How it works

The Fantasy Tour is all about picking your very own Tour de France dream team. You can choose any riders from any team to make up the ultimate virtual team.

  • Pick your squad of 12 riders: 8 active riders and 4 substitutes.
  • Team submissions close once the Tour begins: at 11h10 SAST on Saturday, 7 July 2018.
  • Substitutes: On the two rest days during the race you’ll have the opportunity to substitute riders. You can drop the non-performers or bring in some fresh legs.
  • Once substituted, riders can be used again, however points are only allocated while a rider is active…. if they’re on the bench you don’t score points.

Pools

This year we have included a new a feature, public and private pools. Now you can square up against your friends, families, and colleagues. Get started by creating your own pools here.

I missed the cut off, was in Lesotho.  Ok so original list will pull across when the stage starts?

The phase 1 teams have now been pulled across to phase 2 for all those who didn't make changes.

suggestion to Admin.

 

close round 3 subs at 10am on the morning after the 2nd rest day.

 

will give the fence sitters some sleepless nights!

We reached this consensus in the office this morning... but more to allow all those who missed the boat a last chance than to induce (more) sleepless nights.

Nice gesture

 

It nearly caught me out (luckily my wife read the hub email and told me) as i thought it would be the same principal that applied to entries in the beginning

I.e just before the start time

For this round we've left cutoff at midnight last night to rather not change the rules after the cutoff, but for the next rest day we will push the cutoff out to before the start of the next stage.

So I didn't realise that my phase 1 team plus subs would have to be the same as my phase 2 team. Guess I'll have to bank on some sprinters to conquer the mountains for me :oops:

Don't be surprised if BMC defend that jersey for a few more days.

but short of options, I'm going to pick him anyway!

 

the one thing GVA did do well, is make sure that teamleader #2, TJ was out of the GC running about 1 hour after his elevation to that status

dammmmmmit I dropped GvA . That's about 100+ points he earned today. Don't think gaviria is going to get close to that this week

Bartali, i didnt really go for GC riders besides Porte which is out, more for riders that will go for stages like Alaphilippe, Bardet, de Gendt (will also get a combative somewhere) and Valverde. Hope i stay in top 20. Where you lying?
