I suspect I will soon be drifting down the list, what with my brilliant pick of Denis Menchov. Not that he can't turn things around, but I'm not betting the farm on it.

I predict you'll still be in the top half, Suzie.

I had Denis in my original team but, fortunately, dumped him after the TT. He was one of my picks for the podium and outside bet for the MJ. However, now I am picking him as an outside bet for the Lantern Rouge!!

Seriously, I hope he does well in the mountains.

I made a prediction that he would bail out before the tour is over. I hope not, but it doesn't look good for him after his effort in the Giro!

"Dumped him..."?
You mean we can make changes?

Only through the first 4 stages. The teams were all locked down at the start of Stage 5.

It is stated in the paragraph at the top of the View/Set Lineup page. It is also, probably, in the Official Rules somewhere.

Begin selecting your fantasy team by clicking on the "add" link next to the rider's name you want to add from the list below. You have a $500 dollar budget. Once you've selected 15 players, your roster is full and valid. Remember, Stage 1-4 is the Practice Phase. Once Stage 5 starts, your score will be reset to zero and your roster locked as the Official Race Phase Begins. You will still be able to modify your starters and bench for each stage. For Scoring and Prize info Click Here and full details of the game, see Official Rules

Fantasy points earned in prior stages will not be restructured following the expulsion of any riders from the race.

I think you're confusing this competition with the Versus one.

It wouldn't be the first time I was confused. Yes you are correct.

Final Results
1 imarshad 91 (wins tie breaker)
2 Choppered 91
3 xfimpg 72
4 Hocker 71
5 laryan 68
6henry 64
7 ooga-booga 64
8 SuzieGreen 61
9 Boleyn 57
10 Eljimberino 54
11SecondMouse 51
12 PowerPuff 48

By virtue of tie breaker, imarshed wins. Nice job! Picking Cancellara for yellow was brilliant, I can't believe I didn't do that and Schleck for white jersey.

PowerPuff gets Lanterne Rouge .

I have a couple of changes in mind for next time. One or two rider changes on rest days, most compative, two points per day in white, green as opposed to 1 point, any others??
