Should I add Movistar to my top 3 and eliminate another favourite?

Hmmm...... :blink:

Of course you should, Movistar has the coolest bikes in the peloton ... & the coolest name too!
The difference between winning and losing is most often ... not quitting!

i know you have done lots of effort with this.
Just a quick question.
Would it not be easier to create a group on the Fantasy TDF league on Bicycling magazine's website and then everyone just use the group code to join?
Would be less admin for the person trying to update scores etc...
Just saying or well asking

My team has been submitted!!! Frosty, you said you're sponsoring an ipad as a prize? or was it a playbook? Don't worry, I'm not picky! :lol:

Had some tough choices, but I think I've made the right ones. Apologies to all the riders that have been left out of this prestigious team. :P

One of Frosty's conditions - makes me giggle...

If you loose a rider during the Tour (injury, doping, retiring, missed cut off, etc.), sorry for you

Don't forget to submit your team (9 riders and 3 teams) before Saturday at 12:00
Make sure your team is made up of official rider's list found on the Tour's Official website (http://www.letour.fr...us/engages.html)

The list on page 1 is PROVISIONAL at this stage and will probably change before Saturday.

I'll be out of town between Thursday and Saturday - off the grid including cell phone signal - at a work getaway (budgets for 2012) but any team received before the cutoff WILL BE INCLUDED in the competition

Why would you pick a rider that's only marginally out of a coma, and for sure isn't riding the Tour?

Admin is already done - updating the spreadsheet is about 2 minutes work, and then I post a PDF copy after each stage (perhaps this year on a couch)

Check the tour's official website (http://www.letour.fr...us/engages.html) between now and Saturday as riders are replaced at the very last minute. Substitutions are allowed right up to 12:00 on Saturday.
