Tour De Farkin 2023 - Starts Sat 1st July

[creaky]

Yeah 8 swaps.

I dumped Pog one hour before the start of stage 1 and put MVP in instead, also made him road captain. Bad move.

Ive got Pog but yeah, selected MVDP as stage winner bonus man for the first two. Obviously he’s tasked with conserving energy as a key lead out man for Phillipsen so maybe won’t try for an epic solo win until after the second set of sprint stages.

I got caught in the MVP hype, he's fresh, he's got no-one to ride for today, he'll be going for yellow.

I have no doubt he'll get a stage win but you can't drop 250pts a day having a 22 credit rider doing nothing.

Back to the Wout train?

I'm getting close to dumping MVP as well. Seriously thought he'd be there or there abouts in the first few stages
I gambled a few trades on sprinters for the next few days before the start of Stage 3. Didn't pay off the way I hoped.

Back to the Wout train?

Had him in there too. Sacrificed Poggy for MVP... Reflected in my 6th place

 

[ozzybmx]

I'm in... and will be as shit as any other fantasy league ive joined

As we approach stage 4 after a RB Blackout, @danncam is still leading with @mike14 in second and @creaky in 3rd.

The rest of us gambled and lost on the first 2 stages.

Good, you need to drop back a bit

At least you got some points, my man went for a tarmac nap.

 

[Ackland]

Oh good...
Missed the cut off and still have my sprinter for the stage win

Good luck, may be a puncheur tonight... fcked if I'm watching it, I've done the first 4 stages, went to bed at 2am this morning and lay awake till 3:30... my alarm went at 5am

 

[ozzybmx]

32 riders off the front already, few big favourites in there too.

Jakobsen riding 2 minutes off the back of the main peloton, poor bugger will be hurting after that crash.

Jakobsen is a tough SOB, but every crash can be a race - ender.

Looking to be a cracker of a stage, you have to stay up! I skipped last night as they weren’t racing. Got a few of my team in the break…..fingers crossed

Lost a load of skin at 60kph and broke his bike in 3 bits

That road rash makes me cringe... fckn painful.

Great ride from Jai.
Was really surprised to see the Pog not be able to go with Vingegaard on the climb
