Fantasy TDF Femmes 2025

WHAT??? I hadn’t checked since about day 2 when ELB dropped out and then Monica TC dropped out!! I just stopped checking as I assumed I was a goner!

Thrilled to bits! This has made my day!

@Cathryn holds on to yellow, which is a great achievement having lost Longo Borghini early on, and not having Ferrand Prevot
I'm still in second with Team Neufchatel but I was really hoping Demi was going to take control at this point. We both have Gigante so cancel each other out.
And attacking strongly from behind are today's stage winner Two from the Top and second placed Lifeinspain who both have Pauline Ferrand Prevot.

All set for an exciting final day.

There were more than 500 people with a worse score than mine today, a significant improvement on the around 350 of yesterday. This game sucks.

Edit: Thankfully at least one of those people on both days was @Lanterne Rogue, so I'm winning the only battle that counts

Congratulations to Two From the Top who took top spot, and LifeInSpain who motored up to second.
I managed to hang on to the podum with Team Neufchatel
@Cathryn 's Premier Inn Alpen Rapha dropped to fourth

I just spotted this! Gutted to be nudged off the podium (it must be due to my atrocious descending skills) but many congratulations to all three of you!

Au contraire, we both seem to have descended the rankings quite nimbly

Wow, can’t believe my team came top! Considering I had two riders with zero points and one with one.

I’ll admit I picked my riders mainly on reputation rather than form (and then filled out the last two places with whoever I could afford with the budget left) but it seemed to work out.

*Ahem*
I think you may have posted a draft version of this post, before you added an enthusiastic congratulations to me on beating @Lanterne Rogue

It's not too late to edit

Chapeau! to each on the podium.

@Cathryn must feel like Sarah Gigante, dropping off the podium on the last stage!

Having picked all 5 of my countrywomen, I have to be satisfied with my final placing. The 6 teams above me only picked 3 Brits in total - making the possibly dangerous assumption that the Directors are Brits. (Is Ricardo spanish? - but no spaniards in his team either!). At least the bad Dr had the decency to pick 3 Danes!!

I have a very soft spot for her. We are both small, perky and awful at descending!
