Don’t forget you might need to make changes as teams are finalised. When I was setting up my team, Stannard was on the Sky roster as they defaulted to late year’s team (presumably without any riders who’ve changed teams?), but he’s not riding this year. I’m waiting on a couple of teams to confirm and suspect I may have to make changes
Rider lists being updated regularly as each squad is finalised, so remember to check your team for non-starters. I had Alex Dowsett down, but he’s not riding so I’ve had to make changes
Froome’s 26 points, Porte and Sagan 22, then down to 18 for Quintana. Everyone else is 16 and below. Porte is looking strong but I think a lot of the tipping him as favourite is mindgames. However that should really be on the main TDF thread
I’ve done a full analysis of the stages, best suited riders to each, spreadsheet, recent form. Then picked some funny sounding names cos I ran out of $$.
So I’ll be way down the pecking order as usual 🙁
Come on Team Sumo Fatties! I’m off to Dusseldorf on Friday to watch the action close up!
If you pick a rider on the velogames site and then go back on a day or two later, will it tell you if any of your team has been withdrawn or do you have to do a proper check on the officialish sites ?
If you visit your team page and scroll down, there’s a “starter” column in the grid view. Tick for those riding, cross for those no longer on the roster
I’m also in although it was a rush job on Saturday morning. Our week old new born us using up all of my energy so plan on being way down the list some Paris!
