Road Bike Racing - It's Back:TDF Performance Fantasy League

Remember this from last year? it's back.

reminder: if you make a team, have it begin with "bf" so we can see how everyone is doing with a search. for example, mine would be "bf - fly:yes/land:no"

you fools are going down this year...

ZABEL Erik ($900.00)
CUNEGO Damiano ($700.00)
MILLAR David ($600.00)

DEAN Julian ($300.00)
DEVOLDER Stijn ($200.00)
SCHLECK Andy ($300.00)
KIRCHEN Kim ($350.00)

How is it scored? Just GC, or do stage wins, jerseys other than yellow count?

figured out the scoring and drafted a team. I'll post the roster after entries close.

iirc, stage wins seem to be the big point getter. i can't seem to find it on there, but here goes completely from memory:

stage points: 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1
if you ever get yellow: 5
overall points(final): 25-20-15-10-5
mountains points(final): 15-10-5
sprint points(final): 15-10-5

i'm sure its on there somewhere. for reference, last year:

Tom boonen: 185
alberto contador: 168

(see this (http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=326763) for more final standings.)

EVANS Cadel (SILENCE-LOTTO) - 950
VALVERDE Alejandro (CAISSE D'EPARGNE) - 900
MENCHOV Denis (RABOBANK) - 700
RICCO Riccardo (SAUNIER DUVAL ) - 450
STEEGMANS Gert (QUICK STEP ) - 200
DEVOLDER Stijn (QUICK STEP) - 200
CHAVANEL Sebastien (FRANCAISE DES JEUX) - 200
CIOLEK Gerald (TEAM COLUMBIA) - 200
SANCHEZ Samuel (EUSKALTEL - EUSKADI ) - 200

Looking at your all's rosters I decided I had to dump Will Frishkorn (who rode on my former team) and take Devolder for the same salary.

I'll stil be rooting for a former Go Mart rider in the TDF though.

ryanf has entered, AND he is using the bf prefix.

VALVERDE Alejandro ($900.00)

STEEGMANS Gert ($200.00)
DE JONGH Steven ($200.00)

I made the team before knowing I was supposed to put "bf" in the name. Oh well. Heck, I didn't even check to see if all of these guys were racing the Tour this year. I'm pretty sure about most except Fothen and Soler.
