Yes, TDU is the plan. I've not forgotten about this and I still plan to do it but I've been... well, a bit slack tbh. But I've more or less written up the rules and will put them up here within the next few days.

Amazing, I cannot wait for this, expect me to get almost as many correct as I do with any fantasy sport

I've never had Sky. But somewhere online there will be a makeshift (free) solution. Keep an eye on the calendar in my signature - I'll post up links when they're available.

The TDU is gonna be part of it? Man... I don't know jack squad of that race
... then again that might increase my chances of guessing/picking some riders right

I'm going to be away all next week and probably won't have the internet, so I shall have to make my predictions in advance

I am not sure they would still be predictions, if you didn't make them in advance Rich.

BTW smutch, as said by many of us before, don't make things too complicated...
Most of us here probably have a maximum of 3 rules-storage capacity anyway (and it makes your life/work/counting much easier).

Hey... can we predict who's going to win our predictions league (for extra points)?!?

I will kick off with Vamp for the title -

I reckon he would race his Granny on a walking frame if the gauntlet was thrown down.
