There is a password and neither of those works. Any others? I think it's listed somewhere...Quote:

I know Dee shared the basics above but still looking to understand it better (because I can't tell what is platform specific). Is this an accurate article for the "official" platform we're using? https://velo.outsideonline.com/news/...-fantasy-team/
Edit: it looks like Dee covered it well, I guess I'm just surprised I can't find the rules/scoring of the league on the website? Maybe I'm just used to the infrastructure of Fantasy Football.

Try searching (yeah, I know…) for the 2022 and 2023 TDF threads. PSW is likely in the first couple of posts
And yes, many people can draft the same rider. But no, we don’t use the Velogames platform
The rules for the Tissot platform are pretty well laid out on leTour website.

I think all the Teams are pretty much decided, and the game has everybody loaded in there. Even if a team makes a last minute rider change, you can change your guys as much as you need to before the race starts. Remember you have to have a full team 8 to get points. You cant your whole budget on just 5 superstars and leave 3 spots blank. (someone did this last year on day one).
Mrs DeeHubbs and I have a calendar meeting scheduled for Wednesday to discuss our picks.
Who's in? I'll make a list with TGR names vs Fantasy names so we know who we are playing against.
Shall we discuss the $ amount? I'm good with what ever we decide.

TBS is Directeur Sportif for Team Psylocybe
I’m finding conflicts in the announced startlists and the entries in the fantasy game
Two that jumped out at me that are both listed at 12 credits
- Dylan van Baerle who broke his clavicle at Dauphine
- Rafal Majka who isn’t on the UAE start list
same. I suspect there will be a bunch of notifications sent out shortly to have to select other team members. This happened earlier to me when they changed a rider's category.Quote:

Visma just announced that Sepp Kuss is not healthy enough to start the tour.Quote:

Sorry, Sepp, for speculating that you were gaming the Dauphiné ride
^^^Somebody should inform Tissot. They list 12 riders for each of those teams.
(not trying to sound like a hater, I pretty much love everything to do with the Tour) The team roster posters are so generic. I loved how stylized the Giro ones were this year.
To be fair the Team Roster Posters I've been posting are graphics produced by NBC Sports.Quote:

Are you looking for something like this:

Aww ok, thank you! Yep.
Do Pidcock & Van Aert have to assist their new “teammates” on Red Bull Bora Hansgrohe? Do they still get to wear special helmets?
And more importantly, has the Fantasy list updated yet?
Normally, I wouldn’t expect UAE to go try for a win on day 1 (just survive with high position to conserve & protect against early nervous peloton), but I’m thinking they want to seize the jersey and make life hard right out the gate — what are you guys thinking?
This tour layout & competitor list looks like it could be pretty combustible — hoping for some parity and turbulence to keep the GC interesting
Ineos do not allow Pidcock to wear his RedBull helmet in Road Races. He only wear it during MTB and Cyclocross events. Wout's Redbull contract/helmet use will not change with the Boras new sponsorship. The only other rider in the peloton who wears a Redbull helmet is Anton Palzer, who is on Bora, so that's a moot point.Quote:

You can still pick now, and if your rider gets bounced out, you can change for free before their start of the race.
Official Team presentation ceremony is on the 27th, so I'm assuming the Fantasy will be updated after that.
Apparently Tim Merlier isn't starting the tour... FYI. Still available on the app though.
I'm super stoked for this tour! May the temps be mild, roads dry, crashes few, legs strong. Godspeed the riders!
Same - I've been buzzing all week. Can not wait.
This was what it was like in my house this morning, Mrs DeeHubbs at the kitchen table….
EDIT: Looks like the rider list was just updated. only 176 riders (8/team x 22 team =176) are now listed.
I literally spit my coffee out while laughing at this Facebook post this morning:

Savage... Lol!
Riders who are not starting should have been marked "out" now and can be swapped out without spending credits.
ha
alright, peacock, take my money...!
speaking of which...is there agreement on the terms of this year's fantasy challenge?
I'm good with whatever we did last year, $20-25 to the pot for the big winner? Would be fun to do some "primes" with small payouts for biggest single day score or for the most stage wins etc.
Both Kat5 and DeeHubbs are in for $20 to the winner.
In for another $5 for Primes if people want. Primes can be:
1/2 of prime to the player with the highest single day points winner (excluding the last day totaling score).
1/2 of the prime to the players with the most stages won. (daily victory speech better be good).
Primes are great and all, but I only see 3 players in the TGR Maggots group…am I in the right one? (League 156?)
I’m looking on my phone & it’s utterly unclear. The number 3 with the little heads icon. I can’t click in to see the group members yet
ETA…Alright I see the list under Rankings (I’m that slow right now!)
If you have been signed up in the TGR league in previous years, you're automatically back in our TGR League.
If you want to sign up last minute its TGR (156) and the password is GAX
If you want to play in the league because its super fun, but not sure you want to pay/bet, PM me.
Your Team needs all 8 spots filled and don't forget to pick your daily captain.
You have until 4:00am Mountain Time.
We’re off!
Cav looks good
Does anyone who's got Peacock Premium Plus subscription know if they're providing the World broadcast this year? They had it last year on the Premium option but it's not there thisyear.

My research is telling me there is no world feed on Peacock this year. Wasted my money. I just got a VPN to try to watch the SBS Australia feed but that isn't working either, says I need to disable my ad block even after I uninstalled it.
