I'm in!

Also in the Women's Tour (I'm on my own in the MN league there), entries close 10 am tomorrow (Monday).

Greetings! Eddy took the honours yesterday - he seems to have been around for as long as bikes themselves.

Haven't caught up with yesterday's as yet - watched women's tour instead. I have Vos so got the stage winner for today! Not doing too wonderfully in the Dauphine though.

And Froome out with a fractured pelvis IF reports are to be believed.
Obvs Le Tour is in doubt innit.

In velo Dauphine I am 5300 out of 5500. Crumbs.

I heard broken femur. No doubt the exact nature of the injury will be confirmed later. Either way he's out of the Tour for sure.

In other news, I loved Sam Bennett's win yesterday Shamrock

Sorry didn't see thread in time for Velogames, but given my team's abysmal showing in the Giro it's probably just as well.

Oh no, poor Froomey. I guess that makes the question of who is the no. 1 rider for Ineos at the Tour more straightforward. I had wondered how they would play it with Froome and Thomas this year.

Sorry I didn't see the thread in time for Velogames.

Someone's co-oped my team into the MN Peloton! How/who did that??!!

Am languishing magnificently in last place....

I think you are automatically in the league each time you enter an event. Tour de Suisse now open.
I lost my rider Marianne Vos in the crash yesterday, hope they are all ok, it looked pretty bad (women's tour). I also have Froome - hope he is soon on the mend.

Chapeau to Caroline F (whosoever she/he may be) for the yellow jersey!
I came a creiditable third out of three. A rider called Stork from Sunweb scored me 3 pts so actually failed to deliver.....ha.

Froomey. Just what? I recall we used to wonder what he was doing looking down at his data thing so much, and so getting into minor (relatively) accidents, but this?
As a very minor consideration, I wonder if the insurance people will be arguing contributory negligence?

Thank you for the 'chapeau'!
I managed to do ok in the women's tour too, again with a lead rider crashing out.
Glad Stork got some points, I usually try to have a rider with a good name - Geoffrey Soupe has been a favourite previously.
Tour de Suisse jogging along ok, but I am on my own in the league for that Grin
Not sure if the Tour de France will be on velogames this year, there was some sort of to-do with it last year, and it's not showing on the calendar.
