PWJ Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 The amazing Tour de France kicks off Saturday evening and like every year I set up a comp on Superbru open to all my friends on here. So ENTER TODAY ! You can find my pool here: https://www.superbru.com/tourdefrance/pool.php?p=12360178 or by downloading the Superbru app and searching for the pool with code: beepvans Hope plenty of you guys and gals who enjoy watching the Tour can join me and add a bit of interest to your viewing. Personally I watch mainly for the scenery 😅 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordy Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Damn, just picked up this thread, so guess I am too late now to join. I follow all the cycling races, especially any that have kiwis racing. We got rid of most of Sky TV a few months back so restricted now to watching short highlight clips on YouTube and GCN website. No Kiwis in this years race, and after the crashes in the early stages I think my picks are already out of contention. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will just have somewhat of a handicap ! There's only VS and someone called "Romantic Miss" (not sure who that is) playing so please join us 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordy Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Ok, I am registered and have done picks for the time trial tonight. I couldn’t quite figure out how to bring up more riders to chose from so have gone with the ones shown. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordy Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 With tonight’s stage looking like a sprinters stage, can I have 4 sprinters or do I have to have a team leader, an attacker, and a wild card ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordy Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Thanks Vonnie, I am starting to get the hang of it now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
von Smallhaussen Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 I am waiting for the 'fireworks' to start because there have been a number of riders that I expect to be competitive 'hiding' so far - probably knowing that the first week can be caos.

Dancing Show Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 I'm just in an Autopool called the Sweet Bears and New Zealand of course 🙂 My women's football so far is a disaster but at least now I know how bad some teams are - maybe their top players just didn't bother travelling to Tokyo - so easier for next round 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mens tournament is really just a world under-23 comp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancing Show Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Yeah true re the men's. Australia beating Argentina, Egypt/Spain a nil all draw and Mexico beating France convincingly were a surprise, but at least Brazil beating Germany was on the cards. Honduras/Romania result so far is a good one for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Globederby19 Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 The football is a joke. I watched some of the NZ womans teams game. A few nice skillful players on ( our side)but it's like watching junior 9th grade on a Saturday.(Our side) that is. . F---ng woeful, and embarrassing at times.

I will frank that comment by stating it doesn't come from a position of ignorance, as I played Rep football for Wellington for many years ,and a Miramar Rangers stalwart.
