Around 7 hours until the start of Stage 1. Still waiting on @chels and @Dravid (and @Kiewa if he is around).

I know 5 I am definitely picking, still tossing up on the 6th pick. I'll lock something in closer to the race.

All entries are in (except Kiewa). I'll post the selections shortly.

Mine:

Good luck all, both here and in the official fantasy which I think most of you have entered.

Tour de France Selections:

New colours for Red Bull Bora Hansgrohe and Jayco Alula. I've kept the same as usual for Visma Lease a Bike and Alpecin Deceuninck despite their kit being different in this race, as I think their colour change is a one off.

Pedersen out

Affects most people in the comp unfortunately, as you and I are the only two who didn't pick him. Bonaparte is probably the most affected, as Pedersen was the only unique rider compared to your team. As the two of you (yourself and Bonaparte) are the only ones who picked Remco, I would say you are looking good odds for another top spot here.

Girmay looking like a big miss from everyone, but it's understandable why nobody picked him.

Yates is looking like a good pick today at least. Could really get back into GC contention.

Ayuso on the other hand was not a great pick from me. Took a punt on an upset pick, should have just stuck with Remco as I originally planned. Can't help getting sick I guess. :(

I'll update everything for the last 9 stages of the Tour by the end of the week. Spoiler: Just by looking at selections, I can tell that Dravid will have finished in top spot again. Great effort on taking out another event win!

Just a reminder that we are selecting for the Time Trial and Road Race at the Olympics as a bonus event this year. The time trial will be held this Saturday night (just after midnight, so technically Sunday), and the road race will be held a week later on Saturday 3 August. You will be selecting one rider per event - it can be the same rider in both if you want. These events will only be held once every four years, so don't miss out!

Looking like tough conditions for the ITT. Wet roads, plenty of crashes in the women's race, including a mechanic who face planted during a bike change. May be a more challenging course than it first seems.

Selections:
Tarling: tso, Old Big 'Ead, chels, Ironhawk
Ganna: Bonaparte
Evenepoel: Woosie, Dravid
