    I’m finding conflicts in the announced startlists and the entries in the fantasy game
    Two that jumped out at me that are both listed at 12 credits
    - Dylan van Baerle who broke his clavicle at Dauphine
    - Rafal Majka who isn’t on the UAE start list

    same. I suspect there will be a bunch of notifications sent out shortly to have to select other team members. This happened earlier to me when they changed a rider's category.

    Visma just announced that Sepp Kuss is not healthy enough to start the tour.

    Sorry, Sepp, for speculating that you were gaming the Dauphiné ride

    ^^^Somebody should inform Tissot. They list 12 riders for each of those teams.

    (not trying to sound like a hater, I pretty much love everything to do with the Tour) The team roster posters are so generic. I loved how stylized the Giro ones were this year.

    To be fair the Team Roster Posters I've been posting are graphics produced by NBC Sports.
    The team listings are not on the offical TdF site yet.
    Are you looking for something like this:

    2024 Tour de France Fantasy League, and general TdF discussions.

    Do Pidcock & Van Aert have to assist their new “teammates” on Red Bull Bora Hansgrohe? Do they still get to wear special helmets?

    And more importantly, has the Fantasy list updated yet?

    Normally, I wouldn’t expect UAE to go try for a win on day 1 (just survive with high position to conserve & protect against early nervous peloton), but I’m thinking they want to seize the jersey and make life hard right out the gate — what are you guys thinking?

    This tour layout & competitor list looks like it could be pretty combustible — hoping for some parity and turbulence to keep the GC interesting

    Ineos do not allow Pidcock to wear his RedBull helmet in Road Races. He only wear it during MTB and Cyclocross events. Wout's Redbull contract/helmet use will not change with the Boras new sponsorship. The only other rider in the peloton who wears a Redbull helmet is Anton Palzer, who is on Bora, so that's a moot point.

    The Fantasy rosters are not set yet, all teams have at least 11-12 riders still listed.
    You can still pick now, and if your rider gets bounced out, you can change for free before their start of the race.

    Official Team presentation ceremony is on the 27th, so I'm assuming the Fantasy will be updated after that.

    Apparently Tim Merlier isn't starting the tour... FYI. Still available on the app though.

    I'm super stoked for this tour! May the temps be mild, roads dry, crashes few, legs strong. Godspeed the riders!

    This was what it was like in my house this morning, Mrs DeeHubbs at the kitchen table….


    EDIT: Looks like the rider list was just updated. only 176 riders (8/team x 22 team =176) are now listed.

    Savage... Lol!

    Riders who are not starting should have been marked "out" now and can be swapped out without spending credits.

    I'm good with whatever we did last year, $20-25 to the pot for the big winner? Would be fun to do some "primes" with small payouts for biggest single day score or for the most stage wins etc.

    Both Kat5 and DeeHubbs are in for $20 to the winner.
    In for another $5 for Primes if people want. Primes can be:
    1/2 of prime to the player with the highest single day points winner (excluding the last day totaling score).
    1/2 of the prime to the players with the most stages won. (daily victory speech better be good).

    Primes are great and all, but I only see 3 players in the TGR Maggots group…am I in the right one? (League 156?)
    I’m looking on my phone & it’s utterly unclear. The number 3 with the little heads icon. I can’t click in to see the group members yet

    ETA…Alright I see the list under Rankings (I’m that slow right now!)
