Oh no! Looks like there's some legal issues and the Velogames Fantasy Tour de France is unlikely to go ahead. Let's keep an eye on the website in case it gets resolved. Gutted - I was gearing up for the Giro/Tour double!

Stuart F

Yes just seen this. Expect the tour org is fed up with it and quashed it. Think they have their own version. Will look into it.

Exciting first day. Good day if your name is Dave. Hadsley in 1st Wells in 2nd Jones lantern rouge.

Simon.R

I've jumped in too......and expect my selection to be as good when the parcours starts pointing upwards as I am

Stuart F

Nice pick Simon you have smashed it up

Simon.R

I obviously DS like I TT & CX; all matches burnt off the startline and then try to hold on for as long as possible!

Stuart F

Current scores after 1st rest day. Simon storming ahead and is actually top 20 in whole of UK!!!
Don't forget you can swap out a rider up to the start of the race tomorrow. I was going to dump Kittel but had to change to Porte after his crash.

Simon that does not seem to be the case as you are still leading us comfortably and still top 100 nationally - just

On a related note. Is it just me or do the BBC regard Chris Froome as some sort of non person? Just seen (for the BBC) a lengthy news item about TdF and G leading (which is great) but not a single mention of CF and his previous 3 wins in a row or the fact that he is part of the team supporting G.


Looking forward to the next couple of days

BrendanR

I think it would take a spectacular effort in the remaining stages to overhaul Simon, but I'll be happy with a place on the podium! Sorry Stuart!! :-)

Stuart F

The final results

Fell off the podium at the last :-(

Well done to Simon. Strong team at the top for the whole event. A few changes in the lower ranks.
Lantern rouge had 4 non finishers!!!

Simon.R

phew, the last couple of days with a TT and a sprint just about allowed my squad to get over the line without me needing to apply for any fantasy TUEs to keep the fast-closing pack at bay

geoffg

Couldn't even get the lantern rouge.
