I've put this link on the 'Road General' forum but haven't got a great deal of interest.
Thought I might try and 'whip' up some interest in here.

Any takers? should make things a bit more interesting.

I've joined the Halfords Fantasy Tour de France Game at

    I've joined. Already had a team in a league with some mates. Looks like there are no points for GC this year, only stages. Have I got this right?

    No GC, Just stage wins and places by the looks of things.
  • Hi Guys

    I've emailed Halfords and there is no GC points at the end of the tour this year much to my surprise....here is their official repsonse below:-

    Hi there,

    No, there are no points gained for final positions this year. Points are scored based on the performances of your riders per stage.

    Regards,
    Support Team

    Quite a strange decision not to give points for GC.
    all pending registrations now been approved.
    We've got a league of about 20 now.
  • Ooh, can I join please?

    Created my team about a week ago and haven't really looked at it since. Although there's no points for GC, you do get points if your riders are in the Yellow or Green jerseys- so Wiggins and/or Evans may be worthwhile choices. (Apparently, KoM doesn't score anything though- not sure what the logic is there...)

    I'm in too - Francais des Janes, let the battle commence!

    FYI Jon Sharples at TrainSharp (Sean Yates is a partner in the business I think) is running a min league as well and he's giving away a set of O'Symetric rings to the winner - get details by liking his Facebook page: facebook.com/trainsharp.

    We have over 50 competitors now and deadline for new teams is only a few hours away.
    I will not have access to a computer for the weekend as my 3 year old son has broken the screen on my laptop!
    I finish work at 4 and will check any new applicants just before then but if you submit after this time you will miss out on the first 2 or 3 stages. sorry about that.
    Good luck everybody.

    It's up. I had a poor start thanks to Sagan and Martins problems ( and my poor choices!).

    I'm in yellow! :D . . Thanks to my team of 'testers' and playing my bonus stage - though despite the antics of Martin & Sagan and disappointing rides from Larsson & Rogers.
