A lumpy stage that the sprinter teams will be looking at but the start could help a good break get established and we might get an exciting ‘will they catch them will they not’ scenario’.
A good stage for the sprinters if they bring back the break though more difficult for the heavier riders and non climby types. I think the consensus will be for a bunch sprint but I wouldn’t be surprised if a break took it and maybe Jens was a day early in his tipping?
Here's your start list.
In this game, only the race results matter. You're not committed to keeping the same riders throughout the series, you make fresh picks before every race. Our overall competition is just the sum of individual race scores. You're eligible for the overall even if you miss some races.
Pick 4 riders for the upcoming race. The order of your picks doesn't matter. All of your riders can score.
Riders score points down to 10th place. Less popular riders score more points than heavily-picked favourites. See below for scoring details.
The strict entry deadline is the official start time of the race, the neutralized roll-out or Départ Fictif. Be warned - if your post is timestamped one minute late your entry won't count! So do remember that there's no disadvantage to getting an entry in early, even the day before, because you may always change your picks up until the deadline. Feel free to rethink your picks when it emerges which riders are more or less popular with other players. If you make changes, post your revised 4 picks in a reply to your original post.
The last 3 races will be secret entry between the top contenders… To avoid defensive picking.
When we say top contenders we leave the number open because who knows how many will be within striking distance...
We will notify you by email if we need you to do a secret entry.
Head over to the spreadsheet to check how you fared. Any issues, please email us on... WendyHellfreezes@over.com
