So in the KOM competition I took DeGendt out today thinking crosswinds would doom any break 
In the main game the same man propelled me into top spot for the first ever time in a TdF game (despite some serious long term GC shortfalls that will catch up with me) only for a mystery very late entry to subsequently pop up above me - who is Sergi and SCC and where did they come from? It was like Porte today - reaching out for glory then suddenly a moto to the face  |

Just realised the top 10 teams in the mini league all have Sagan. They will have to increase his cost to 50 credits next year...I'm still picking him  |

With 4 still in with a shout of a top 10 I think you have more than anyone in the GC hunt so you may move up a lot on day 21. Cummings and Pantano have delivered and may continue to do so. Just a bit unlucky with Greipel and Coquard underperforming really, could've been very different.
A big slice of luck involved as always in the GT's. |

Actually doing OK now, very slow start but most of my picks have paid off in one way or another. A high score is still dependent on Yates and Quintana sticking around with Froome to compete for the podium, but at least it's not the failure it looked like after the first 2-3 race days where I was almost on the bottom

Tour team picking up speed a little, had a greta first week and have hovered around 4th in local league, however Pantano kicking off just sent me top

Tour team decent but still too far back from the leaders, Yates and Quintana need to be more active to get me somewhere. Has Sepúlveda got off his arse yet this Tour? 
Great day with 5 of my riders scoring stage points in KOM, but traded Sagan/Grmay out for Navarro/Morabito so it could've been even better!

Complaining about Yates' TdF, wut ?
What did you expect him to achieve exactly ?!

I'm not complaining about his TdF at all, superb race from him so far. Unfortunately, despite being 3rd on the GC and always being near the front of the peloton, he very rarely gets big points for his stage finishes. Kristoff has over 200 more points than him, which isn't an accurate reflection of their results but evidently Yates hasn't been a top scorer in the Velogames system.

That's because of all the breakaway wins, so little in the way of stage points. That said he is still 16th highest scorer out of 198 and will probably shoot up the rankings after day 21 if not before
Hopefully not too much mind given I went for Barguil when making a choice between Barguil, Yates and Meintjes |

Just noticing that if I had picked Froome, Sagan, and Cavendish and then six riders who scored a combined 0 points, I would have been doing better than I am now. |
