FFS!

Replace Pinot with Bardet who then abandons...
Replace Bardet with Higuita who then gets taken out by Jungels...
Replace Higuita with Yates using last transfer..... so keep watching for a piano to land on Yates’ head or some other such ridiculousness....

I know the feeling .... I doubled down on sprinters the first day Bora blew the peloton apart.

Been struggling ever since and just made last transfer, but lost too many points now to mount a challenge for the podium.

I joined PHUK league today, sorry guys I’ve really shaken things up by smashing straight into last place

Seconded.

Please maintain a cushion like consistency, so as my descent continues I have a softer landing

Bernal out and taken a punt on Yates. Not sure if Bernal will bounce back having had bad days and try and take a stage, but I just don’t think he has the form to do it.

3 credits left for sprinter swaps in Paris.

Trying to decide who might be good for points after the main two is a bit of pot luck.

Well the Pog/Rog duo are mopping up the points but anyone within 750 or so on the final stage could be in with a shout if some careful transfers are enacted....

For the rest of us, it’s Le Mans this weekend....

Stage 19 - Friday


Stage 20 - Saturday. Spare a thought for Tony Martin, he and a few others have waited patiently for a TT, they wake up think “ja, is TT day!” only to be faced with a 6km climb to the Plank of Pretty Girls


Stage 21 - Sunday

Hmmm I sussed the failing.

I'm in 4 leagues - one of which has a different team. I hadn't realised that. So while I had been merrily planning and switching the one team, my team of sprinters and leadout men was merrily heading into the mountains

Not seen result / highlights show yet... but very poor points haul today. But everyone seems in similar position today.

It’s close up top and anyone’s game over the last two stages.

Well done Team Pie..

I got rid of the GC riders for final stage. Can’t see how they got so many points on last stage looking at the scoring rules. Should have kept them!

Bit of fun trying to guess rider form over the tour.

Sad the Tour is all over. Bonus I guess is Giro and Vuelta coming in quick succession.

On the final stage points are also given for final standings in each of the jersey comps. It's a decent haul of points too.

Damn, I’ll read the rules a bit better next time. Thought I’d been good holding back some credits for a final sprinter fest.

Well that was fun... all sorts of changes in the final few days as people rushed to replace “abandonments” and the idiot in me kept Alaphilippe, and replaced Higuita with Yates, rather than carry the empty space and simply replace Alaphilippe with Pogacar... Congrats to the top three

[lauda]

Thanks for organising pablo. I didn’t trouble the podium but I made the first screenshot so I’ll take that as a minor victory.

See you all next year!

For info the winning team overall had 16704 points

Tempting but I can't see him on the list!

[LM240]

Still deciding on initial line up. (DS-JSY on the game)

CAV will make the line up I think, just because I want him to come back and smash it. Waiting for him to be added instead of Bennett on the list.

Trying to mix sprinters and punchers for the first few stages before introducing the GC. Just not sure who to take a punt on just yet.
