Velogame Femmes 2026

[Shadow]

Calling all femmes fantasists!

Get your team in by 14:30 CEST on Saturday 1st August 2026. (That is 13:30 BST UK time and 08:30 EST ON/NY time).

I'm in

I'm in. Barely seen the line-up or the stages, but I'm in.

Isn't this easier in the main Velogames thread though?

 

[Dogtrousers]

I needed that.

Not been going too well. I was really hoping Celia Gery would have done more in the punchy sprinty stages. Ali Jackson just failed in her one and only job (get in the break on stage 1) No, Alison, no points for just getting yourself on telly but not in the actual break. Vallieres has been a bit of a duff pick, but maybe she can get some breakaway action now. I'm not sure what I expected from her to be honest.

But today things fell into place with 1,3,4,5 and 7th on the stage and 1,2,3 on GC. Yay! Maybe things are turning round.

Impressive indeed - top scorer in the entire Velogames

Chapeau!

Now if we could just check your bra, sir....

Chapeau indeed! Super impressive @Dogtrousers.

I needed that.

So did I...only more so.
I thought I did ok today, until I saw the league for today's stage.

Like you, I have 1, 2 & 3 on GC. I ditched WIebes to go for more GC riders which may work but not enough stages to move up the overall league, but also meant ditching a 6 credit countrywoman for a 4 credit French femme. I ditched my favourite Paris-Roubaix winner and countrywoman too. But I'm still left with mes quatre canadiennes, so that is ok. Maddy will come good. Maybe in the hills...or another time altogether.

Onward and upward - the only direction Les Filles Folles can go.

The CC league is split into two groups that differ around 5 key riders.

Group A 100% have Cedrine Kerboal. Group B do not
Group B 100% have PFP. Group A do not.
Group A 100% have have Demi Vollering (not guaranteed for group B)
Group B 100% have both Lorena Wiebes and Femke de Vries (Not guaranteed for group A)

Group A is Norbo, Femmes Fatales, Goforit, Filles Folles
Group B is CJCycling and Westmalle Tripel

As exactly half of group B I'm wondering if two players is big enough for a group?
Also, unless something special happens today, I'm not all that happy with my PFP pick

My money is on Femme Fatales at this point...

 

[Dogtrousers]

All very close. Interestingly none of us have picked Kasia.

Looks like having Antonia Niedermeyer is proving very important.
