That time of year again.

Bonne chance!

this is me atm. Gone for breakaways and placements. More of a diesel setup than petrol

This is mine, spread the field a bit. Considered not picking Pogacar just to be different but can't see past him for the GC. Bardet usually is somewhere there or there abouts in the first couple of weeks in stages. Can't see vinegaard being on top form so think jorgenson will be given some license to go for stage wins. Can see armirail going for the first stage win given the hilly profile.

This way PH can have a league of all of the above.

I'm in too - similarly can't see far past Pogacar taking it to the others for "fun".

I’m in, I’ll sort my squad shortly.

This year I’ll have the added advantage of having “feet on the ground” as I’m heading over to watch four stages of the first week.

My itinerary starts with Stage 4, where I’ll be somewhere on the Galibier.

Next up is Stage 7, the ITT (I’m staying in the start village), then Stage 8 (I’m staying in the finish town) & finally Stage 9.

If you see a fat guy on a black Brompton in the background that’ll be me.

Selected my squad this morning. I was surprised how cheap Cav was. Clearly I’m more optimistic about his chances than league organisers.

There has been a long running PHUK fantasy league already set up….

Joined up new one also, but this one is running also should you wish to join. Captures other long term PHers who haven’t joined this league.

Can always cross reference scores.

Going to try and not agonize over the fantasy choices as much as previous years. Quiz was a flop in terms of bonuses. Looking at the scores, realized people must be logging as one entry, getting the answers and then logging as their main effort with answers in hand ready for max scores.

I want to believe also, but taking up slot as a sprinter choice is hard for the league. Other options use more credit, but might pay off more. There hasn’t been a great run of success on the lead up.

I hope I come to regret my decision and he smashes the sprints!

Great stage…. But not a good start to fantasy TdF.

Had absolutely amazing first few days last year. Let’s hope things pick up!

Now you know why. He may miss the cut before long with this years first few stages.

Think it was illness rather than actual form. Cycling and vomiting at the same time!

Hopefully can recover, but it isn’t the best way to start.

OK. I'm in for a Stage 4 start. I was away until Sunday evening so the first couple of stages passed me by, and by the time I got organised and got my password reset it was too late to play for Stage 3 today.

I've gone "top heavy" with big hitters, and sacrificed the quality of my lower order riders. I don't expect to do very well, but it's a bit of fun to add to watching the race on the telly...
