Uhhhh, I don't like this mediocrity stuff.  I either want podium of DFL.  Porte helped out today in that dept.
Damn Ryan. Nice.
Nice picking Ryan. I'm moving up, but don't think I can move much higher in the Kissena rankings.
I just realized that you can change jerseys mid-tour. So, being that I am, for the first time ever, leading one of these things, I put on the yellow! I acknowledge that in doing so I have ascended to a whole new level of nerddom.

And I vow to relinquish it when I am knocked off.

(Clifford, if you want you can keep your yellow jersey, i guess...even though you didn't earn it)
Soooooooo dorky.....
Just back from a small vacation and pleased to see I'm in 5th. Unfortunately, Ted King has more points thanTGV and I'm not sure that is changing anytime soon.

it's actually an over-sized yellow t-shirt, not a jersey.  i wear it under my bibs.  
in the biergarden, i wear the liter's jersey
With Gadret, Bouhanni and Brajkovic out my team is living up to it's name... 
and just what does that dummy Hoogerland think he's doing trying to solo across 3 minute gap to 17 riders? Grrrr.
Costa pulls me up into mid pack where I belong! Ryan and his evil cheating conglomerate of big 6 Wall Street financiers in tandem with oil and production exploiters cannot be stopped. Thanks congress!
Owens with the stage win makes a nice overall jump while Craig takes the top step.


I got 2nd, 4th 5th and 6th. The Chug A Lugs are making a 4th quarter comeback!

Only to blow it by throwing an INT, ala Romo in the 2 minute drill!

If only I hadn't swapped Sagan for Cav at the last second...

Its gonna be tight. May come down to the final day.
Ryan - this is the one cycling thing I will beat you handily in. There, I said it.

This petulance is not taken lightly by your corporate overlords. You have one hour to publicly relent. After that, you will suffer the consequences of your insubordination. 

Yours,

Management
Walmart-Haliburton-Goldman Sachs-Chevron Cycling Team
 
BOOM!  I'm coming for the podium, sukkas! 

And Quintana has exactly 666 points.  Deal with Satan > doping?
Dear Craig, Your corporate overlords have spoken.
I'm just toying with you.
Hey, I've got 3rd, 5th, and 6th on GC.  I should get bonus points for not picking the obvious Froome and/or Contadork, thus preventing me from either winning or getting a first place loser.

I think Craig's gonna take this though!
@Ryan J.....I am shocked.....SHOCKED....that in a race decided by who has the best pharmaceuticals, your team of so-called corporate overlords lacks a Big Pharma presence......

They're the silent strength behind our dominance. Like Blackwater in Iraq before we knew about them.
BOOM.  Fatboy is coming for you, Glaxo-Smith-Klein was my secret weapon, Mr. Sachs.
Corporate overlords have been dethroned. Craig firmly in the lead and on his way to back to back fantasy wins. Owens on the podium with a good chance for a 2nd place finish. I may have a shot at the third step. It could come down to tomorrow's sprint stage.
Dayum Craig, you good at this game!

It ain't over til the fat lady sings.

(but I think the writing is on the wall)

in any case, that's why they play the game

and, either way, the sun'll come up tomorrow
It's over!!!

Ryan's evil deal destructors of the world economy forsake him...

Congrats to Craig. I couldn't make up for being in last place after the first week. I need a 4 week GT. Actually I've gone podium in 3 of 4 of these leagues; I'm the Purito of fantasy cycling.
I want cyclicross...

I'm the number one ranked team without a Sky rider. Once we figure out what kind of doping they've been up to I expect to have the crown dropped down through the ranks to me. 
If you're not cheating, you're not trying. And it's only cheating if you get caught.  It's the way of the world.
Perlberg, You'll have to pry it from my cold dead hands.
It's that time again!  Who's up for Fantasy Vuelta?

Velogames.com
League Name: Kissena League
League Code: 20203126


Teams need to be in by Saturday morning. I think Craig is on vacation, so hopefully he won't see this in time to register.

Good luck.
