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

[rich p]

All done, thanks again Dayvo, Team "Which way do we go?" is all set to claim the Yellow

<hopefully, depsite having never heard of any of the riders, no idea about strategy, wonders what a domestique is and assumes it's someone to do their ironing during racing etc>

Panter, almost right, a domestique is a filipino houseboy who polishes the saddles of the top riders and may provide other extra-curricular services if required

It would be quite interesting to set up a reverse league where the aim is to pick the worst team possible, with the winner being the one who accumulates the least points at the end.

Actually, now I think about it, it wouldn't. It would be shite.

 

[Chuffy]

No evil Astana riders in my team

Miss! Miss! Noodley's been copying my homework!

None of Mr Bruyneel's vampires in my team either...

That's Team Hot Sauce btw...

 

[Chuffy]

All I have to do now is:-

• Remember who is in my team
• Remember that I have a team
• Check my team occasionally

If I forget to check them do they like, die or something?

Can we amend riders if they drop out or anything??

Can we amend riders if they drop out or anything??

And do we get to raid Cathryn's tour bus?

 

[stumpy]

I've entered my challenge for overall bottom spot on. I narrowly missed out in the Giro but I'm sure I can do worse this time around....Fingers crossed eh???

The real tragedy is that Soler can't drop out after failing to negotiate a bend as he's not in it. We need anothet figure of fun to poke sticks at - LA anyone? Cuddles?
