Tour De France 2013

Well done chris froome.

 

[Paul Lake's Left Knee]

Nooooooooooooooooooo! My transfers for the last stage WERE outside the deadline (I thought you could do them later because the stage didn't start till 5.30, ) Effectively I was sipping champagne on the Champs-Élysées only to be knocked off by a running El Diablo and his pointy fork! The last stage is meant to be a procession! 120 points down the pan and guaranteed victory, Gutted :(

To make it worse my detractor won, well done Paul Lake's Left Knee, I'll send you the lion :(

Its a victory for clean fantasy league, my explanation of your fake knock obviously influenced the judges.

Id like to thank my family, my friends, everyone who has helped me get to this moment in my life, I couldnt have done it without their support. My team mates have been wonderful and all my fans, i say a big thank you. They kept me going through the dark times, and this award if for all of you, as much as it is me. Its very humbling, to win the 100th edition of the tour's Bluemoon fantasy league. This is one fantasy league performance that will stand the test of time and wont be removed from the history books. *repeats in French for the locals*

For those that dont know or cant be arsed to look, but mostly for those of you who count your chickens before they hatch, Shands my old mucker, heres the glorious final standings

1 Breakaway success 1500000 0 1410
2 Froome Corsica to Paris 3500000 0 1359
3 Thibaut Steak 0 0 1356
4 Rascals 500000 4 1182
5 Chain Male 7500000 0 1113
6 Team Manchester Blue 0 8 1015
7 Discos all Stars 0 8 0

Chain Male might've been a bit higher had my final day changes not all got zero. Not quite sure why but still! Well done PLLK! Hopefully I'll do better in Fantasy Premier League...
To echo the echoes, I've really enjoyed this thread - thanks guys!
Booked a campsite in Threshfield for next year's - can't wait!

Andy Schleck said earlier this year that, although he'd been awarded the 2010 Tour, he didn't feel like a Tour victor as he hadn't won it on the road. I felt sorry for him, much like I feel sorry for you now in the same predicament. Yes the record books may show you as the 2013 Fantasy winner but the fans, the followers and lifeblood of the sport, know who the true champion was and no contaminated transfer deadline system will ever change that!! Rest assured when I ride into this forum victorious next year I'll be raising two fingers to signify my wins rather than one!!!

Not at all, i won on the road, your fake knock cost you, and you had to go for your tea to try and cover up your mutant 3rd week performance, rather than make those transfers. Next year you will just show yourself up, like the faded force that you are, you will talk a good game in the build up, say its win or nothing for you on this tour, say you have the best team you've ever had and you will even import your own meat so your tea can be cooked on time and transfers not missed. The facts will be though, you might win a windy stage and put some points into me, when it gets to the real test, you'll see that I am the one with the legs and i will show you, a proven cheat and mutant, that without your juice, my new techniques, training and technology (my marginal fantasy points gains team) will show you that fantasy league has moved on since your day. I started in fantasy football, and have 20 years of data, that i am now applying to cycling fantasy league, do you call my years of success in that field a fluke as well? I think your only real hope of success would be the vuelta a espana fantasy league, where you can team up with the other Spanish to try and break me by somehow adding 2 or 3 teams points together.

In any case, I've been on the clinic, and his rate of learning being off the scale, next years chosen fantasy mutant will be Rascal, i mean he was nowhere 2 years ago, look at him now and his Sky fanboy ways, he is serious about this. He's my real challenge next year.

Despite his other ramble, PLLK makes a valid observation with his last comment. In the space of a few months Mr Rascal has moved on the knowledge curve from a grupetto makeweight hanging on to the side of motorcycles, to suddenly being a mountain goat, twirling up climbs and dropping seasoned TDF forumites without breaking sweat - and at some advanced years no less! I think WADA should be round his house post haste!* We've got an eye on you Rascal.


*also to PLLK's as he may be harbouring some leafy contraband substances in his musette that can get him kicked out and me reinstated ;-)

On Ventoux there were rumors that Rascal used the drug, that he himself coded JD whenever the commissars back was turned ie looking at a beautiful chateux or castle. Also rumor throughout the tour he used the English equivalent of Fortearc.

Errrr, as for me they are all legal and above board your honor, and certainly not performance enhancing!! Other well used excuses, i was at a party where there were some teens smoking and i didnt inhale.

I put my improvement down to the hard work and countless hours of watching old races on you tube. I did this tour clean apart from my secret drug which you may have heard of. Cider. I also think you guys my team mates have worked extremely hard and showed great patience whilst helping me in this journey.

I can honestly say the only reason ive not gone completely cold turkey today is that the TdF highlights are on now on ITV4 and im going to watch all the stages again on catch up :)

Next year this Sky fanboy will win the Yellow jersey by 1000 points but first im gonna finish runner up at the Vuelta :)

Well they say a joke is never funny (why start now I know) when you explain it, the drug Fortearc i accused you of taking, Forte - means Strong, Arc means - bow - put em together... I'm here all week, help yourselves to the buffet.

Its awful, i hate the Mondays after a tour, no cricket to distract me either... I missed most of the open, why couldnt that start today. Somebody somewhere needs to have a word. Not even beating Shands has cheered me up.

What a year 2014 is going to be. Just watching the Cycle Show on ITV4 that is doing a build up programme for the Giro visiting Northern Ireland next Year. Then we have the Promenade de Yorkshire in the Tour.
