I'm loving this league - reckon I have a better than evens chance of winning.
(I am the only entrant presently).

I am in now Jerry Corb's All Stars
Posted 6 years ago # -
about 10 entered so far (last tine I checked). I might need to change my team, better be quick.

Team Rule 5
Posted 6 years ago # -
team picked, one shot deerhunter style
which probably means a mid-table finish
i'll be well and truly off-grid for the last few weeks of the tour
so i won't be around to see Team SRD swoop in and register their winning squad right before the final stage, a la ToB 2016
of course i'm not bitter... its only a game after all... sheesh...

"swoop in and register their winning squad right before the final stage"
Really?
Is that possible?
Sounds like a good strategy!

it was controversial, certainly

but within the rules

As I explained to ChDot at not-PY, your team must be registered before the start of the Tour.
However, you can join mini-leagues at any time.
MrSrd was just rather slow to get around to joining the 'correct' CCE mini-league last time.

Twenty two members of the CCE mini-league now.

Thought about changing team to Sagan and Froome but where is the fun in that?
Posted 6 years ago # -
exactly. I think i'll regret not having bardet though.
Posted 6 years ago # -
spent the morning listening to podcasts, second guessing my choices. only made one last minute swap though (Yates for G)
Posted 6 years ago # -
@srd, ooh, dropped G? I aleady dropped him and now feel I should have stuck with my old Quintana, Thomas, Cav formAtion I always used to favour
Posted 6 years ago # -
yes, i have tended to a similar lineup, but Q hasn't seemed a good bet of late. and everyone said G couldn' still be in good shape after the giro. gah.
kicking myself. luckily miniSRd says I can be on her team.
just delighted for G in real life though. what a triumph. first stage win and first yellow jersey.

Oh dear, I knew I should have included today's winner :(

I was doing okay after stage one but the wheels seem to have fallen off since then.
Posted 6 years ago # -
I picked my team by a rather dodgy method; osmosis. Not doing too badly considering.
Posted 6 years ago # -
My excuse is that I have a startup team
Posted 6 years ago # -
All my team bar one have points. Not many points but at least we are a team, not a big name pedal unclipping showman ( I do like him but too easy to pick him for your team)
Posted 6 years ago # -
Sagan out - sigh .... I was going to struggle not to finish last as it was.

Spoiler alert above

@G - oops. I didn't think this was a spoiler free zone.

Illustrious leader has this year tried to create a thread if you want to discuss events before 8pm when the highlights finish.
Other Tour de France threads to remain spoiler free.
Having looked at the footag a bit, they are going so fast that it is almost instinctive from Sagan but definitely takes cav out and then cav takes someone else out.
Greipel is scoring most of my points.
Posted 6 years ago # -
One tactic I did use in selecting was to avoid choosing riders that I like, to improve my chance of feeling happy about the results. But not feeling too happy today. Two big characters out :(
Posted 6 years ago # -
@amir yes, hence my Greipel
do not like Froomey so much I am afraid, and such is my lack of empathy with him, I won't even put him in the greipel team. However, part of that is because he is too obvious and easy a pick.
Sagan I do like but do not pick because he is so obvious and has such big elbows. Wheelies still epic
