Fantasy Tour de France - It's live!!!

[Crackle]

I'm hanging by my Hushovds

 

[Noodley]

My points shown in team score do not correspond with the points shown in the League It's been like that since stage 2.....it shows more points in the league than I actually have.

And incidentally, what is the point of David Moncoutie being at the Tour?

Funny that. It seems to have updated at some point today but I don't have the points that I ought to for my two chaps today.

Isn't Mr Moncoutie the ex-postman? In which case he's probably slipped off route for a bacon butty and a bit of a snooze...

 

[Crackle]

Same with mine, seems to be an update behind. I nearly put Moncoutie in my team but instead I chose 6 other lemmings.

 

[Noodley]

Moncoutie only git into my team as the choice of "Climbers" was terrible. Plenty of proper climbers were in as domestiques.

I'm not making an issue of it but surely this cannot be the list of best "Climbers" for Le Tour:
Carlos SASTRE Cervelo Test Team 18
Roman KREUZIGER Liquigas 14
Robert GESINK Rabobank 14
David ARROYO Caisse D'Epargne 12
Cyril DESSEL Ag2R-La Mondiale 8
David MONCOUTIE Cofidis 8
Igor ANTON Euskatel - Euskadi 8
Mikel ASTARLOZA Euskatel - Euskadi 8
Laurens TEN DAM Rabobank 8
Juan Manuel GARATE Rabobank 6
Chris Anker SORENSEN Team Saxo Bank 6

Especially when 2 of the team must be "Climbers"

Haha - see post #104. Experience led me to ignore him this year.....looks like I made the right choice

I haven't tracked all of them but neither of the two I picked have done 'owt yet. I don't think any of the others have, have they?

Astarloza was third today. I chose Lius Leon Sanchez as a "climber" from the Domestiques, Thomas Voeckler was also a Domestique.

It wasnae that difficult was it?

Yep, LL Sanchez was a "Climber" for me from the list of Domestiques.

The 'poor' Climbers list had benefits I suppose as it allowed climbers to be chosen under "Domestiques"....
