Sng is going back to M&S...........

I was kinda hoping for some tips JTM after the success of your Giro team.

I've not done particularly well in Fantasy TdeF, as i remember, the Giro seems to be more my race.

Les Singes;

Menchov
Vandevelde
Sastre
Ten Dam
Hushovd
Millar
Chavanel
Wiggins
Farrar

I've also built a team around Cav, whose points value made it hard to include the other riders I like, and one around more obvious GC favourites.

Very difficult year this year, it seems like a strong field to me.

 

[Chuffy]

Team Hot Sauce:-
Andy SCHLECK SAX 18
Franck SCHLECK SAX 12
Mikel ASTARLOZA EUS 8
David MONCOUTIE COF 8
Mark CAVENDISH THR 20
Fabian CANCELLARA SAX 8
David MILLAR GRM 8
Sandy CASAR FDJ 6
Christian VANDEVELDE GRM 12

When does Mr Cancellara collect his points?

 

[rich p]

I top loaded my team with a few deadweights thrown in but they may, in time, all turn out to be deadweights!

 

[Noodley]

Would you like to cast your expert eye over my team, Noodley?

Franck SCHLECK SAX12

Franco PELLIZOTTI LIQ10

Carlos SASTREC TT18

Mikel ASTARLOZA EUS8

Daniele BENNATI LIQ18

Marzio BRUSEGHIN LAM8

Thomas VOECKLER BBO6

Luis Leon SANCHEZ GCE8

Oscar PEREIRO GCE12

I just hope Mr Sanchez justifies his inclusion, after I excluded Mr Voigt.

I have Sanchez in my team - he will do well

Another strong team <again apart from the wildcard >

There should be some very good competition in the CC League.

And I discount myself from that in all honesty as I reckon I might pick up some 'token' victories but am unlikely to make any impact on the top of the league.

It's a bit of fun.

 

[Noodley]

Sandy CASAR FDJ 6

For that alone I may have to lick the inner side of your red rubber pants.

Sandy Casar has long been one of my favourite riders, yet I have not picked him (ever) in any team.

Although I do have full FdeJ kit

I found it difficult to choose between Periero and Kirchen. But Periero has won it before. (yes, I know it is only a game )

You should have gone for Kirchen Seriously. If only you had sent me a PM....

 

[Speicher]

Pah, if I had sent you a pm, which ever you answered, I would have done the opposite.

Mr Crackle has Periero in his team, oh yes, ... but he has also got Menchov.

Anyway Noodley, you are such a slow reader, I would just about have got a reply by the end of July.

 

[Noodley]

As if I need to demonstrate just how sad I am even more - can anyone tell me how I could have posted my team with the team jersey colours?

I reckon it looks well smart

 

[Noodley]

Has anyone got Haussler in their team?

You copy and paste the list of your team as it appears in Velogames.
Then put in returns so it lines up with the margin, and then put spaces before the name of the teams, otherwise you get a bit of a muddle up.

 

[John the Monkey]

Picked him for one of my teams (the one with Berto as leader).

 

[BigonaBianchi]

...hmmmI thought I heard someone say 'custard creams' ...pass them over then

Yes I could.
