Another Daft Idea - The "Minor Tours" Challenge...

No - Not Minotaurs - Minor Tours.
I guess most of us know about the Grand Tour Challenges I run, over the Giro d'Italia, LeTour and LaVuelta. But, while playing with Jason's marvelous CycLeagues website, a thought struck me... Just out of interest, and for a bit of a diversion, why not do something for the Minor Tours as well - the 1 week or 10 day tours that don't get the same attention... And, because its driven from the CycLeagues site, we don't actually have to do much of anything other than Open a thread and paste a screenshot of the results in there... Bonus!
So, as a trial run, I thought I'd do something for the following Tours...
Critérium du Dauphiné 2016 - 5th June > 12th June
Tour de Suisse 2016 - 11th June > 19th June
Route du Sud 2016 - 16th June > 19th June
Tour of Poland 2016 - 12th July > 18th July
More dates may be added... depending on levels of interest...

Bummer, I thought this was about half-man/half-bull cyclists! Seriously, if it works that easily do it!0

looks like it from their website - http://tourdepologne.pl/en/
to be honest, as it crosses through the TdF Challenge, it's probably likely to be dominated by people riding that challenge as well... for this incarnation I'll leave it be - but I think perhaps if I was doing this for the full season next year, I'd probably try and get some way of excluding people from being in more than one challenge at once - same as you just can't physically be in france and poland on the same date and time...

You know we could have a Minor Tour league points system, just a thought
