Test your knowledge in the 2019 Bike Hub Fantasy Tour

By Press Office · 137 comments

The annual Bike Hub Tour de France Fantasy Tour is back for 2019. This year Bike Hub is offering Lazer helmets and eyewear as prizes during the Fantasy Tour. We have also introduced a pools feature allowing you and your friends to test your knowledge in your own leagues.

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 10 riders: 8 active riders and 2 substitutes.
  • Team submissions close once the Tour begins: at 12h00 SAST on Saturday, 6 July 2019.
  • 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.

I'm in two minds, re my French rider on the team. Other than that, I think my first stab at a team will be my final pick. No time to second guess, other than the frog.

I have 2 frogs.

 

But the route is making this complicated.

And also the lack of some serious contenders.

I don't have a single TDD rider in my squad, so I fully expect them to make a miraculous recovery and relive their 2016 heydays.

I just checked again, and realised I have two Frogs too... **face plant**

 

But I still can't make up my mind on the one.

I have probably changed the one slot 20 times.. the route is complicating the green jersey competition and the early TTT isn't helping either.

No wonder I absolutely suck at this game....

 

How much time have some of you put into this?! 

 

I sucked 2 x GC that won't likely win stages = subs

 

Someone from Michelton Scott as they will be in Yellow after the TTT

A couple of Hilly bolters

Stage winner/polka dot potential

2xGreen jersey

Early leader potentials

 

I thought that was a comprehensive breakdown of chance.

 

Evidently the 7 minutes it took me to suck some names from relative form is about 1/100th of what it takes to win!

You'll do better than me who has now studied week one.

Only 35 minutes left to change my team for the 99th time.. Need to build on my Epic podium :) Also got about R20k in pre race bets in, no food till end of July

Made an 11th hour change (11:59) - figured (as in hope) he might score more points per stage, as well as the green and white jerseys.
