    Hello,

    Following on from the success for the Giro game I'll be running another one for the Tour starting in a couple of weeks.

    The rules are unchanged:

    1 – Pick three riders from the startlist who are French and ensure that your three riders cost a combined 50 credits 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 FDJ 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 entires is 9am (BST) Saturday 29 June 2013.

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

    Bounhanni is likely to feature in half a dozen stages and is a strong sprinter but I can’t see him beating Cav/Griepel. Voeckler/Rolland/Pinot could arguably feature on more stages but to a lesser extend. Rolland/Pinot in particular may top 20 on 10 stages. Voeckler could be all or nothing…

    But what of the Medium Mountains Massive…?

    On the billy goats, I’d hitch my wagon to Pinot – Rolland doesn’t seem to have the form, and Voeckler will ‘animate’ a couple a stages (possibly bagging a win) but is less likely to be as consistent a finisher.

    In case you’re unsure on how
    In case you’re unsure on how it works an example team may be

    Voeckler – 33.6
    Hivert – 11.0
    Charteau – 5.1
    Total – 49.7

    If you search for Fra in the ‘Find’ box of fantasy game it’ll throw out all the frenchmen (there are currently 39 to pick from).
