I'm signed up!

Who's everyone else gone with?

I've gone for a collection of riders who should win stages:
Franck SCHLECK - might get a stage doing the old one two with his bro
Denis MENCHOV - I'd like to see him win it (but he won't)
Carlos SASTRE - will win a stage or two ater he blows the GC
David MONCOUTIE - I reckon he's good for a win on bastille day!
Mark CAVENDISH - Short of crashing in the prolouge, certain to win stages
Christophe MOREAU - alternative winner on bastille day
Fabian CANCELLARA - Certain TT victor
Jens VOIGT - usually in breakaways. this year two stages with no team radios, so who knows?
Sebastian LANG - only 2point rider I'd heard of!

My team's called zebG FWIW.

Team Bunbury: (Mainly seems to be a cross between Columbia and Saxobank)

Andy Schleck - this guy will go far
Frank Schleck - Schleck brothers FTW!
Carlos Sastre - ditto Gonzo's prediction
Chris Anker Sorensen - made up my points
Mark Cavendish - bound to win stages
Marcus Burghardt - will hopfully win another stage
Mark Renshaw - keeps MB company with another Columbia domestique
Bradley Wiggins - good TTer
Kim Kirchen - places high

Following the stunning success that was the YACF Giro Fantasy League*, I've created a Tour league for YACF - the code is 02090223.

Cyclechat's league, which you can also join, is 01174735.

I've sacked Cav in favour of Andy Schleck.  Which means I have to resort to Haussler for my sprinter.  Team Thunder will make a slow start but maybe a stronger finish.  :-\

Yes, well Boonen's return has thrown my wildcard of Alan Davis into question. Even if he rides it will be Boonen going for the wins.

I've swapped around and gone for Moncoutie in place of Kreuziger (to save points) and Oscar Freire as my wildcard. With Wiggins, Avesen and Terpstra as domestiques.

He did quite well in the Giro.  Gotta support the home grown talent.  I reckon he has always underperformed due to unhappy surroundings.  That seems to be a thing of the past.  Some of their new signings this year have been Aussies too.

Bugger.  Too late to register a team.  I know it's today but they haven't kicked off yet.  >:(
Admission.  I'm actually not that fussed about cake.

The site says entries are open until 15.30 CET today, so there's still time.

No.  I just tried.  Well at about 7:30 this morning.  It let me go through the registering bit and then told me that entries were closed.  ::-)

No scores up yet?

Re: Virtual Tour Manager - velogames.com

It normally takes a few days for the first scores to be posted, allowing for the checking to take place and the swapping of riders before the start.

After the initial effort, scores usually make it up on the site on the following morning.

With your team Grub I think it might be better to wait a few days anyway.
