Fantasy TdF mini-League

[Roman]

Nice one - I'm now approved as team Avanti.

[NitroNick]

Folks, some of you have selected riders that are not starting the race. You should change them today before the teams are locked in.

[Jim Mitch]

Just applied. More fun in a group and all that...

early trump card from team uriel played nicely, fifth overall!.... have to wait to later in the week to see if some of us can catch up....

[dubbs]

Pistonheads currently 3rd in the league of leagues :-)

[Uriel]

Yeah, I saw that.

5th, I thought...not too bad I suppose considering there are a dozen or so in the league. Took a second to realise it was overall!

[CoolC]

I've just requested to join the mini-league. My team name is tequesta.

I only have 57 points so far, so hopefully won't knock you too far down the ranking.

[dubbs]

GO TEAM URIEL!!! So we all agreed to split the prizes...right???

Tequesta - you're in, just approved it - taking part is what counts and all that - great to see Pistonheads league "up there"

Just hoping I can get my team up the rankings now... have chose stage 7 as "my" stage and hoping Cav can pull it off as I reckon the "Le Mans" stage is the one he's aiming for as a stage win.

[CoolC]

Cool.

Stage 7 is aslo my "bonus stage" hoping Cav will do his thing.

[Roman]

Finally bit the bullet and transferred Petacchi for Thomas. I may regret it but he may as well have slipped on a pair of cords and thrown his leg over a Dawes Galaxy for all the drive he's shown so far.

There look to be some good stages for an ambitious young 'Puncheur' just 4secs off yellow and who can climb and drop his own sprinters in the last 500m.

Obviously Petacchi will now win stages 5 & 7..

[okgo]

Made a couple of changes too. Problem is all our teams are so similar that it comes down to your chosen stage and team a lot of the time.

But hoping when we get in the moutains that might change a bit.

well done Uriel, doing well chap!

[OneDs]

I'll certainly be dropping my teams sprinting focus as we enter the proper mountains rather than the narrow roads, rolling hills and curious up hill finishes of Bretange and will reintroduce a couple for the roll into Paris.

I seem to remember Basso being caught up in bad accident yesterday but he is still showing as 20'something in the GC, so I see what happens on the start line, any way a few more stages on the flat to go.

[okgo]

Agreed. I've made a couple of changes.

as much as I love cancellara, there's nothing in this tour for him.

[CoolC]

Woohoo, we are now back into the top 20 league of leagues

[okgo]

Remember to switch out wiggo and boonen!

I've gone drastic with mine and swapped out a load if mine so I can have schleck, Contador, and Evans. Surely some points there!

[anonymous-user]

well someone will be a bit smug right now eh?....

[okgo]

Who and why?
