I don't think Cofidis are "new", they've been around for many years... one of the French domestic teams who don't compete regularly on the top level tour I guess.

yes forestfan, Confidis do have 'form' in the past 20 years or so; it is the sponsors who change on a fairly regular basis. Not a lot of lookers on the thread so far. Would you like to kick things off with your select 6 ? It looks as if Mark Cavendish will start for

Sorry, being thick here.

Do you mean the leader of each category gets a point each day? (Be wary the leader doesn't always wear it if he leads 2 or more categories.) Also there are only 4 actual jerseys. Also a team contest, (no jerseys) and a daily combativity award (no jersey or leader).

FOR CLARIFICATION ( and hopefully to encourage some entries)

At the end of each stage under CLASSIFICATIONS Google shows pictures of either 6 or 7 riders who it classes as the Jersey holders. One point is scored for each picture. Just look at the review of the 2016 event.

All 198 of them looked fit and well by the bank of the Rhine yesterday evening for the Eurosport presentation.

Hi Theo,

Just to confirm then. If Chris Froome wins Stage One - Do you get points if you have picked Team Sky. Team Sky won't have the Yellow Jersey, Chris Froome will.

Individual names do not come into it. If the team name is on the Google CLASSIFICATION Jersey winners list 2017 it scores a point. Who knows quite what they will show for each stage. Just go by their 3 letter identification.

If you are referring to the official Letour site: http://www.letour.com/le-tour/2017/us/c ... tions.html it only shows 4 jerseys. The team classification (yellow numbers) is an ongoing thing like a jersey so should progress each day allowing a point per day but the red number thing is an individual award given out most days (not TT days??) for that day's most combative performance alone - not cumulative on points/times like the rest. Sagan won a version of that awarded as an overall thing at the end.

Have to get things right, I speak from years of running comps and hearing squabbles!!!

murf, thanks for the entry and expert comment. It's Saturday with just a few hours to go. so there may still be a few late entries. We have 14 teams chosen by 7 players. Just before 1415hrs I will ensure that every team has a supporter somewhere during the 3 weeks of the race. Does the word Potter ring a bell ? Regarding the scoring: I will publish it after each stage after I have seen what the Google official site lists. ( we can then have a friendly squabble to add to the fun)

Come on FISO bring it up to 10 starters and I will guarantee a cash prize !

Ashers, I am poised ready to pounce at 1410hours. Gregs Eggs has kindly claimed 3 without any other followers leaving Direct Dimensions,Lotto Sunweb UAE and FPI lonely (at the moment) My cunning Potter plan to reach 10 entrants may not be needed. There is still a couple of hours to go......anything can happen ! Jawohl

We have departed grandly!

(I thought the TdF departed at 3pm so my Potter free, cunning Baldrick plan to investigate who was favourite for the white jersey and tweak my team accordingly has hit a brick wall).

EDIT - it is Meintjes (UAE) v Yates (Orica-Scott) again

Yates by a mile.

Froome
Sagan
Rolland/Majka/Pinot
Yates
Movistar

Polka dot the hardest to predict, but whomever hoovers up the points on stage 9 will have it half in the bag.

so a few minutes late Muddy entry gives us 11 players. I will leave the Potter Proxy in just to see how it does. The murf is fallible timewise and it is peeing down in Dusseldorf. Have not seen any fallers so far but still a couple of hours before CF sets off. Time for another wurst und bier.

An unexpected Brit in yellow as Geraint Thomas wins the prologue.

Valverde the major casualty of the wet conditions, big blow for Movistar and Quintana.

Big loss and also a shame to not get to see him stab Nairo in the back, but Izagirre the bigger loss I'd say, he was Bahrains team leader.

Horrible crashes for Gallopin and Bennett too.
