On the right you see games, click the TDF game
On the left you see the Cycling team overview.
You need to select 15 riders with point value 1-5, the best scoring team and the jersey winners
League Code: 30QN6QWH
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Hang on. Who and where said it is ASO fault? I only read "due to a recent legal notice". Who said it is because of ASO?
Well the wording "the current Fantasy Grand Tour game" implies he isn't being allowed to use the Tour de France name.
In addition to the fact that ASO just launched their own Fantasy Tour game, for the very first time. I notice that they tweeted about having 10k signups for it - while Velogames had over 20k for the Giro, and I believe over 50k for last year's Tour.
And who else would have reason to object?
Oh, I didn't hear about their own Fantasy game. Thanks for clarifying. If so, let them burn in hell 
This is proof enough for ASO greed and will to decide what's going on any were concerning cycling. So glad UCI/Wada slapped them on their fingers in the Froome case. Don't care if he is guilty or not. ASO shows they like to rule and in VG case no hord of lawyers stepped forward telling ASO to fuck off.
Lots of other similar fantasy games are setup everywere but they might have stronger backing so the assholes in SO decide to go after the smaller backed websites.
Over my dead body I would never sign up for them. Actually for the firt time I truly hate the action of an organization. FIFA has always been bad, but this takes the top honors.
These bullies felt stronger than ever when the thought they could ban whoever they liked to be out of "their" race. Guess even mentioning Tour de France could get ypu a letter from ASO. I better watch it then. 
A warning to all stage-creators of making any kind of TDF stage and using the name will take care and have lawyers prepared.

Velogames TDF was shut down, most likely to avoid legal problems with organisers...
WTF...whats the reasoning behind this shit?

ASO have set up their own fantasy tour de france game. I guess Velogames is their biggest rival so they've pulled out the old conpyright card and demanded they remove all reference to the Tour de France on their site which means they have no option than to remove the game or risk a costly legal issue.
It's quite a shit thing to do.

This year is the first time they created a fantasy game, that’s why, I thinking. |

Okay I joined. But only just to try it. And I do not like it comparing to velogames. We are just two here

Really disappointed in ASO, they need to read more Spiderman!
Joined Ollfardh's league for a bit of fun.
Velogames was how I was getting my 8 year old into cycling, he beat my Giro team, now I have to try and explain what corporate greed is about

I prefer Velogames as well for the record, but I'm in the other game with other people (so that why I have a different name). It's better then no TDF game for daily.
About one hour left to join!

I've quickly joined Ollfardh's league. Interesting concept - with some surprisingly cheap riders in there!

Disappointing that a corporation feels the need to threaten to litigate against something that has only enhanced their product and the interest in it, not to mention the negative feelings it generates towards the race ownership.
I'm certainly no longer interested in partaking in or purchasing anything officially endorsed any more

As an aside I'll see how my picks get on while enjoying the race:
Roglic
Valverde
Bardet
Bernal
Groenewegen
Erviti
Dupont
Pasqualon
Sagan
Silver lining - I've probably been saved from a huge fail!

If I'm not wrong I had:
Nibali
Dumoulin
Groenewegen
Cort Nielsen
De Gendt
Burghardt
Those I'm 100% sure.
I think I had also Landa, Kruijswijk and Alaphilippe or Gaviria. |

This was my team
Fuglsang
Thomas
Yates
Bardet
Gaviria
Moscon
Benoot
G. Martin
Laporte
Was going to try and fit in Quintana, probrably take off Thomas for Alaphilippe. Yates out for the Colombian. And maybe would try get in Cort Nielsen as an extra sprinter into Benoot's place.  |

You had Landa, Kristoff and Zakarin. (If you know your way around URLs, most of the pages are still there...)

That's a shockingly good team, how was it in the price limit
