    Tour de France

    Rupert; I think Tinkoff Saxo makes top 3 tonight. If anyone could beat BMC tonight, it's them. I follow cycling all year round. I love the classics. I think the Tour de France is too soft in terms of profiles for the riders. Although this year was a big improvement in that there isn't a bunch...

    BMC 'should' smoke everyone tonight.

    If the break gets cau If the break doesn't make it then yeah, they will feature in the top 5 tonight And Rupert I wouldn't take notice of who does well on this climb. It's a nothing climb. It suited Cadel. That's why he won.

    Not sure when I'll make trades. Might make a couple today. Don't know who scores what in the team time trial.

    Your team doesn't score you much basically so why spend lots on it?

    Europcar is probably a good team to have for the last 2 weeks. Teams like that who will attack a lot.

    And I also agree re: teams. Spending 8 million for potentially 10 points, is it worth it? You know Ettix won't be doing anything in the mountains unless Uran is on song. In the SBS one last year I predominantly had a lesser team. I'm not going to spend much on the teams. I'm most likely going...

    I'm right about Kwiatkowski. Not worth the money.

    Tour de France

    I want to score something today other than the jersey wearers so re-traded in Dumoulin as my last trade for the week as he should get yellow tonight. He'll most likely lose it tomorrow, but I can sacrifice one spot in the team for the rest of the week.

    Tour de France

    i'm in 110th or something. It sucks having this stage today because you can't really trade for it without screwing up your team for the rest of the week. So not many people will score well on this stage as you can't bring in the riders that will feature like Albasini, Valverde, D Martin...

    That's another reason why I chose Lotto Soudal. To make up for not having Greipel. If I had Greipel I wouldn't have had Lotto Soudal. So you were the only two with Cavendish and Greipel? Good job.

    please please please let there be carnage. Huge gusty winds at the finish. THey had to remove the 1km to go banner as it was falling over. They might neutralise it. They better not though.

    Tour de France

    Cheapest/best option available. I was going to go for Katusha, as they would score me more than Lotto, but I needed that 2mil in case a rider pulls out. With Kwiatkowski's form iffy, only today, Wednesday and Friday will Cavendish be a clear favourite to score for them so it's potentially a...

    Tour de France

    I had to trade out Boasson-Hagen to have enough $$$ for a team. Brought in Navardauskas as a risk/reward type scenario. So my changes were; Quickstep to Lotto Soudal Martin to Matthews Barta to Bennett Dumoulin to Demare Cancellara to Degenkolb Malori to Kristoff Boasson-Hagen to...

    Are we even eligible for prizes in this comp? Actually I may not be trading Dennis out. Looking at the results he has a strong chance to hold onto yellow on Monday.
