I confess to having entered using the cunning ploy of having two teams to double my chances. (But one of them's not really a serious choice.)
The real competition comes in the family league, but I'll be watching this one avidly, too. Thanks for setting it up, Karla.

tweaking today
zimmerman in, cav out

I read that as being Cav was out of the Tour!

Funny, I'm only seeing my team and one other in the league. Are you sure you haven't all entered a rival yacf?

Are you looking at the Superclassico YACF league instead?

Have you?

Not the best day for me today, be interesting to see just how many points I score. When is it usually updated?

On stage 2 - which was amazing for a stage 2, velogames seems to have got the points wrong for skjelmose. He should have 110 for coming in 6th but has zero

correction: the tv (we have GCN) was wrong, he came 23rd

Mr Larrington · « **Reply #12 on:** 02 July, 2023, 09:48:05 pm »

Skjelmose originally did finish 6th but he (and Bettiol) got relegated to the back of the bunch for “irregular sprinting”.

Yes, that was my mistake

vorsprung · « **Reply #14 on:** 05 July, 2023, 07:23:24 am »

It's pretty tight between 3rd and 6th place in the league. Anxious times

ElyDave · « **Reply #15 on:** 05 July, 2023, 08:16:06 am »

Can you still join, I forgot this year

Karla · « **Reply #16 on:** 05 July, 2023, 11:27:42 am »

You can't create a new team but you can still join the league if you did create one.

I suspect I'm going downhill as my Jakobsen/Philipsen coin toss chose Jakobsen, and Philipsen's advantage is only going to improve as Jakobsen recovers from his crash.

You're one of only three riders to choose Vingegaard though: one other has chosen Bernal and everyone else has chosen Pogacar. You're the highest placed of the three Vingegaardians, so you're at an advantage if he wins.

My team is built for distance not speed. It's a long way to Paris.

Could do with a Powless/Pogacar/Pidcock 1-2-3 today mind, with Benoit Cosnefroy doing some mad French shit along the way to hoover up all the other available points.

I chose Jakobsen too - not good to see him off yesterday, esp given the injuries he had to recover from.

ETA. Fabio with destroyed bike.

^^^^ would appear to require Instagram login which in my case I have not got. Though Tom Steels did mention on last night’s ITV4 highlights show that it had b0rked into three pieces.
