It is nearly time, I have created a league on [url= http://www.velogames.com/ ]Velogames[/url]
Create you team then enter the league, the name is:
STW Fantasy TdF 2014
and the League Code: 28182017
Lets see who can create the winning squad this year.
great idea, I'll look into this.
Are wiggins and kreuziger available?
Great idea, shall check it out.
kreuziger
Oh dear, yet another Riis rider 😕
Good stuff, I'm in. A somewhat sentimental team selection but hell, why not.
Cheers hig, am in too
Price cap seems to be more suited to BMC's budget than FDJ's, which is a bit of a pity.
Was Kreuziger riding for Riis two years ago? Massive boost to Sky anyway.
Slow & Fat are in!
13 teams in so far.
Millar out so time for a quick change in team already.
Building my team. No decent success since 2011...
arhh team change needed!
28 teams in the league now, keep them coming and also check out this:

I'm in
But don't forget Road.CC fantasy game ... it's a bit more involving... with daily subs.
There's an STW league on there as well.
I tend to forget about the velogames league... who won the Giro league this year ?? ... Can we see how the table ended up ??
Edit ... found it .... http://www.velogames.com/giro-ditalia/2014/leaguescores.php?league=7145755

Ah, no, even worse, Astana!
Arrh, cr@p, another change thanks to OGE's omission of last years leader Impey!
I'm in. I wonder if I'll get anywhere near the top half of the league this time 😀
45 teams in the league now, the riders have been fixed and those not riding have been listed as inactive. You now have until 1230CET on Saturday 5th Jul to revisit your team and make substitutions, after that, that is your team for the duration!
I'm in too. Really excited for Saturday - route goes through my parents' village so heading up tomorrow.
I can't loose.
I have Jack Bauer on my team.
lol @whatnobeer's team name
Thought long and hard on that one 😀
There's a few great ones in there, "David Millars mum isnt happy" and "Pataks Immodium Procycling" made me chuckle.
Bump, 60 teams entered so far, keep them coming.
Team "les escargots rapide" is in,,, bonne chance!!
Job of work and a suitcase of courage are good to go!
I also lol'd at whatnobeer's team name, marvellous!
Jinkers are in.
I'm in!!
Don't you love last minute tinkering !?!
Fabulous Fab has been cut
Entered as Seadog Racing...
I know nothing about road racing, apart from a couple of names. My team selection was pretty much random.
Im in too 😀
Similar random name selection based on passing interest and whether or not they sounded like they can last the distance. 😀
I'm always shit at this as I just choose people I like!
It's not the winning...
SouthernCiderRiders will be weaving randomly across the road. And we don't do hills!
Spin to Win team entered.
Excellent, I'm in, Go team Lampshade
I'm in as Shut up legs!. Jens Voigt won't score me any points (probably) but I couldn't leave him out with that team name.
I've got Jens Voigt in my team also, I think a lot of people probably have out of sentimentality. Unless you happen to be Uncle Dave.
Signed up,so that's the kiss of death for the poor unfortunates in team Nomads
I'm in, just before the broom wagon swept me up!
110 teams in now, not very long to make changes, 1230CET and then that is it for the duration. Good luck all.
So the scoring range from today is between first place with 533 points and last with 4.
Congrats to The Shirt Stains, DS Martin
Stage 2 honors go to Lampshade with DS Alan on 482 points.
Overall Lampshade is also leading with 865 points
I was rather hoping, having not really read /understood the scoring system, that a stage win would propel Team Codpiece to at least the top quarter of the table, clearly not and now I'm a rider down 🙁
I'm in a world of trouble. With Cav out and the rest of my 'possibles' not having turned up to ride it seems, I'm struggling and propping up the bottom section of the table.
Wow, I got a stage win and the yellow jersey!
I wonder how long it will last?
Anyway, after watching on the Woodhead road yesterday, what a great way to finish the day.
Good luck to everyone else in the league, should be a great few weeks entertainment.
No stage win, but five of my team (NPFS) were up there contesting honors! Today should be tame by comparison, but hoping for the win.
I was screaming at the telly yesterday for Nibbles to win as he's on my fantasy team. It makes it so much more involving 😀
My crap team selected to be the worst....is doing better than my proper team 😳
Any swops?
I've Gripel stand a better chance with Cav
Stage 3 honors go to Rusty Bolts, DS Rusty Mac with 455 points.
Alan's Team Lampshade continue to lead the overall with 1260 points.
Can't win the (fantasy) TdF in the first week 😉 . You can lose it though.
My crap team selected to be the worst....is doing better than my proper team
Impressive!
See stage 3 summary for stage 4.
