    Loads of people on Twitter seeing the same mini league errors.

    Is there a boards mini league at all?

    Where's the little stage by stage breakdown of points? On my phone but all I can see is the total in the leagues

    Had Kittel, wasn't sure though cos when picking the team i kept switching between him and Sagan. Couldn't log in after the race was over.

    Not showing any mini league though, pretty sure I joined the boards one.

    Site was knackered earlier. I'm sure you can still join a league even though the race has started.

    My team is Ride It Like You Doped It. Completely forgot to my the final changes to my team so very lucky with who I ended up having on it! Very surprised to be 5th in the boards league at the moment - I'm expecting the slide downwards to start tomorrow, and continue right through 'til July 27th...

    Quick bump to remind people that the King Of The Mountains competition entry date closes before tomorrows (Mon 14th)stage starts.
    Slightly different format to the main competition as you have up to ten rider transfers over the course of the six stages that count towards this game.
    Only 23 entries in the Boards.ie league so far.

    I don't really get the KOM competition...I picked 9 riders but then you have to select only 5 for each stage? It says you need to do this before 12 today but I don't see any option to select the 5 to race?

    Also can't believe i'm 27th of 113 in the boards league...still plenty of time to slip back!

    ok...I was sure I saw something about how they only pick 5 riders a day, but there is no reference to it anywhere on the site.

    carry on...

    I'd say quite a few are down to eight after yesterday. I know I am.

    Damn, one of my unclassified riders was having a great day.
    Looked like gathering a few extra points for the team.
    All that went out the window mid stage and now I'm down to 7 riders.:(

    81 of 116, only had 5 riders since the beginning of the 2nd week.

    Congrats to Bionic Dude who won by a whopping 1500 points, finishing 24th overall as well!!

    I finished 28th out of 166 in the Boards league. I'm pretty satisfied with that considering I had Cav and Contador.

    Sagan earned the most points for my team (2nd highest behind Nibali in the whole peloton), and Valverde scored a solid amount as was to be expected (9th highest scoring rider). Thibaut Pinot was a great selection as he was very cheap, but ended up as the 6th highest scoring rider in the peloton. My domestiques didn't make any impact.

    Peter Sagan 1511
    Thibaut Pinot 887
    Alejandro Valverde 765
    Laurens Ten Dam 339
    Alberto Contador 215
    Vladimir Isaychev 30
    Jerome Pineau 28
    Xabier Zandio 24
    Mark Cavendish 4
