Tour De France 2011

If anyone wants to compete again this year in the Road.cc fantasy league, this is the LFGSS group code: 6683.

This year they are also doing all the classics, plus there are few prizes to be won along the way.

In.

me too. a bit confused about the transfers though... only 2 of my riders are showing as available for the next race ;(

I couldn't be bothered to work it out so have picked 9 people and will have a look how they've done at season end.

can't wait for alpe d'huez this year

i am hoping to be roadside for alpe d'huez and galibier at the tour this year.

What's considered the Queen stage this year?

:-)

It's got to be the summit finish on the Galibier, no? The Agnelo, the Izoard and then the Galibier.

Is what I thought.. The July 22nd stage 19 will probably be a damp squib. Big hill's but you'd hope that whoever is in yellow they would have sown it up by then.

Cross post of TV coverage for all y'all