Rusty Bolts wins the day, Lampshade holds the overall lead
rolfscartoonclub continuing their slide down the table 🙁
Where has it all gone wrong? I'm not actually sure I have any riders in the race!
A brilliant stage 5: results. Honors to David Millars mum isn't happy , DS Mussed with 637 points.
Alan's team Lampshade is opening up a real lead now with 2187 points overall
Stage 6, and the other German sprinter wakes up at last.
Stage honors to Legionaires, DS Legion, with 352 points.
Overall, business as usual, with Lampshade, DS Alan on 2394 points.
Lampshade 15th overall! Be able to stay top of the STW league once we get to the mountains?
stage 7 honors, Durham Dynamos, DS Rich Harper with 340 points.
overall, well you know that already
Anyone entered a mountain team?
Just seen we are getting updates for daily winners. And I got day 3 woop woop. My team has now dragged it's self up into the top 10. Don't see me being in there for too much longer the guys I picked for the mountains are not looking too good right now.
Second in today's stage for Chefs choice, now sitting ninth overall. Hoping Nibbles, Valverde, Bardet, and Dam can doing something in the hilly stages. Although I've a gut feeling that I should have gone with Roche.
Pity Frank has left the tour as his form was excellent coming into it.
Closed in 60 points today on the leader. Still have 5/8 in GC. I think Sep was a good choice but his points are now spent. Will be cheering for Valverde, it's his time! You should have gone with Kwiatkowski 😉
NPFS Mountain team to follow...
I'm further from last than I was, but a long long way from 1st. I'm hoping a few above me have picked froome.
I picked Froome and at the last moment decided to swap Nibbles for Cavendish. I'm not confident.
Looks like you have to get down to 29th position, and Junkyard's Journeymen to find a team without Sagan! He has twice as many points as my whole team 😳
Damn choosing people I want to do well, not ones I actually think will!
Not sure how I'm still managing to maintain the lead. Maybe the mountains will sort them out. Still got the full 9 at the moment, so making steady progress.
right, a hilly stage 8. Honors to Pataks Immodium Procycling, DS Matthew Stewart, on 402 points.
overall, well fatigue might be setting in as Lampshades lead is narrowing, 2873 points to second place No Place for Sentimentality on 2610 points.
TT'ing into stage 9, team RadiBier, DS McGuff stole away and held off the rest with 399 points.
Overall Team Lampshade are stubbornly in the lead with 2976 points.
Heading into the rest day, Team Moopi won the stage, DS Simon Abbot, with 539 points.
Alan's team Lampshade still retains the overall with 3236 points, with 500 points separating the top 10
Stage 11 honors go to SouthernCiderRiders, DS 40mpg, with 267 points.
Overall Lampshade are still holding on to the lead.
FFS, Sagan has more than my team!
my "losers" are beating my supposedly proper team, too. Nibali - who'd have thought (I was expecting the bigger boys to have taken his dinner money long ago)
stage 12 and the seemingly unstoppable team Lampshade romp away with the stage with 308 points.
A steep ending to stage 13. Today's honors go to Chefs Choice, DS, err cough cough, The Swedish Chef, with 525 points.
Overall Alan's team Lampshade is still top of the pile.
well this is getting a little embarrassing.
stage 14 honors go to Chefs Choice, DS Swedish Chef with 430 points.
and the overall lead now moves to the shoulders of Swedish Chef too.
Well done, I'm finding the KOM competition pretty interesting though... 🙂
Oh and the RoadCC one.
stage 15, the breakaway almost held on.
Honors to, well the same as yesterday actually. Chefs Choice with 311 points.
Chefs Choice also retains the overall with 4595 points, with the top 10 all over 4000 points.
stage 16, no rainbows today.
Honors to Nomads, DS Stuart Gibson with 382 points.
No change in the overall with Chefs Choice out in front with 4700 points
Stage 17, short, steep, decisive?
Honors to Chefs Choice, DS Swedish Chef, with 441 points.
Overall Chefs Choice is still there with 5141 points
Spotty T-shirt!!! Woohoo!!!! 😀 8)
May I be the first to congratulate myself, I'll take any win and the STW Fantasy KOM will do.
I'd like to thank my team, my agent and the allowance of mid-competition transfers 😉 😀
Its been fun 8)
Stage 18, only 2 hills, what's that all about?
Honors to whippers nappers DS whippersnappers, with a massive 543 points.
Overall Chefs Choice is still there with 558 points.
stage 19, missed it so no summary
honors to **** World Racing, DS Paddy Atkinson, with 208 points. the lowest number of points for a stage win?
overall, business as usual for Chefs Choice
