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.

Bling will score points in green Jersey comp.. I donno about Porte he may try something but I am doubtful that he will mean much on the score sheet[emoji2368]

 

Tough one..

I am a bit thin on GC riders and climbers.

Jip. Next round of substitutions are on Tuesday, 23 July. Check your 'My Team' page.

Thank you. It's a bit crap, use to Fantasy League and SuperBru that allows until the next day or just before the round/stage starts ;( Was in 15th and would've wanted to bring in some GC guys. Anyway, no point in moaning.......But maybe BH should consider extending the sub time period to before the next stage starts.

Meh.. I think it's cool that you have to make commitments on the rest day.

 

The scoring is very different to 'bru, so they should keep it as different as possible where possible.

 

This is a good example of why you should read the rules/terms and conditions when you enter things!

 

Bad luck, 15th is WAY above my pay grade!

I ended up replacing Ewab, should've replaced Matthews. Hearing Cees Bol will sprint for sunweb today, not Matthews :(

Subbing Caleb Ewan for Warren Barguil.

Ooooffff courrseeee he'll win now!! [emoji2357]

At least Barguil got a top 10 today.
Jakkals.

Why the hell would Rohan Dennis retire the day before TT?!! I'm done playing..

I'm going to edit this post after stage 21... just don't want to say it now.

Finally my pick of Enric Mas is bringing me points.

 

Sad for Wout, but at least I have my 1 sub sorted for rest day.

Baldrick

Last weeks subs have been kicked out. I have a Yates in my team. Do I get half points because of the incorrect first name?

Vetplant

Nibali has been the most useless rider in my fantasy team, 6 whole points in the whole two weeks, which he didn't even earn himself, but rather in the TTT.

 

I have to reward the riders that are carrying some form. so easy choice to drop him. But watch out, murphy states that he will now have a blinder in the ALPS.

DJuice

Also carrying Nibali.

WVA made my sub decision easy, just not sure who to pick:

Bling or Groenewegen.

@grootlem

Jul 23, 2019, 11:50 AM

Hope you went with Groenewegen. Cees Bol sprinting for Sunweb

DJuice

Hope you went with Groenewegen. Cees Bol sprinting for Sunweb

Grootlem, I did went with Groenewegen.

Concerned he will not make the mountains, Thursday to Saturday to win the big one on Sunday.

Bling took himself out of the race, with no believe in his own ability.

I dropped Adam Yates... He really just hasn't turned up for this race at all.

I also wanted to drop Adam Yates. Zero points in two weeks! Unfortunately I'm sitting with two other riders that already had to withdraw from the race that's occupying my subs bench..

He hasn't been as bad as Ilnur Zakarin! 

 

I lost WvA. The rest of my less than well picked team are still going.

Eugene Oppelt

I'm in the top 1/3 of placings and have neglected / forgotten to make any subs on both rest days.

 

*face palm*

Another "top 4" plus three jerseys, yet still a mile away from the top.

 

I feel a bit like Porte, Uran, Fuglsang, Buchmann, Landa and Valverde... good enough to be there, but not good enough to win.

Making some nice progress in the right direction. It will be all undone if Thomas gets yellow tomorrow. Hope Pinot does his magic again.
