No. Thanks.

I'm going Kittel/Cavendish out; Alaphilippe/Van Avermaet in. Why? Uphill sprint finish and neither Kittel nor Cav are too good at those. Finish suits Alaphilippe and Van Avermaet and they are, or should be, targeting this stage for a win. Then I'll transfer Kittel/Cav back in before stage 3 as...

OK. Just went back to the Leagues page and it's not blank anymore. Noticed that in the top league all but one team had stage one as their bonus stage. They won't be there long. Welcome to Lou. I don't know if this is happening to anyone else but when I go to transfer riders the system has...

Well done to all. I was wondering how we rated after stage I as we all got decent results. Our worst, "We love It" (whoever that is and welcome to the league) is ranked 526. Where did you find the League ranking, @Fitzroy Guerrilla ? I've brought up the League of Leagues page but no details appear.

@Grater Well done. A really good start. To get the top 7 is amazing - especially in a bunch sprint like that. Be interesting to see where you sit among the top teams as Cavendish is in only 25% of teams and LaPorte and Theuns are probably in very very few.

Don't you just love the iridescent Tinkoff outfit?

You should be able to use one of your 8 transfers to change your team if you don't want Sky. Free up some cash.

@keffa Not to worry. Last year was the first year for most of us, I think. Last year was my 2nd year but my first year I was typical newbie: no idea what I was doing, didn't bother to read the rules so didn't understand the scoring or transfers or anything much, picked the riders I liked...

I agree with @Grater that if you want a decent team Ettix is the one. Wouldn't be surprised if they came away with the most stage wins. No real GC contender so they are after stage wins: Kittel in the sprints, Tony Martin in the TT, Dan Martin and Alaphilippe in the hilly stages.

@keffa As your team is very similar to mine, I have to say it looks pretty good. Only a thought: your chosen team, Sky, scores 10, 8, 6, 4, 2 points for a rider finishing 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. That's not very much when you think that even the 16th rider in a cat.2 stage scores 10 points. So, is the...

Given we have 8 trades for the first 7 stages and that the first few stages are for the sprinters, I am loading up with the top sprinters plus a couple that stage 2 might suit, eg Sagan and Matthews. I do have one cheap-ish sprinter in McLay as he is the main sprinter for Fortuna - but I don't...

@doddy2731 No, it should say "Team Complete". Have you chosen both a Bonus Stage and a Team? If you have, then try refreshing the page and see what happens.

Yep, only one sleep to go. Must admit I am more interested in le Tour than I am in the footy atm. (At least until the Sainters play.) Should be a good one - great list of both GC and sprint contenders.

I notice we have a Lynx TM in our league. Welcome, whoever you may be.

Sorry, can't help you there. I use my laptop. I'm OK with that. I've gone to my phone to check the site out but I can't even figure out how to bring a rider list up on the phone.

The obvious which I assume you've done: To select both team and stage look to the top right of the My Team page and find "Rider/Team/Stage" . There is a drop down menu which should have "Riders" showing. Click on that and you can access "Team" and "Bonus Stage". The glitch in the software: It...

I'm thinking of making stage 18 - the uphill ITT - my bonus stage. Miss out on 2 x assist points but more likely to have the favouites placing on it. No breakaways. Any thoughts?

I think that we were placed quite highly until the last couple of stages but then dropped away. And, not wishing to boast, but yours truly was the highest placed.

Now if @doddy2731 and @Prospector join up we will have 6 in the league. That's one more than last year. Anyone know anyone else interested? I've a friend who stays up to watch every stage but he's not into fantasy - he says. Bonus this year is we can actually win prizes,:cool: Later: I'm...
