    Well done, Dennis, Not bad for your first ever ride in the Tour de France. Set a new Time Trial record and get the yellow jersey.

    Tour de France

    I wondered about Kwiatkowski - he did win the Amstel Gold and came 2nd in Paris-NIce - but that was a couple of months ago. Then I read this: http://velonews.competitor.com/2015/07/news/kwiatkowski-eyes-yellow-in-the-first-week_376034

    Tour de France

    Good get with Dennis, Grater. What a great ride. I thought of him but he was too expensive. Well, if he didn't win he was. I've chosen some who might do well today and some for the rest of the week. Tony Martin Tom Dumoulin Adriano Malori Matthias Brandle Alex Dowsett Michal Kwiatkowski...

    Back on line. God that was aweful. My internet was downloading at only 30kps. Like living in the 1990's. Anyway. I have another application to join our league" team name The Grators. Is that your friend FG? Thought I should check before I hit accept.

    Tour de France

    I've accepted Maulers and Prospector SCC into the mini-league but they say it might take up to 24hrs for your teams to appear. Don't forget to save your completed teams, including the bonus stage. Note that the bonus stage cannot be changed once the Tour starts. A bit over 1hr to start time.

    Tour de France

    Good on ya, doddy. As far as I can tell people can join a mini-league any time up until 20 July. Even if they don't enter their team until after the start of Stage 1. I didn't have a team until after stage 2 last year and it didn't matter that much. So I've set up a mini-league. Name...

    Tour de France

    Pretty straight forward FG if a bit complicated to start with. I'll do my best to explain. All up you have 65m Euros to spend on 9 riders and a team. Then you get points for where your riders finish on each stage with extra points for taking and/or holding one of the jerseys, points/mtn/overall...

    Tour de France

    That's 2 of us Prospector. Need a minimum of 5 for a mini-league. If we can get another 3 players I'll arrange it. First stage starts 10.00pm Aussie east-coast time so I'd need to know by about 8.00pm to set it all up. After it is set up anyone can join, even after the start of the race...

    Tour de France

    As people may, or may not, be aware the Tour de France is starting this week-end. I was wondering if anyone was interested in starting/joining a fantasy league. There are several fantasy competitions available but the one closest to the form of fantasy we know, with teams salary caps and...
