Anyone doing the Tour de France Fantasy League?

[R1gtr]

I am in, started off thinking it would be easy to get the team I wanted but it's tougher than it looks!
Team 'IprefertheGiro'

Although to be fair, I, hoping that this year’s Tour is slightly more exciting than the Giro was.

Yeah the Giro was poor this year.
I think I will regret not taking Alaphilippe but he is 1 credit too expensive for my team!

[Matt_N]

I’m in.

[campionissimo]

I'm in, but where do you give your team a name?

[idiotgap]

I think it just uses the "your nickname" field.

Welcome all!

I'm in too. Was total st at this game last year so the only way is up.

Or not. Currently bottom :-(

Well, that's a turn up, I'm pleased with that.

(It won't last.)

Minor tweak to my team to remove those under performing.....won’t make a jack of difference though

I've been exceptionally lucky so far, but have already used half of my allowed changes...

[Gruffy]

Me too, but starting with two riders who weren't even selected for the Tour accounts for some of my changes

[lauda]

I’m gunning for you gentlemen. And I haven’t used any of my substitutions yet...

Well, my premonition was correct....jack all difference....

I’m now leaning on it all coming good on the mountain stages...

I took a huge gamble that a GC rider would kick off early on the first mountain stage and swapped a few riders around, I’m down in transfers now and behind on the league table but I have a plan.....

A Blackadder-esque cunning plan?

As cunning as a fox who’s been appointed Professor of Cunning at Oxford University?

[louiebaby]

Phew, made it to the rest day!

Don't know how long I can keep this up, Gruffy is biting at my heels now...

Let's see how things shift once the parcours gets grippy and it's time to bin the sprinters.

I'm not sure I agree, I don't think it will get really interesting until the route gets to the high mountains.

I forgot you can transfer riders - just sold poor old De Marchi. Happy with 5th at the moment though.
