderman
    Teklehaimanot
    Brun
    Devolder

    Not what you would call a good start for Kelderman. But we’ll see, maybe he will go for the KOM jersey now. Hoping to see Tek in some breakaways in the mountains.

    Edit:
    My french team also got an awful start:

    Pinot
    Bardet
    Coquard
    Senechal
    Feillu

    Its the same, in that they score what the race scores, but in the TDF they just have one sprint per stage with 15 guys scoring, as opposed to 3-4 sprints with just three scorers. So normally there’s a small break and then the sprinters compete for 6-12 points, whereas in the other races the break snaffles all the sprint points. Makes sprinters a lot more valuable in the TDF than the other grand tours as far as fantasy cycling goes – took me a year to work that out as well!

    KOM tends to hot up in the second half of the race with big points for Cat 1 and HC. If a guy in the breakaway crests those climbs first and then goes on to win the stage, there are huge fantasy points – Voeckler got 100 in one stage a couple of years ago(!) and Rolland maybe 80-odd one day in the same tour. But over a few stages the GC guys will still be the top scorers…

    I’ve gone all climbly instead of sprinty, but did not realise the scoring was skewed towards intermediate sprints and KOM points (was it the same in the giro?). So my lack of sprinters and/or breakaway ‘specialists’ may cost me….

    NAIRO ALEXANDER QUINTANA (MOV)
    CHRISTOPHER FROOME (SKY)
    VINCENZO NIBALI (AST)
    MATHIAS FRANK (IAM)
    TEJAY VAN GARDEREN (BMC)
    ANDREW TALANSKY (TCG)
    ADAM YATES (OGE)
    JOS VAN EMDEN (TLJ)
    WILLIAM BONNET (FDJ)

    Looks like my gamble of Pinot instead of Quintana is a fail.
