League Name: Mumsnet Marauders
League Code: 159285217

I have joined the league again for the Giro.

I did quite badly on velogames in the classics but looking forward to the Giro highlights on Quest / the discovery app.

Also will be cool to see the Giro go through the Vatican at the end

Criterium du Dauphine highlights on ITV this week if anyone watching. Line up looks pretty goo. Women's tour of Britain last week was pretty good too. Nice TV at the moment!

Yep and I missed putting a team in for the Dauphinoise too. It's looking to be quite competitive!

I missed putting in a velogames team for the Dauphine too, but really enjoyed last night's highlights programme. A great field of riders and very entertaining!

UsernameChange1675 · 09/06/2025 17:31

Yes - just watched yesterday's highlights - really interesting!

Yep and I much prefer Ned and Dave's commentary to the Eurosport bunch.

UsernameChange1675 · 02/07/2025 18:55

Looking forward to the Tour de France! I have submitted a team!

Team is on my to do list. Having missed the Giro (which randomly started on a Friday) and the Dauphine (because I wasn't paying attention) team deadlines am determined to make it this time.
Question is - to Pog or not to Pog?

prettybird · 02/07/2025 21:03

I’ve done my first draft at a team, just to be sure I have one in Wink

I need to go back and consider it more carefully, especially now that Ineos have finally announced their team.

One of my non- optional choices is Sean Flynn (who will just be a domestic in PicnicPostNL) as he was always the one that ds cycled lost against in Scotland and they were friends. The other Scottish “talent” when he was racing (although a year younger than him) was Alfie George, but he hasn’t yet made it into the Grand Tours.

Has anyone the code for the Mumsnet league? It used to enrol me automatically but has not done so this time.

RNApolymerase · 02/07/2025 23:42

Or I could just try reading the OP of this thread I suppose.

Pan2 · 04/07/2025 19:30

Just entered the winning team in our league. 🤦🙄😂

prettybird · 04/07/2025 21:44

I have to admit my team is based more on head than heart plus I refuse to pick Pog Wink

I fully expect to win the Lanterne Rouge Grin

Callmecordelia · 05/07/2025 20:38

Just catching up with the days racing, and finally managed to get round to joining the league. I am a proud lanterne rouge!

Watching every minute of ITV4 I can - can't afford the hiked charges for TNT, and apparently there's no ad free stream anyway.

Pan2 · 05/07/2025 21:57

I’ve not seen the highlights as yet. I do know that I’ve lost Ganna to a crash! He doesn’t seem to be too damaged. Hey ho. I think I had him for the TT stages. But I could be delusional. Bike

RNApolymerase · 05/07/2025 23:03

Highlights not on til 11 tonight. So I just watched the last bit of the actual race on ITV player instead. Quest aren't doing the highlights show like they did for Giro.

Was reading this for next year:

Callmecordelia · 06/07/2025 07:18

I saw that. I was wondering if I could get a vpn and watch France Television in combination with NSF next year. It might work. My French is pretty good, I might have to brush up on some cycling related vocab.

Would be good for DCs gcse French as they're as obsessed as I am.

RNApolymerase · 06/07/2025 09:13

I also saw an add on Facebook for the TNT coverage - people who paid up £££ for the service are pretty miffed that there are still lots of ads.
I mean, there are ads on ITV (sad donkeys anyone?) but that's kind of what you expect from ITV.

Pan2 · 07/07/2025 16:14

So I’ve got rid of ganna on day 1 and now Phillipsen.

all my others will be looking nervous. Bike

prettybird · 10/07/2025 22:01

Well, I’m not quite the lanterne rouge but I’m getting there - 12th out of 14. Grin

My “head over heart” picks of Sean Flynn and Geraint are not delivering Hmm - and Vingegaard’s nightmare for him time trail yesterday really did for me.

Still, having a team adds to the fun of watching Smile

Pan2 · 14/07/2025 19:46

No prettybird, I’ve managed to beat you to the lantern rouge. Yay!!!

prettybird · 16/07/2025 21:37

I’m barely staying above you - Wouty Wout Wout’s efforts today made not difference as he’s in your team too Grin Bike

prettybird · 17/07/2025 22:47

I’ve finally achieved the lanterne rouge Grin

Pan2 · 19/07/2025 14:08

I’m obviously doing a last week podium charge up the table….
