Re: TOUR DE FRANCE 2021. Recruiting thread.
17 days to go, 10 teams still managerless. I will hold off throwing in any more totally innocent 'newbies'until 16th June so that a small group of sleepy Giro managers can catch up. One still on offer is BORA H.

Re: TOUR DE FRANCE 2021. Recruiting thread.
there will only be 3 'newbies' involved in the race so the remaining 8 teams. BORA H, COFIDIS, EF EDUCATION. BIKEEXCHANGE, SEGAFREDO. ALPECIN, ARKEA-SAMSIC & TOTAL DIRECT ENERGIE will be pressed unless a few of you show a little initiative by the 16th. Cycling knowledge is not required !

Re: TOUR DE FRANCE 2021. Recruiting thread.
3 of these teams will be overseen by a posse of 'newbies,' of recent date. Covid Commando's perhaps. They will each be in charge for one week and hoping to get their names in the top 10 General Classification list.
The Press-Gang will add the remaining 10 over the weekend, unless there is a sudden rush of volunteers.
Nine days to stage one in Brest.

Re: TOUR DE FRANCE 2021. Recruiting thread.
I had thought of doubling to 2 each but I like the thought of a wide range of players for this where no decisions are needed and it is immaterial which FF camp you are in.
Your Euro zombies are in the sights for this as they will be disappointed losing out before the round of 16. Perhaps one or two of the Highlanders as well !

Re: TOUR DE FRANCE 2021. Recruiting thread.
I am surprised that no one has selected BORA-HANSGROHE for this so I am hoping that Peter Sagan & Co are firing on all cylinders in France.
The 9 'newbies' making a debut are. 1.Olivia. 4. bongda123. 7. mustard26. (their team will appear shortly before the start)
Second 'newbie' team, 2. Ramz. 5. Maggie280. 8. Ro Hall. (again before start) Third 'newbie' team. 3. Nickypersil. 6. Rich5581. 9. bazaj. (ditto)
The remaining 9 will come from a selection of Highlanders (both sorts) and the SamD golfers in action this weekend.

Re: TOUR DE FRANCE 2021. Recruiting thread.
Cast list almost complete but I am willing to offer my BORA HANSGROHE & Peter Sagan to the first FISO claimant ! He is certain to give you a good run.
Existing managers can swap !

Change of plan ! As Jimmy Ching lives in NW France and the early stages are fairly close to home I am giving him BORA and will look after TOTAL DIRECT ENERGIE myself.

Re: TOUR DE FRANCE 2021. Recruiting thread.
later today the 23 managers of the teams for the 2021 Tour de France. A mix of dedicated bike fans and a sizeable quota of 'pressed' men possibly not aware that they are involved.

Re: TOUR DE FRANCE 2021. Recruiting thread.
yes Oxford nz you are among the 'big volunteer guns' and I am missing because I will be chaperoning the 3 newbie teams, Nickypersil, Olivia & Ramz all through the TDF. I am asking morganb to produce one of his charts which will show the state of play for all the teams, general classification (GC) sprint & King of the Mountain (KOM) every few days. Now switching to TDF Chat line.

Here's a chart showing the runners and riders plus the stages of the race. Not sure what is going in the boxes but it's a start!
