PG - Tour de France 2023 Stage 8

Tougher day for the sprinters but they’ll giving it a go lumpy finish or not.

The Favourites

Looks like an open stage. Tough to see a break winning but it’s not impossible. Then there’s a plethora of riders who will like their chances from puncheurs to climby sprinters plus the aforementioned quick men. The final is up and down with more than the two categorised short, sharp climbs. If Jasper isn’t there we might see a Wout, MvdP duel with Bini to pip them both!

Good luck with your picks.

For now, here's the startlist as it stands.

The Rules

In this game, only the race results matter. You're not committed to keeping the same riders throughout the series, you make fresh picks before every race. Our overall competition is just the sum of individual race scores. You're eligible for the overall even if you miss some races.

Pick 4 riders for the upcoming race. The order of your picks doesn't matter. All of your riders can score.

Riders score points down to 10th place. Less popular riders score more points than heavily-picked favourites. See below for scoring details.

The strict entry deadline is the official start time of the race, the neutralized roll-out or Départ Fictif. Be warned - if your post is timestamped one minute late your entry won't count! So do remember that there's no disadvantage to getting an entry in early, even the day before, because you may always change your picks up until the deadline. Feel free to rethink your picks when it emerges which riders are more or less popular with other players. If you make changes, post your revised 4 picks in a reply to your original post.
