Cool. I was doing great in the Podium Cafe's one last year until Michael "Bovine Haemoglobin" Rasmussen got kicked out.

I see you can do a mini-league, which would allow us all to play against eachother.

Chips Lovell

You have been added to the league application queue, the administrator of the league will either accept or decline your request.

Please don't decline me!

Caroline_ie

Accepted!!!

Chips Lovell

Deadly. Picking my team now. The list isn't great. Some riders who aren't in the Tour are listed there and some who are riding aren't there.

TinyExplosions

My team is the Jolly Vivisectionists... bet I come last

"Pedro's Delgados", as in, they are my Delgados.
I had picked a great line up, then I realised that you have to pick an actual team too.

Caroline_ie

Pedros Delgados
Jolly Vivisectionists
Pedalling backwards
Los Super Guanches
Team Jacobs Fig Rolls

stuf

Z Thora Hird going for mid-table mediocrity if I'm lucky

c0rk3r

Sammy the sensible scientist was too long a name so had to go with "Sam ze sensible scientist " instead. Now to pick a team that wins

Sorry I think I cliked on the the wrong button and I denied Verbal
Diarrhoea ( I think )

Can you submitt your team again?? Thx

Gavin

A rapid entry team from someone that knows squat about racing. I made sure to pick the cheapest guy though, good value for money no doubt.

Verbal Diarrhoea

Gavin

Thanks Caroline, I've no clue but I'll give it a go!

TinyExplosions

A quick tip for you guys, check your riders are actually competing this year -had a quick look, and Verb's chosen Nick Roche, who's not riding the TdF

Use the link at the top of this thread to see who's on what team folks

You're far more sportsmanlike than I am. I noticed that too, but I wasn't sayin nothin.

You're so mean!

I looked at yours to see if my team was totally rubbish (it is), but was heartened to see you'd chosen HIgh Road as your team too

stuf

According to the official site, the starting riders are not confirmed yet

Edit: Eurosport website says riders will be confirmed saturday morning

Gavin

Goddamnit. More of my ignorance exposed. I've no idea who's in and who's not.

unionman

Hi Caroline,

I'm in, it's a quick pick 'cos I'm clueless...have to go and check if all my guys are actually racing.

Fans of 'The Wire' will understand the name.;)

17 teams signed up now!!

Chips Lovell

Few teams there I don't know who owns them, like the Cannondale Cannons? Perhaps the next time we update the list we should try and put the boards user names next to them.

If you're looking to me to me for guidance, then you really are screwed;) I thought High Road was relatively affordable, with plenty of potential for stage wins.

BUACHAILL

Rubberduckies is moi

That's why I chose them too, it's nice to see that someone with more knowledge thinks the same -I decided to go all maverick with Cunego as my main man, that should kill all chance I have

Answer from league support:

The mini league table do not show 'live' data the data displayed is cached every 24 hours. This happens at 2am everyday. If you still do not see these members in your team after this time then please get back in touch and we will investigate

Funkyzeit

I'm happy the way it is tbh...."Whose on Top of the League..."
