We're all going to Benidorm!!!!

Team entered in the league. Thanks for the heads-up felicity lemon

You know when it says "hilly"........

Velogames won't let me log in (again) despite me having my username and password saved. Rotters.

@DoctorTwo I had that issue last year. I solved it by not using the pop up box which I found sort of froze on me and I found I could that clicking through to any another page would mysteriously log me in!

@MrPan You know when it says "hilly"........
That means it not actually a cliff face ... it'll be interesting to see which sprinters make it through. Glad we are not having a flat week to start.

I'll be missing the first three days because it's Frightfest and I'll be watching horror films for 5 days and after 14 hours a day in the cinema I don't have the ability to watch highlights, so my Vuelta starts on the Tuesday.

Thank you Felicity! I'll construct my team soon...

Thank you Felicity. Can't believe we're here already. Well I'm not 'here' yet as I'm on holiday and the wifi is hopeless but I will do my utmost to sort a team before Saturday. I'm aiming for bottom 100 this time.

Thank you for starting this, @FelicityLemon!

Thanks Felicity, will try & sort a team, but will be away from home with rubbish wifi for the next few days.

I have picked my team. Given how well my Tour team did, I apologise in advance for jinxing this lot!

Thanks so much for setting this up! Looking forward to watching this years race. I think I even prefer this to the TDF.

I'm in. Thank you for setting up the league. I can't believe it's time for the Vuelta already...

I'm in! Very happy that velogames is back for this one!

I'm in too. Thank you Felicity. Looking forward to it!

I have entered the first team that came to 100 points as the wifi is a bit rubbish on holiday and I just wanted to get a team in!

Have entered a team.

This will be either a. the winners riding into the sunrise, or b. joining Losty for a race to the bottom.........

"...or b. joining Losty for a race to the bottom........."

And me and my lot, @MrPan - don't forget me!!!

"It's tough at the top."

not as tough as at the bottom, matey. esp in our peloton...

Roglic
Fuglsang
Quintana
Chaves
Bennet
DeGent
Gilbert
Venker
Owen

Drop your swords. And tyre levers.

Fuglsang or Hart? Was going to change to Hart, but theory is the Fuglsang will feel thre is unfinished business from his end of Le Tour and have an added impetus......

Is this the best timeliness-prepared tour in MN velo history? 10 teams completed and submitted 3 days prior to the Grande Departe. Felicity you've whipped us into shape.....

@MrPan
all we needed was a Directeur Sportif with an iron fist!

No velvet glove, then. That's for fannies. Straight to the iron fist.

Should we talk about horror films, and how they can impact on people's psyches?

I've just read that Carapaz won't be starting due to injury - quick adjustment of team needed!
