I see over on www.velogames.com we can play fantasy cycling much like fantasy football, baseball, etc.
It is free to play.
Any interest in creating an MFP league and having some fun?

Basically...
You act as the owner of a team. You pick nine riders from a list to form a team up until the Tour start. You are given a budget of 100 credits. Riders of higher skill and ability cost more than lesser skilled riders. Riders riders score points for their real-life performances in the Tour de France, based on the scoring system. At the end of the event, the team whose riders have amassed the most points is declared the winner of Velogames Fantasy Tour de France 2014.
The Details...

Which second one? And what's "Welwyn Junior Racing" as the league for MFP?
I went to sign up at the NBS Sports fantasy challenge, but all I could find is a link to log on if you're a returning player. Nowhere to register as a new user?0 -
The second one being Mad Alchemy.
I'm not sure how it happened but the league code for mine comes up with "Welwyn Junior Racing" AND My Fitness Pal. You can join either.
I looked at the NBC thing and found the same issue. Pass for now.0 -

Well, only one of my picks made points today, Marcel Kittel. I would have made more if Contador didnt crash. Hope his arm will be ok.0

Sagan got most of my points. A few others scored some but nothing major.0
