Make sure you check the points in the game rules before doing any trades to decide if it's worth it. The TTT gets fewer points for individual riders, although every rider in the team gets the same points if they finish in a positon.

Brought in Hodge for Hamling. Had hoped to have kept Hamling but figured I'd need to make the move this week. Hopefully Hodge delivers!

You reckon the climb at the end will suit them or they'll just push harder than the peloton to stretch out the finish?

It goes through the scoring in the rules section. First place gets 30 points in Cat 1 stages, 20 in Cat 2 and 12 in TTT, just as an example.

Might as well wait until before the Tuesday stage to trade because tonight should favour sprinters (or a breakaway) and then there is the team time trial for which there are fewer points and then a day off. You'd hate to trade someone in tonight who cops an injury when there are not many points...

I am glad that someone else remembers the occasion, @Rupert!

Does anyone remember the time a few years ago (2009, maybe?) when some sort of union strike was taking place and the striking workers were threatening to block the route of the tour on one course? I think there was only about 20min in it in the end, by the time someone negotiated with the...

Glad to see Amon back!

Maybe not a bad idea @M4TT B8S. It's a bit of a punt, but if you're making $80k and Gunston scores well over the rest of the year, you'd be happy with that result. You'd be wanting no less than a 90 average from him. At least Gunston appears less likely to get a rest game than the other...

Mountain stages seem to come in quite a bit earlier this year with some Category 1 and HC climbs featuring earlier in the piece.

If low on cash I think it's a fair trade as long as it doesn't leave you too low on trades.

I guess it depends on how much cash you have, how many trades you have remaining and whether or not there are other more important areas to fix up in your team. The trade should get you more points but if you've got a glaring hole elsewhere it may be a case of priorities. Oxley looks like he...

Yeah I like the Rance pick but he's started to trend upwards in price after a few big weeks, so I feel like I've missed the boat on getting him as a bargain and that it's only a matter of time until he puts in two weeks of sub 70 scores and becomes annoying! I suppose that's the story with any...

I would keep Wallis as Cripps may lag later in the season and may also be more susceptible to injury, being pushed at a younger age. Close call, though.

Armitage has been killing it this year and would make a nice unique choice. People who got him cheap in Draft competitions would be loving it! I have both Rockliff and Mundy. It will be interesting to see how many people jump on Rockliff over the next week or so.

Some funny names in this comp. The team in 20th place is called "Grifter Smifter". Sounds like the sort of terms used to describe farts when you were in Grade 5. I might change my team name to Taxo-Stinkoff.

I'll let you discuss your beauty routine with someone else, Prospy.

Unfortunately @Grater and I have both tested positive to EPO and have been disqualified. That probably puts and end to the league, I'm afraid?

Thought you'd be into Taxo-Stinkoff, @Grater

Considering Hodge vs Houli at the moment.
