Looking at the rider selection I thought it was ptp but I'm not sure. I reckon he'd have had someone in the breakaway yesterday or he's slipping.

Me, my Velogames name has been around for a lot longer than my CC.

Well done to team Norbogaz and it's owner, tfc19, winners of the CC Giro league
I came with a late charge but fell 50 points short. Damn you race jury and relegation of Viviani........

Happy with mid table mediocrity. It's better than my usual crash n burn.

I fluked a good result. Somehow picked Nibali and Landa and pulled Hirt and Cataldo out of thin air who did good stage results. My mistake was choosing Viviani who I expected to do much better in his home tour.
Never played Velogames before and it's good fun (I was rooting for Landa which is probably a first) so I'll give it another go

Unfortunately ASO cut up rough with velogames last year and threatened legal action so there wasn't a tdf one last year. Dunno about this.

You did
You and @Crackle went very quiet when we got to the mountains and my inspired picks started delivering the points
I picked the KOM, unfortunately that wasn't worth too much, one breakaway winner who was the same as the KOM winner, lost my sprinter, lost my outside GC man, picked an out of form GC fave, mistakenly put the wrong Ineos guy in instead of Sivakov and finished, par for the course for me, middle of the pack. You on the other hand top loaded your team with GC faves, so you were always gonna come good at the end and by your own admission, jammily picked a couple of others who you'd forgotten were in your team, still, you finished second, so fair play, I can't carp too much about your pure luck rather than calculashion.
Now Dayvo on the other hand.......I did suppress a snigger when I saw his team.
