Fantasy Tour de France (updated for 2014)

[perpetual dan]

In my fantasies I'm in charge of a richer team, but my lot seem like a nice bunch to shout at from the sofa 

[Thor]

Hastily assembled Team Thunder has joined the league.

[D.A.L.E.]

I'll either be first or last. 

[madcow]

I'm in. My enthusiasm may last longer than  England did in the World Cup.
There should be an opportunity to rejig the team members everytime there is a rest day.

[Nuncio]

And not as frequently as the Skoda TdF fantasy league where you get 50 transfers over the 3 weeks.

[SpaceBadger]

I'm in 

I like the simplicity of the Velogames version. Pick 9 riders. Sit back. Watch and wait. And get on with other things, like cycling 

If I had to contend with transfers and associated time-consuming faff, I doubt I'd bother.

[citoyen]

Totally agree, space badger. I'm in.

[simonp]

1st place but I have a feeling it won’t last.

[Nuncio]

You were right.

[madcow]

Cityoyen, I hope you didn't select your avatar in your team.

As my name was already in use ,I am carrottop, as befits a ginja ninja.
I expect my French riders to perform better on home ground.

[Nuncio]

My team is currently 1st and 2nd in GC, 1st and 3rd in points, 1st and 2nd in young riders, and has 2 stage wins (but nothing in the mountains).  But the thing I'm most pleased about is that after a lot of deliberation followed by the toss of a coin, I didn't select Mark Cavendish.  It sounds cruel, but 'That's fantasy cycling'.

[citoyen]

Cityoyen, I hope you didn't select your avatar in your team.

No, I didn't. Thought about it but he was too expensive. Gutted for him crashing out like that.

[Feline]

Oaky's team were named rather prophetically 

[Nuncio]

A mixed day for nuncteam despite His Nibs' win. Here's hoping that Romain Bardet can step up to fill the Contador gap, and Kittel can make it over the mountains.
