Fantasy Tour de France 2012 Velogames YACF League

[Feline]

Well, to be fair, I didn't know about it either, but he isn't on my team. My research amounted to "have I heard of this guy? yes!" apart from Sagan who I read about for about 5 minutes.

You witnessed me doing my careful research ... on Wikipedia

I tend to pick people I like.  At least this year they all started and all of them have got me some points.

[Nuncio]

Well done Mr Bunbury, though Citoyen was running you close by the end.  My flops were Leipheimer (what was I thinking?) and Iglinsky.  Shame about Kittel but I'm sure most teams had abandonments.  Velits P redeemed himself a little in the TT.  I must read the scoring system next time - Jurgen VdB only 528 points?

I think it's only updated as far as the TT.  There should be mega points handed out for the overall results whenever it gets updated, maybe tomorrow.

I certainly hope so, as I've been beaten into 2nd and 3rd in the other leagues I'm playing, so I'm hoping the final results will reverse that!

[Oaky]

How many riders did people finish with?  I had fie left at the finish, I think:-

Wiggins #1
Taaramae #36
Froome #2
Cav #142
Casar #22

Most of the rest were lost by stage 7 -

Astarloza - stage 6
Freire - stage 7
Hesjedal - Stage 7

With Mollema lasting past halfway...

Mollema - Stage 11

I was rubbish

Oh yes, I'm second to the appropriately named team of Bradders and Cav.  Of course, I selected the team understanding the scoring system perfectly.

Unbefrickinglieveable!  I wear the yellow jersey for the entire tour and then get beaten into fourth place on the Champs Elysees!  I thought that the last day was meant to be a procession? 

Oh well, I won last year so I suppose I really needed to let someone else have a turn

Tejay and Van Den Broeck turned out to be my most inspired choices, but then "Bradders and Cav" and "No Limits" had both of them too, plus Froome...

Foolishly, I went for EBH as my second Sky pick instead, thinking Froome would have been used up by the end of the mountain stages.
