Great OP, you've really outdone yourself (again) Mr.Nice. When Le Tour rolls around each year, somewhat against my better judgement, I can't help but get excited and - dare I say it - perhaps even cautiously optimistic. :)

Is anyone running an SA fantasy league on Velogames?

We've got a long-running league at http://fantasy.road.cc/. The league ID is 77482.

Fully expect a few GC riders to crack and fold once they hit the cobbles. Interestingly, Froome is the only GC contender (unless you count Rui Costa) to ever have raced the Paris-Roubaix, although he never finished the race.

Does the team car order change day to day? It it chosen by lottery, or what?

General classification decides it.

Contador has to attack at every opportunity now, and that always makes for some incredibly entertaining racing.

Watch this unless you have something better. MSR is always worth a watch. It's just so fast.

Porte gets a 2 min penalty for outside mechanical help in the final. He's out of top 10. Final podium Aru, Landa, Cataldo, make it happen Astana.

Not a chance for the breakaway today. Stage win, top 10 placings, fight for the KoM... should be a good one.

Perhaps Tinkoff should've signed some actual mountain domestiques instead of Sagan.

Where did 7.04W/Kg come from? @ammattipyoraily on twitter estimated 6.09W/Kg and is usually pretty close.

Downhill TT should be a thing. Might end the Froome domination (Froomination?).

They have to do both. Winner is the guy who completes the mountain stage quickest after eating 25 hotdogs in three minutes.
