Woh, around 1100 points between first and last, well done Team Hoppy (you're also 5th on the BC league too..).

Still just chilling in the middle of the bunch.

A steady 19th still. Wondered about choose EBH and Peter Sagan, would be kicking ass now!

Ta realman,

Froomes puncture has hurt my results today. I've dropped from 19th to 29th overall. Just hope he pays me back when it gets hilly. Starting to wish I'd gone for Sagan instead of Cav but I'm allowed one sentimental selection.

Yeah, it's a proper tricky choice. Can't wait to see Cav vs Sagan in the proper sprint stages. Of course I've got both 😉

Yep... thank you vmuch, third in our (stw) league and 5th on Tritalk, all without Cancellara…. Happy days.

I’m milking it while I can, as if my velo team is anything like my fantasy footie teams, starting great only to fade and fade again …… this will be as high as I get.

Cancellara was in my team orginally but i had to have a re-rig to get a frenchman in... somehow a tour team without a native felt wrong.

Up to 26th place. My boy @TweeterSagan did me proud yesterday, but i was let down by Chris Froomes puncture.

Are transfers/substitutions allowed, as i've got 3 blokes who don't seem to want to come to the party.

Sprint on the cards today though, so i'm hoping for a Hutarovich-Sagan 1-2.

No. Which is a bit of a slap in the face if like me you picked Tony Martin 😕

How long after the stage do they update Velogames?
(need to move up from a dreadful 77th!, but have Cav)

Dunno but I suspect that I'm going to drop today. Cav is good but my other 'sprinters' let me down. GC and assists help but I reckon this is where I slip back into the pack until the mountains sort everyone out again.

I believe we have an update. Hoppy still in the lead, and I'm slowly starting to make my way forward.. 🙂

Dropped another place to 5th, but without Cancellara or Cav in my team I'm pretty happy.

Goss has ID today as an important stage for him with Sagan being a big rival..... a 1/2 from them would go down a treat.

77th but I've got a fair few climbers and break away artists so I'm hoping for a dramatic impovement when we hit the mountains proper.

If you picked your team before the race started....yes.
Although I suspect it depends on whether you are beating brakes or not.

Got an update. Rorschach still in first place. Brakes still bitter (probably). What happened today hasn't thrown me back too much..

Quite exciting...I've risen every day just reached the dizzy heights of 82nd...my climbers are waiting patiently to do their thing though.

Rojas out & Voeckler's got a dodgy knee.

Not looking good for team En Masse 🙁

Edit: or for Rojas for that matter

Yeah, felt sorry for Kittel. No one wants to ride with a stomach bug in white bib shorts.

Hmm, today's stage was really not good for team hoppy. Cav held up and out of the sprint, Ryder losing 13 minutes and not sure to start tomorrow. Balls.

I've got Greipel and Sagan. after my 0 points in the prologue things have been getting better steadily! I've essentially picked a climbing team too...

@TweeterSagan doing me proud, but lost Danielson today 🙁

Hmmm I went for Greipel but chose Schleck over Sagan after a lot of arguing with myself...oh well will see but I got a some good climbers and the two GC faves.
