FTDF Stage 21 & Overall - Kristoff Sprints, Thomas Top.

That's the Tour done for another year then. There's plenty to get through, so first of all, lets give a congratulatory nod to Alexandre Kristoff, for finally winning a stage, on the Champs-Elysees no less.

Geraint Thomas didn't fall off, and so won the overall. He seems like a good egg and has had his fair share of bad luck in the big races, so I'm happy for him - he's also one of the few Bile Beans to get many points.



Only a fool wouldn't have picked Peter Sagan. He had the Green Jersey competition sewn-up ages ago and he's still been finishing pretty high up in the sprints, despite a big crash a couple of days ago.



And lastly, and as far as most people are concerned, leastly, Julian Alaphilippe took home the Mountains Jersey.



Let's head over to the scores, as we have some extra ones today. Firstly, here's the Stage scores and a win for the Charmers.

And now onto the Big Ones, the End of Tour points. For once, it's not the History Boys in the lead, Drew's Dudes came out nicely, but it was too little too late.

As if we didn't already know, Warwick won the overall with the History Boys, who were a quality unit to be honest.

That's it then. A big thank you to Danny for all his work with the scores, I may have been a bit generous with the breakaway points, but I reckon they were close enough. Velogames should be back with some more non-French themed fantasy races and don't forget to Go Fund Them.

  3. Many thanks guys. Totally enjoyed, not a bad present for my 50th the weekend it finished. I still recall you counting out the winnings in coppers for me the last time I won in about 2007. Happy days. After a barren spell in tdfs since it's a welcome reversal, only thing didn't work was monsieur Philo just recovering from bottom... can't have everything;-) Anyway, chapeau to you all and I look forward to the games to come... well, we hope. Cheers all.
