ToB - pick three Britons
drheaton has kindly agreed to run a 'pick three...' comp for the Tour of Britian. Submissions closed now, but rules for reference are:
1 - Pick three riders from the startlist who are British and ensure that your three riders cost a combined 50 Space Creds or less.
2 - Only riders finishing the race count towards your points total. If one of your riders abandons mid-race (even during the last stage) then their points won't count towards your total.
3 - There are no restrictions on picking more than one rider from a particular team, if you want to pick three riders from Madison-Genesis feel free.
4 - Highest combined total wins, if one or more players get the same combined score then the winner will be chosen by a coin toss/random number generator or similar impartial method
5 - Deadline for entries was 11am (BST) Sunday 15 September 2013.
Teams are:

Whoa, I won?!
Nice one! If I were being egotistical, I might also note that I won the TdF one two. Or fifty per cent of all of the 'pick three xxx' games. Would that I had such luck in the game proper.
Cavendish, Si Yates, thwaites please
I'd like the following please;
M. Cavendish
S. Yates
I. Bibby
Cheers.
Stannard
House
Si Yates
Stannard
Edmondson
House
(Cav too expensive; Wiggo unreliable lately)
House
Handley
Yates
I've given you Simon, let me know if you wanted Adam.
Adam DNS today so don't think he's gonna change his mind now
Even less so now Simon's got the stage win!!
House
S Yates
Bibby
Cavendish
A. Yates
S. Thwaites
Anyone have a third-party link to stage profiles? The official ToB website is flipping useless.
S Yates
Opie
Cavendish
Cav
S Yates
Thwaites
Wiggins, Dowsett, Stannard
Cavs
S yates
I bibby
I had considered that, the last day of the ToB is the day of the Worlds TTT but with Wiggins in particular, if he's leading the race after the ToB ITT he may try and win the race.
I suppose it all depends how much time they lose on stages 1 and 2.
It seems Wiggins has been making a thorough recon of all the ToB stages. He may well be looking for the win as a confidence boost before the Worlds ?
My mistake it is the 25th for the ITT but still a bit close and I'd be surprised if Wiggo and Dowsett weren't in the Sky and Movistar TTT squads......if they dare take on OPQS?
Not sure those of you picking Dowsett and or Wiggo have thought things through.....they will probably pull out before the end for the World TTT(last day of the TOB) and World ITT(day after TOB finishes).
I've picked them both...
May need a rethink! Thought the ITT was on the 25th, though!?
Mine are
George Atkins
Andrew Tennant
Yanto Barker
Decent spread of riders being picked so far. May have mugged myself not picking Cav, but he's in my purist (and Wiggo is not) so what the hell.
Cav,Bibby,Opie
