Tour a few days before it begins.

 
RULES OF THE LEAGUE:



Roster:  Each player picks nine(9) riders for their Tour de France roster. Scoring is similar to cross country running, with the top 5 final general classification places of your selected riders defining a score, but it can be reduced by deductions for stage wins and jersies.   An alternate is also allowed.  If it turns out one of the nine selected riders does not start the Tour (or is replaced in the prologue), the alternate as used in the 9 player roster instead. (For example, in 1994 the night before the start of the tour, the French rider Moncassin, broke his ankle when he fell off the podium at the Tour party introducing the riders to the press corps.)  You may pick one alternate for each different price level of your selected riders.   You must select 9 riders, although you are free to select as many riders with a price of $25 (such as yourself).
 

In order to encourage more diverse selections, we have assigned a price to each of the top 50 ProTour riders, and selected others. You receive a budget of $750 for purchasing your nine riders Tour favorites cost $165 or $150, other riders in the table have prices of $135, $125,  $110, $100, $90, $75, $60 or $50.  Any rider not mentioned in the table has a price of $25.  You can spend no more than $750 on your team of 9.   At the bottom of this page is the complete table of rider prices.  Here is a sample.

-  Tony Gallopin                                                      60


So, for example, a roster of  Vingegaard, Podajcar, Van Aert, Thomas, Sivakov, Masnada, Kamna, Gallopin and Betancur is not valid, since its total price of $920 is way over budget.  However,  a roster of Vingegaard Roglic, Laporte, Masnada, Storer, Gallopin, Kamna, Sivakov and Betancur has a total price of $750,  so it is valid.  You must pick 9 riders, although you can pick any rider (including Marco Pantani, Jan Ullrich, Greg Lemond or Bernard Hinault) not listed for $25  Note that not all  of the riders listed here may actually participate in the Tour de France, so you should still look for the list of teams and riders at  www.cyclingnews.com or www.letour.com  a few days before the race begins.   In particular, any rider in the list below associated with a team that is not selected for the Tour is not riding.
 

SCORING
The lowest score wins (as in golf). Each participant's top five (5) riders from the general classification (abbreviated as G.C. meaning the overall ranking based on elapsed time in all
stages)  count toward the score. The G.C. placement of the  rider in a participant's roster is a score. For example, if a  participant had riders in 1st, 3rd, 8th, 9th and 10th G.C.  places as her five best riders, then her G.C. score would be  1+3+8+9+10=31. BONUS points (see below) are then subtracted from this score to arrive at the participant's FINAL SCORE. G.C. placing for riders who abandon in the middle of the race is based on the number of riders remaining in the race at the
 start of the stage in which the rider quit.

BONUS  : BONUS points are subtracted for [1] having rider place in the top three in a daily stage, [2] for having a rider in the overall tour leader's yellow jersery, and at the completion of the 3-week long race for [3] winning a colored jersey as follows:

[1a] -5 points for a stage win.
[1b] -2 points for 2nd in a stage.
[1c] -1 points for 3rd in a stage.
[2]  -5 points for the first day a roster member wears the yellow (leader's) jersey, -1 point for each day thereafter.
[3a] -5 points for the yellow (leaders) jersey at tours end.
[3b] -5 points for the green (sprint leader's) jersey at end.
[3c] -5 points for the polka-dot (best climber's) jersey at end
[3d] -5 points for the white (best young rider) jersey at end.

SCORING
Example: Suppose a roster of nine riders included the riders given below with their final placings, stage placings and jersies. (Notice that negative FINAL SCORES are possible):

Totals : (1+2+12+14+39)   =                                                    68                                              15                                         6           5          3

TOTAL SCORE  =          (GC score)      -      (Yellow)  -   (1stX5)-(2ndX2)-(3rdX1)-(Jersies)
                                                 68         -            27     -       30     -      10    -      3      -    15



FINAL SCORE   =                 68 - 85 = -17 points (lowest score wins)

The scores are updated after each stage, adjusting for changes in G.C. and bonus deductions.

TIES:    In the case of ties, the tie will be broken by comparing the G.C. place of the sixth (6th) best pick of each person tied. This process is repeated throught the 9th best rider if necessary.
 
Riders with a line through their name are not participating in this years Tour for various
reasons.  Riders with names asterisked have been identified as questionable to participate,
so you should be sure to verify they are actually riding.  This does not mean all other riders
are participating, so be sure  to check the  list of teams and riders a few days before the
Tour starts.   And, you should  also check your picks a couple of days before the tour starts
with the final rider start list.

New for 2012.   Only positive drug tests associated with the actual tour in which the test happened
will alter the standings.    For example, Contador's positive in the 2010 that led to his results being
removed from the 2010 and 2011 tours will only apply to the 2010 tour, since he passed all tests in
the 2011 tour.   Note that in both those tours, his removal did not change the winner of the TDFRL
