How does this league account for "winners" post-doping scandals?  Or is that its own separate statistic that we get magic points for?

Why does your squad look so much better than mine?

Why does your squad look so much better than mine?

most are all old, and have been all over the television. 

i figured i would pick some big names, so when phill goes off on how great they were, i can say, 'that guys on my team'

froome and sagan are no brainers, and tj. is a local kid.  fuglsang still has some legs.

IN!!!

I been back and forth if Froome + $8/$10 flyer > Pinot and Contrador.  That flyer is going to have to finish in the top 15 and Froome must win to even have a shot.

 

[Nick Vermeil]

I'm going to be hard pressed to get a team entered in time to defend last year's win.  Gonna try though!!

Got one in. Needs tweaking. 

 

[tri-man 47]

I'm excited to view a couple of the middle stages - I just returned from a vacation that included southern France.  (Look at me!).  I was in the incredible town of Carcassonne, which is the start of a stage, and also in the cliff-side town of Gordes, which they pass through the next day.  I saw a field below the town of Sault with a pattern cut into it ...I'm guessing they'll pass right by there.

Any particular reason why?  Movistar and Tinkoff pretty much the same except with slightly less emphasis on the TdF.  Astana is probably dirtier.

Who will you be cheering for.

 

[BassNBrew]

Not a huge fan of the velogames format.  They should just price all the riders and let you chose.  At the very least, add a second wildcard and dump the third schmuck spot.

I just think the whole team is just a USPS starter kit.  I think the rest of the teams at least sort of halfway give off signals that they do things right up to the point of being caught. I mean it's pretty clear they have a line in the sand of you can dope THIS much and it's ok.....   

Sky seems to at least have something a little extra, maybe something pharma that isn't detectable.  That they put on this magnanimous face over the whole thing is off putting.

domestique it says.  american.  not too many choices.  i liked it though

 

[DA RAIDERS]

Will be cheering for sky to fail in a spectacular manner 

I'm with you on this.  their holier than thou attitude rubs me the wrong way.  i prefer the astana, tinkoff types, where the cartoon villain is slinking away, dressed all in black, cackling    maniacally.

 

[Jaysus]

Who wants to pick an all French team for the VeloGame?  @culdeus , I am looking at you. 

 

[Jaysus]

Also, I have swapped out my 4s at least five times today... pretty sure I would up with the same ones I started with - lol

 

[DA RAIDERS]

When does it lock?

 

[Jaysus]

Not sure, but I'm assuming about 5 minutes before I've made my final decision.

 

[grateful zed]

switched out schar for bonnet, the idiot who cause all those crashes last year.

im in this for entertainment.

 

[grateful zed]

You can make unlimited rider transfers up until the entry deadline of 12:50 CEST on Saturday 2nd July 2016.

 

[FishTacoTuesday]

I can't believe Vasco da Gama won the first stage. 

 

[Jaysus]

They always make this so blasted hard. I haven't felt good about an entry of mine in a few years. 

And after a week I am always all like "how could I have missed someone so obvious"

 

[grateful zed]

They always make this so blasted hard. I haven't felt good about an entry of mine in a few years. 

agreed, they should make this easier.

I thought it started tomorrow.  #### me.  

How can you not allow spoilers? You gonna DVR this #### and wait till the night to watch it?

[grateful zed]

never up at dawn, watch the edited 2hr replay in afternoon.  ive rooned a couple of stages by accidentally clicking here, but i can deal.

go spoilers !!!

 

[DA RAIDERS]

it does start tomorrow  it plays in the middle of the night for me.  i watch sometime during the day.  picking froome ####s the rest of your team.

 

[grateful zed]

contador and sagan on the same team remind me of telecom with ullrich and zabel.

 

[Jaysus]

are we going to allow spoilers?

As far as I am concerned, they are encouraged. 

 

[Jaysus]

it does start tomorrow  it plays in the middle of the night for me.  i watch sometime during the day.  picking froome ####s the rest of your team.

you can always just take the Russian Froome!

P.S. I took both!

 

[DA RAIDERS]

i've changed my lineup a 100 times..lol  no froome.  line up set 

 

[Sand]

In.  I'll  be very disappointed if I'm not solidly in last place by stage 4.

 

[DA RAIDERS]

Picking Froome and Sagan really does the trick

i took sagan...my man crush continues...

 

[Jaysus]

Looks like we had a few late entries in the Velogame for a total of 11, nice

i took sagan...my man crush continues...

oh yeah, me too.  I love that kid.

[Sammy3469]

I love Sagan but this TdF is probably too hilly for him to do much in a consistent basis.

Maybe echelons today in the last 40km and tomorrow's finish is pretty hard

 

[Jaysus]

I love Sagan but this TdF is probably too hilly for him to do much in a consistent basis.

I still think he is a lock for the green and several 2nd place stage finishes

 

[BassNBrew]

Froome - Couldn't see a reason why not.

Allaphippe - He's been killing it this year.  Probably too young but could be a top 10 finisher at a cheap price.

Quintana - More mountains and less TT miles made this an easy selection

Frank - Finished in the top 10 last year and was super cheap at 8

Kristoff - Hated this selection.  Looking at the tour profile I wanted Quintana more than Sagan

Pantano - Best value on the board at 6.  Could be a KOM threat.

Hayman - 1st at Paris Roubaix, could be a threat to win a hilly stage where the sprinters get dropped

Dennis - Really could be the team leader for BMC

Izagirre - Crushed it at Tour de Sussie.  Might win the uphill TT.  Typically a sprinter makes sense for the wildcard.

Interesting enough the overall winner last year did not have Sagan which was shocking.

 

[BassNBrew]

Cav winning helps out the people who went climber heavy.  Can will likely drop later in the tour.

 

[BassNBrew]

I didn't take Froome. At the end of the day, I could take Porte, Bardet, Gallopin, and Kreuziger instead of Froome and a bunch of guys who may or may not score points, it spreads out my risk, and I also differentiated myself from most everyone else who I assumed would take Froome. I would have gone Valverde instead of Porte, but I'm trying to stay away from guys who rode the Giro. 

It seems like a lot of people went with two big guns and have a few dead roster spots. I'm hoping to get points from 8 of my 9 spots. The downside is that Froome is probably going to win the thing and I won't have him. 

I'm also somewhat surprised how many other people have Alaphilippe, though maybe I shouldn't be. Perhaps I should have gone Mejintes in that young 10 point guy slot. 

I'm also second guessing myself taking Degenkolb in the flex spot. I'm not sure this is the year for two sprinters, but both him and Sagan tend more toward an all rounder rather than a pure sprinter

He set himself up for an attempt at a yellow jersey with today's finish.

I forget  to turn it on today.  Shocked at the time gaps.  Was that all crash related?

Froome and Quintana put time into most of of their rivals.  TJVG not on the ball again.

no froome for me.  don't like him.  he'll probably win, but maybe my mostly doping team will pay off.
i went with an all around team and climbers, climbers, climbers.  thomas will be with froome.  the rest will  at least be alive in the mountains.  2 man crush members, spartacus and sagan.  lots of youth.  should be fun!
