First attempt at a team submitted. Will probably adjust it! Grin Bike

FFSWherearemyglasses · 25/06/2024 17:56

Kuss out 🥺

Sad I've already had to change my team to substitute him.

But the substitute was "cheaper" so I was able to trade up on another rider Wink

My current dilemma is whether Thomas as a domestique for 10 points is worth it!

I had him in my team but I've adjusted and at the moment realised I don't for the first time for years have a single Ineos Grenadier in my team! Shock

I do have the other Gee in my team Wink

FFSWherearemyglasses · 28/06/2024 18:41

did a bit of costly swapping about last night to include Juan Ayuso … still time to review 🤔😬

Beninthesortingoffice · 28/06/2024 19:48

Aaaarghhhhh and I spent all my money on Pogacar and apparently he had covid recently ... Not changing - just aaarghhh!

Hey! 15 teams so far and there's still 14 hours left.

We have no Felicity Lemon. 😱

prettybird · 28/06/2024 22:08

@FelicityLemon - not seen you around Sad Hope you're able to enter a team Smile Bike

I’ve had to amend to accommodate G 🤔
Can you imagine if he does a lead out for Cav again 🤩🙌🏻💪🏻

FelicityLemon · 29/06/2024 07:35

@Pan2 @prettybird
thanks for the heads up. Life somewhat got in the way but I have a team in!

Pan2 · 29/06/2024 08:56

Yay.

The world makes more sense now. 😀

Pan2 · 29/06/2024 08:58

Going to do some swopsies. I've started with the big 2 but this feels a bit obvious and safe and a bit boring. They are both going to go - no MN yellow jersey for me, then!!

Pan2 · 29/06/2024 09:24

Seems odd that Roglic is only on 20 credits cost and so far off TP and Vingegaard. So he's in.

prettybird · 29/06/2024 09:33

I've blown my budget on Roglic & Vingegaard but have put in a random UAE domestique so that if Pog does win anything, at least I'll get some "Assist" points.

Cav is in there for purely hopeful sentimental reasons Grin

Pan2 · 29/06/2024 09:58

Looks like the presentation is in the Bobili Gardens. Overlooking the Duomo. Has anyone else been to Florence? No want to return!

prettybird · 29/06/2024 10:13

I went to Florence over 40 years ago (BlushShock) when I was inter-railing with my best friend.

Unfortunately, we'd spent the previous three days in Rome, including a day going around the Vatican Museums, so by the time we got to Florence we were museumed out Hmm

I distinctly remember us looking inside the Duomo and thinking "Meh" and then going round the Uffizi Galleries, standing in front of Botticelli's "Venus Rising" and sighing, "Oh, another Botticelli. It's ok I suppose, nothing special...." Confused

I really should go back Grin

Pan2 · 29/06/2024 10:17

Ha ha ha...

We didn't go into the Duomo or the Ufizzi due to the massive queues that looked they would be there all day.

The streets around the cathedral are works of art themselves. Bobili garden is beautiful.

Definitely a return journey required.

Plasmodesmata · 29/06/2024 13:38

I actually can't watch already.
Going to do something else instead and catch up on highlights.

MrsAvocet · 29/06/2024 17:25

I forgot to do a time. But wow...what a stage.. I was on my feet yelling "stop looking behind you and pedal!" like some kind of maniac.😂

Beninthesortingoffice · 29/06/2024 19:56

Just finished watching the highlights - it was really good!

OP posts:
prettybird · 29/06/2024 20:25

That was exciting - and worrying Wink - to watch live Grin

I "dropped" Bardet from the team I'd had for the Giro Hmm At least I had Wout Smile Impressive showing!

Should be an exciting Tour Grin Bike

Ds tells me that his claim to fame is being lapped by both Tom Pidcock and Fred Wright on multiple events at the North West Youth Tour Shock. He knows that they are a year older than him as they were 2nd year Youth B while he was 1st Year Youth B (and it was his first even multi-day, UK wide event).

Pan2 · 29/06/2024 21:40

I drafted in Bardet after dropping TP and Vinny this morning. Good for today.
Got the official mag this afternoon too. Adds to the annual collection. Confused

Yes I want a return, missing so much when I was there before. But just wandering the streets and gardens was a real pleasure.
