A whole team of them and cash to spare. I shall also be wearing a basque for the full 21 days (I'm having rest days on mondays so i can breathe)

Won't he or she get a bit heavy over 3 weeks?

Are you sure its fitted correctly? it does not need to super tight.

And waving the flag?

I just re-looked at my team. It has disappointment written all over it.

I do have one Euskaltel rider, a very cheap one. I don't know if he's a bona-fide Basque.

a very cheap one

Is there another kind?!

I dismissed the idea of having Bennett in "Los Monos" because he seemed a bit expensive for the number of points he might return, thus continuing the strong inverse relationship between being favoured in my fantasy team, and success in the real world.

Time will tell, sprinters are at / near the top of the rider standings at moment but their points opportunities are heavily front end weighted.

GC and mountains will be more influential on the fantasy outcome

@rich p and I are showing exceptional prediction skills. At least our team names predict how well our teams will do.

Remarkable,as David Coleman would have said, all of my picks have points aginst them and its only Stage 5, thanks to Arndt today, from nil points to 160.

I had Louis Meinjtes down to be an under the radar amazing climber. He has some real talent but scored 0 points. They need to send him up the road in a break away.

He did ok for me in the tour fantasy. Or was it the Giro, can't remember. Not spectacular but a reasonable return.

Trying to catch up after 2 weeks away ... how's Rog doing?

At least I'm in the top 20.
