Good idea 
I hope that everyone of my team will reach Paris
If not I hope Wrölich will get some last place points 
If I remember right he was at the last "Top 10" when he had done the Tour

I think it's best to submit your team as late as possible, so I better not forget about this on Friday. |

Theres nothing stopping you entering now and then making any relevant changes to your team before Friday. |

That's good. In that case, I'll probably enter some time tomorrow
Sorry, I just realised you wrote that in the news item also.

I wanted to enter till I read that stage results don't count, takes away all the fun for me

I really like this idea. Hopefully, I'll win it all. But probably not, due to many outsiders.

I think that having the Sprinters jersey having the same amount of points as 51st place of the yellow jersey is kinda weird.. I'd like the points jersey to be more valuable than 51st place.. Anyway, this will be fun |

Think about the overall points, not just individual jerseys. I've thought it was unbalanced so many times and then reworked my team. Every time I reread the points explanation thread I realize just how complex it is. I think I've changed my team about 15 or so times now The points system seems very solid and I think we will all be surprised at how it turns out.
I hope sportingnonsense is usuing some sort of program which runs all the numbers for him, as i cant imagine trying to do all this manually.
With teams locked at the start of the race, it would be really cool if in addition to daily rankings, we could see what individual riders earned on the day. I think we will find that their are plenty of dark horses who could earn a ton of points and leave those of us (myself included) who are sticking mostly to top contenders about middle of the pack. And that doesn't even consider something like Cavendish not finishing the tour, or any of the top GC contenders having trouble..... |

Since you have several copies to offer, may I suggest that whoever wins Fantasy Tour de France is awarded with a copy?

Nah, we'd like to give them away 'now', not in a month of time |

Btw. I was thinking that you will go with Menchov again. When TdF is over your signature will be Gesink or Freire |

how am i in the lead? I didn't even look at the scoring would be done and just picked riders I liked. I think I did well in stage 4 too. Even my final pick Sergio Paulinho who was 2 points is in 11th place.
