Is there a Velogames cyclechat league ?

Congrats on your overall victory @T4tomo - that you managed it with one of the thirteen riders in the race that scored zero points is quite something, though picking a Cofidis rider was always going to be risky (four of the thirteen no-scorers are from them)

I picked Oli Knight (and James Shaw) because they were Brits, when I was looking for 4 point fodder. Dunbar let me down but I must admit I'd got him confused with fellow Irishman Ben Healy and though he was in good form at the tour so picked him although to be fair Eddie was going OK in the tour also - in same break as Healy but then crashed out. I may have picked him anyway. Vine or Soler would have been better choices but I assumed they would be dutifully working for Joao rather than heading off into breakaways for stage wins.

Just for info, outside of our Cyclechatting bubble, this was the winning team for Velogames as a whole. They're just 1,513 points off the perfect score, which is incredibly good imo

I had 6 of those, and was position 2975 overall.

I had four and finished 200 odd points and 800ish places below you (one place in the Cyclechatting league)
Overall Race Score: 9909
Overall Rank: 3793 of 16682

The main changes I'd make would be to swap Philipsen for Soler in the wildcard position and Kragh Anderson for Pidcock as an unclassified, which would have given me and extra 1,724 points. Which would have comfortably won Cyclechatting and given a top 200 finish in all of Velogames. Obviously still no match for my heyday, where I was top 20 in the TdF official fantasy game, though I obviously don't like to mention that and you probably didn't know.

Fortunato, Beloki and Campenaerts were all more or less cheapish gambles. Fortunato probably the most disappointing.
