Any one interested in some fantasy action!

I'm in-
-but I'm the only one

I missed out on le Tour. I'm in this time.

Oh shit. Much bigger gamble. Lots of Spaniards who I don't know. Then again ... Berto or Vroome or Cobo?

OK...I finally figured it out. We are up to 3.

Team Clenbuterol Bulked not Bagged is in the House.

Agreed that picking a team was tough. I think there's more marquee riders at the Pro Cycling Challenge than the Vuelta.

Ended up going with both Contadope and Froome for the GC Not so sure about Froome given his effort in TdF and Olympics - banking on his desire to show he can be a team leader in Grand Tours. May end up switching to Gesink or Cobo before Saturday.

Edit - Tom, thanks for setting this up.

i'm in too but need to get my team together still



what about froome not having a superdomestique to stay with him until the GC moves happen? does that affect his chances at all?

^^^He may not have the team train Sky had for TdF, but Uran and Flecha are no slouches in the mountains.

I'm in.


Team: First World Problems

Team "Coghead" in the house.

Fuck if I know. Total crap shoot. Surprising how many scrubs are in this GT.

I am actually having a tough time with the sprinters category.

As of day1, I'm having trouble in the getting any points category

Anybody know if finish times for vuelta sprint stages get neutralized at some distance from the finish, like they do at TdF? Did a search but couldn't find anything.

I'm just here to say that Toonces is gonna be tough to beat. He has chosen his lineup ... wisely. Unless of course Berto shows up. Then all bets are off.

That's a UCI rule, so it should be true for all the Pro-tour multiday races.

Today's final climb was pretty exciting. Finally seen several attacks from riders other than team Sky. That is more of what I was looking for in the Tour.

What's up with Velogames. They still haven't tallied points from yesterday...

This is driving me fucking crazy.

So it finally updated, not sure if it took in to account todays stage though.

^^^Doesn't look like it did - stage 4 results still showing zero

Edit - Stage 4 results now in. Team Clenbuterol continues to get its butt kicked.

Carry on

Shit I missed it.

Apparently Froomey dropped Bertie today? lol. Get him some of that spanish beef stat.

Bump

Team Clenbuterol Sucks

Carry On

The ITT today brought things back to ground zero for the top 4. The mountain stages this weekend may very well decide the GC. And Talansky? He and TVG are looking promising for future grand tours. Talansky could end up squeezing into the top 5.

Bump and ah what the hell happened today. One of the more exciting tours this year. Not much liveliness from this end though.

wow, what a fighter
