Bonjour!

Beaucoup des changes on le table! Kevin is showing his brother how to do it at the top. I remember that feeling Kevin, chapeau and keep it up. At this stage it's all about Transfers so feel free to use them all up like Barry for the craic, I could do with the help!

Lots of movement every day and great stages that have become hard to predict have combined to make this one of the most competitive fantasy leagues since the invention of fantasy itself. Special mention to Petit Nick Appleby who is 28 years young today and not so petit any more! Happy Birthday Nick!

Allez, bonne journée!

Darragh

Bonjour Gar et les Gars,

Last few days of the tour and it looks like Kevin is doing a Froomie on it while everyone else is fighting it out for a Podium place like in the Tour itself. Watch out for Luke making a late charge as he does so regularly in the Club League! Does anyone have any transfers left at all?!

Cheers Darragh for setting up the league and the updates throughout.
Well done to Hippo2016 on the win. Sorry to Luke(not really) for jumping into 6th on the final day. Think that beats my Giro finish. Bagged joint highest stage score for today in our league. Not too shabby for a team I had to settle with on the 9th.
Till the Vuelta.....

Bonjour les amis!

C'est finit, c'est dommage! But as Baz the Horizontal Tube says, the Vuelta is coming soon so watch this space!

Congratulations to Kevin Farrell who is not only making an impressive comeback on the bike but also simply blew us all away in this competition with a huge winning margin and overall score! Chapeau Kevin! Well done to Jules, who claims second place and pushed Kevin all the way and even held the yellow jersey once or twice. Lads, please conatct Gar directly to claim your prizes. Special mention to John Twomey, who finished strongly in 3rd place. No prize for 3rd place but it is your birthday so we wish you a Happy Birthday and will sing it for you next time we see you.

There were 22 entrants in the Fantasy Tour this year, a record as far as I know, so I hope to see you all back for La Vuelta, older, wiser and more miserly with the transfers. I can't mention everyone but Chapeau to Baz Mooney for his Cancellara like early days dominance of the yellow jersey. Watch him in the Vuelta, I think he wants ti win it! Dan Coulcher picks up the Lantern Rouge like our man Sam Bennett. Dan started a few days late and so way always playing catch up but stuck with it and never gave up, Chapeau Dan! I will also mention Luke GJ Potter for a fine performance and because he sometimes is kind to me in his blog! Louise Keane is our only Lady and she finished in a very respectable 9th place, well done Louise! Let's see if we can muster up a few more female managers for the Vuelta...

Finally, thank you to everyone for taking part. Hope to see you all again for the Vuelta, spread the word! I'm sure you'll agree, it is great craic! Allez, a la prochaine! In the words of Carlton Kirby yesterday, "Froome the Bell Tolls", he's not the worst, respect!

Au revoir et merci,
Darragh

It's OK Barry, It was all David Navarro's fault. I thought that he would have a bit of fight in him. I ran out of transfers last Saturday and went for Majka and Navarro, instead of Majka and De Gendt, even though I had the budget.

Cheers for organising Daragh. Was good fun but I felt the pressure mounting once I took the lead and agonised over my Weetabix whether to stick or twist with the potential breakaways in the final week. Shame they never got to put the tallest podium girls beside Quintana this time round but there's always next year
