and basically pick a team of 9.
I've started a private league just enter code 1408 (click on your bold team name on the menu options, you'll be taken to a home page and should be an option "Click here to join a new league..." at the bottom)
I've gone for
Contador
Cav
Sorensen
Boasson Hagen
Martin
Kolobnev
Lloyd
Hunt
Lokfvist
I now have a team - 'Eureka'! 
The lucky riders on my team are:
Contador
Farrar
Casar
Gesink
Martin
Grabsch
Rast
Flecha
Barry
I will probably make some changes once I have read the rules! 
In the way that you could load it up with classic specialists/sprinters at the start of the tour and swop them for climbers later on? Hmmm might need to check out these rules!
I need to find out how you get a richer sponsor!! 
Alberto CONTADOR AST
Sandy CASAR FDJ
Alexander VINOUKOUROV
Levi LEIPHEIMER
Geraint THOMAS
Jakob FUGLSANG
Julian DEAN
Niki TERPSTRA
Theres my team claire i hope to beat you 🙂
Fighting talk from Dylan there! Going for Vino eh? Should be interesting to see how him and Contador work together.
Just had this through:
The first scoring stage is of course the prologue, and you can make as many changes as you like up until 12pm on Saturday.
After that you can make two transfers per stage to keep on top of the ebb and flow of the race. Transfer windows run from 6pm on the evening of the previous stage to 11am on the day of the stage itself.
Might need to make some changes, put in some time triallers and classic specialists!
Exactly! I have completely changed my team so that I am looking to the time trial, sprints and cobbles. No need to worry about the mountains or overall just yet! The problem comes when any rider you have chosen retires through injury or missing the cut-off because you are then a man down! That could be a problem going into the cobbles because there are bound to be some mega crashes in the twitchy first few days - maybe a canny rider like Armstrong will keep out of trouble better than a Contador or Wiggins.....
Hmmmm looks like I've got a busy lunch time ahead!! You get 2 transfers after each stage though which might help - it's cutting down who will be there till the end.
Dylan,
I think you have no points because you have picked 8 riders but you must have 9. There is still a long way to go, and if you sort this out, there is still plenty of time to triumph - we haven't even got to the Alps yet!
Choose wisely!
Great to meet you today, Andy! Rob and I are loving the Fantasy TDF - make sure you make a couple of switches every night to max your points! This is a big day today - good luck!
Claire
Thanks Claire good to meet you too yesterday, might make a couple of changes tonight, my domestiques are letting the side down!
having a bit of trouble with this fantasy team, i'm trying to put in Abbey Clancey and it's only allowing Ed Clancey . . . . what sort of fantasy is that I ask!
😆 Very good Andy. That just made me spit Tea on my computer.
