This Ken Barlow World looks like he could overtake me though with sammy sanchez in the team.

Anyway....closed the gap on Noodles a bit more so I am happy

Is that you speicher who just dropped a little?

 

[Speicher]

Yes, just dropped down the league a teensy weensy bit.

Sportlichkeit is my team. (German for Sportsmanship)

Who is CCC?

Whoever they are Montage, you now have to beat Crackle, me and CCC to get near John the Monkey.

C'est moi.

Hello CCC. Rich P did a list of people and their team names, and your name was missing.

I am hoping that today Luis Leon Sanchez shows us his descending skills and moves further up the top ten.

Hi Speicher - being a new member, RichP wouldn't have known and probably still doesn't!

Regarding LL, you would think that, I would prefer he stays where he is!

Don't worry montage, you'll beat me at the end when the totals on GC are in...you've got Schleck and Contador.

It will be very close....you will have the green jersey. Which gives me only a 30point advantage when the results are out. That puts me about 9 points behind you. Thor will win you some points in 2 more stages, contador will win me points on thursday and in the TT.
Infact......if Lance does well in the TT .....
Close!!

Meanwhile Shadow picked the winner today and rockets past all of us. It's an uncanny knack he's got, that's two competitions he's skinning us in.

Duuhh, it's easy. All he has to do is pick the top nine riders.

At least that's what Flying Monkey says...

Beginners luck?! I think the Vuelta will be very different. I was beginning to think that I would stay around the same place - I was surprised to have Fedrigo win yesterday because he has done nothing else on this Tour for me. A very pleasant surprise though!!

What does FM know? I am coming to the conclusion that this version is harder to do well in than the road.cc one. Yes, it is easy to pick the 'best' riders or 'favourites' but they are not all there - e.g. Evans, Sastre, Wiggo ( altho' I suspected BW would struggle this year). I think the skill lies in choosing the lesser riders AND playing the joker - which I have done abysmally.

 

[Speicher]

Beginner's luck - that's what I had two years ago. My first attempt at Fantasy Racing, and I was second, behind Rich P, possibly, and ahead, well ahead of Dayvo.

 

[Speicher]

I would not want to be changing my team every day. Add up the time spent watching the stages, and writing about it on this forum .. that is ..um. lots of hours a day.

and ahead, well ahead of Dayvo.

from what I've read on CC, not difficult!!!
