Thanks, i'm in, and just moved the work one. Lets see how badly I do this year, last year was a disaster!

Just added in. Found it a lot harder to spread the points around.

I'll get one sorted tomorrow.

I’m in

I'm in - Lost In France.

Had to change my team, first time I have done this kind of thing!

I'm in the new one.

Going to take a bit more management that the Velogames one as you can switch your road captain daily to earn double points for them, plus a rider change on rest days.

That didn't last long - game suspended.

Computer failed a drugs test :-)

[idiotgap]

Seems to be ok at the moment, maybe suspended during the allocation of points?
I appear to be a very poor team manager!

[wobert]

Hmmm....me too!

Assumed JagBox was referring to the Velogames site, the alternative https://fantasy.letour.fr site is still working.

Current top 6:

Just scraping in to the top six. I cocked up by forgetting to make Gaviria my road captain on the first day and missing out on the double points.

Bit late to the party, but now also in.

Thanks for organising!

Me too but I remembered just in time for stage 2, where he got caught behind the crash

Gaviria seemed like the most underpriced rider. It'll be interesting to watch the standings rebalance once the flat stages finish and the teams with a stronger GC-bias come to the fore.

I continue to be a pariah in the rankings of fantastical cycle management languishing outside the top 10... In my dreams it still all comes good and I congratulate myself at the end for my amazing foresight and tenacity during this 'difficult' flat phase in the tour.

[bigdom]

I'm quite surprised with my current placing, I'm normally last, hence the name - it will come as the race upfolds.

I'm predictably hopeless at this. A poor squad, didn't think about having Sagan (why ever not?!) and keep forgetting to change my road captain. Kittel for double points on a Roubaix stage ffs.

Martin is out now, so the rest day sub will be chosen from a generous 5pt budget

[idiotgap]

The first week of the tour is always totally different to the last two and it's hard to skew your squad on 1 change. Your luck may well come in!

[wobert]

My effort is equally crap.

Poor Richie Porte again injured and out. My original team on the previous site had Van Avermaet, budget prevented selection on the “official” site....grrr

Road captain changed and a new team member brought in....
