2016 TDF Fantasy League [spoiler alert]

[Garth Bimble]

Time to get it going again, rosters have been announced and the race starts a week from Saturday (7/2).

Does anybody care where we do this? I know in the past some have suggested we use NBC instead of Velogames, I've never used NBC but will be happy to switch it over if that's the consensus.

Regardless, $10 per entry?

i'm in
no opinion on game host

[Garth Bimble]

Since it appears nobody gives a shit, it's going to be Velogames. I'll set it up and provide all the log in info when I'm done.

[huckbucket]

I should have learned my lesson from the past two years for two reasons: 1. I get my ass kicked badly despite thinking I know what's up and 2. Now I get spammed from Oregon Adaptive Sports.

Regardless, I'm in.

[JayPowHound]

Huckbucket - there is an unsubscribe option at the bottom of OAS' emails. Might want to wait until end of July though - after you've made another donation to them

I guess if you're going to fight with a cyclist you should probably go after a climber. Those guys are like jockeys. Sprinters, on the other hand probably not such a good choice. Maybe not Bouhani so much but Greipel and Kittel look like NFL linebackers.

[Garth Bimble]

What the fuck? Only 4 entries so far? All you spandex warriors need to come out of the closet and get in on this.

[huckbucket]

You'd think that, but Greipel for example isn't that imposing when you see him in person. He's just super lean, which makes him look ripped is all.

Dee Hubbs is in.

[F#*k you cat]

Team EC rides again.

[ICEHOCEY77]

I'm game.

100 point limit is tough to fill a team with decent riders.

[TBS]

No kidding. Had Froome, Quintana and Sagan on my team last year. No way to get all of them this year

Speaking of Sagan http://www.wsj.com/articles/the-rock...ing-1467323948

God I hate black shoes.

You are right. I whittled it down to 104 and spent 30 minutes trying to figure out how on earth I was getting rid of 4 points.

Taint spankers are in for another beating

You are right. I whittled it down to 104 and spent 30 minutes trying to figure out how on earth I was getting rid of 4 points.

Seemed unusually difficult this year. I managed to get Sagan, Quintana and Kittel but the rest of my guys need to seriously over perform.

[robrox]

Back again...new team: CrampandGoSlow

Good luck to us all and to Le Tour...gonna be wicked hot.

Drank another Proseco and poof, the team fell into place in 4 and a half minutes.

[Garth Bimble]

Contador's gone down already...and if I was 12 I'd definitely want a Swervy Ball.

i'd given up on Cav's good days
fuck me...good for him!

& contador looked like shit after that tumble...that sucks for him! i like his fighting spirit but i suspect he's just trying to survive after that
