My sympathies (well only a little, it is a league after all)Guess who picked Kruijswijk
My key underperformer so far is Chavez. Hoping yesterday was him "building into the third week" or some other such nonsense

Looking at your team, I am surprised you did not go for Majka, then you would have an equal number of riders from 3 teams!
Early days, your little colombian EC

I find it hard to like Majka whereas Chavez always seems such a happy soul,. He's in my team to cheer me up
If only you'd picked the ever-cheerful Slovak rider, Ivóntá Prozac

Congrats to norbogaz who dominated the Vuelta. He didn't have the winning rider, but had a lot of high scorers.
I finished just off the podium, but most pleasing was seeing Rich and Crax keeping each other company at the rear of the peloton.
Had enough humble pie, fellas, or is there more humble pasta, bouillabaisse and tapas to be had next year?

Chapeau indeed to team norbogaz - also finished top of podium for the Giro and bronze at the Dauphiné.
@Dayvo maybe thinking you're getting the hang of this now after all these years? Another fourth here after fourth in Dauphiné. Less said about Giro the better: I know the feeling.
p.s. anyone know who Jay Eliotta is?

The truth of the matter is I used to participate JUST for a laugh: I'd pick a team of riders who had the same initials as me, then name the team accordingly: i.e. Easy/DC, for example. Or pick a team of riders who had odd names: Jesus ...., Bono, Knees and so on.
It gave the experts (Rich, Crackle, Noodley - what happened to him and all his incarnations?) a giggle seeing me struggling.
Now the shoe's on the other pedal!

I will never stick Lopez or Chavez in a fantasy team again, I keep on thinking that they're going to come good, then they always let me down.
Dogtrousers
Kilometre nibbler
Neither of them can be as disappointing as Pinot. And I keep picking him.
