Thanks, shall have a look a bit later.

They aren't getting banned as one of the positives was a re-test of a 2012 sample and falls outside the current rules. The guy will be banned but the team wont

First timer here think I've done it right... why couldn't I select Aru as a GC rider could only select him as a climber?

Actually feel like a kid again roll on Saturday!

I think if they're crap at Time Trials they get thrown in as climbers rather than all-rounders, but it does seem a bit arbitrary sometimes

My Rouleurs are in

Tough picking a team mind.... the route is all topsy turvy.

Lots of summit finishes in the first two weeks and flater in the third....?

My team's in - generally chosen by leaving out those who I'd like to see do well and including those I'm not arsed about putting the commentator's curse on...

Fifth in the STW league (2100 overall) despite losing Nibbles, that's OK for my first ever fantasy league entry. At one point I had dreams of glory then I remembered I have Chavanel, not Chavez. Still got DuMoulin, Martin and Froome in the top ten. Looking firsts to the next three weeks, then it's the Tour Of Britain

I thought I'd take a risk and put my faith in Nibbles. Whoops.

Shambolic from me, total opposite fortunes to the tour.

Nice one Nibbles 🙁

Anyone else notice that they've replaced the mtb helmet with a road one behind David? And one down so far 🙁

I'm not saying I'm totally responsible for getting nibbles thrown off the vuelta but putting a couple of quid on him to win and sticking him in my fantasy team does appear to have had some effect!

Dropping like flies! What a day for carnage. Looked awful out there, far too many riders forced to retire and what a farce with Sagan getting knocked off by a motorbike

On a more personal note. I've now lost three of the biggest names in my team: Nibbles, Dan Martin and Bouhanni all out 🙁
