    Caleb Ewan not selected for the Tour. That’s devalued the sprint races a bit for certain.

    Deadline was wrong for today.

    Deadline was wrong for today. Stage started two hours earlier than was forecast…..because of the World Cup.

    That slow riding beardy bloke for watchfinder last year was really quite weird.

    Weird? It was an utter disgrace. Turning the bike upside down!!!!

    Sure thing Pitbull!

    Sure thing Pitbull!

    At the top of this page is a link in the ‘More’ drop menu to get to the Fantasy Cycling page. Once there, you’ll see three competitions to play and you sign up by clicking the ‘Play’ option. There should be some info that you’ll have access to before you sign up.  There is also a ‘How To Play’ option at the top for even more information.

    After you’ve signed up, you’ll be able to have a look through the competition at the stages and rules, scoring notes etc.  Use the ‘Pick team’ option on stage 1 to go to the transfers page. Purist competitions have no transfers once the competition starts, Standard have 42, just about 2 per stage with 2 extras.

    Any other questions, just post them here, or make a specific discussion thread and I or another mod can help you out 🙂

    He’s such a good rider Andy. He definitely has it in him to compete this time for sure.

    Roglic is the dark horse for the race, but he’s persistently told us that he’s there for stage hunting and to support Kruijskijk, who’s the team leader. He’s sais it’s too early for him to go for Tour GC, but he’s tempted next year.

    That might all be bullshit and he’ll be up for it this year, but who knows,

    Got asked today for a good long(ish) betting  shot for the TDF by somebody on a footy site.  

    He’d never heard of Bernal so that was one that pricked his ears and the other one I named for him was Roglic.

    so…what do folk think of his chances?…

    i’m thinking his constant rise and rise towards the top of the sport may just continue. ..Hard to call how he’ll do in the highest mountains because he may well exceed expectations…or maybe not. …

    Any thoughts?

    It’s a strange one this year

    It’s a strange one this year for sure Andy. Bernal, Thomas, Froome, Quintana, Landa, Soler, Valverde all going up hill from just two teams seems very crowded on top of the other GC folk.. This is going to be interesting.

    Valverde will help for sure,

    Valverde will help for sure, as for the other two, who knows.  A lot will depend on their TTT and then who’s strong enough to hold on/attack in the mountains.  My money’s on Quintana.

    That’s one very good GC team they have there….

     

    Too many chiefs not enough of the other. 

    Yes they will work together until they see a personal chance for taking time.  It will need two to become helpers early on to aid the leader.

    He has indeed Andy…just taken aback a bit by his price. If SKY have a really good TTT on stage three he could be picking up pts  every day from then onwards.
