2

I’d like to nominate myself for best name this time around

For those out of the loop:

3

I thought my Jungles pick was going to be super sneaky but two others had him, and they scored higher on the day!

4

After day 1.

Eat your greens Philippe T 1 460
rc1 Jon VK 2 445
Vino4ever!! Nibbles4shame… Dennis 3 370
Continued suckage Yony 4 285
CHRIS HORNER WINS SUPERBOWL XLIX DavidF 5 270
Keep Entendres Single Coach P 6 210
Team Random Chance AGallai 7 200
psst team Pavel_S 8 200
Sandwich Isles Scrub Squad Dominique 9 190
Ryder`s comeback Year Mike 10 150

This teaches me to drop Talansky the night before in favour of Kwiat

5

Phil takes the opening lead with all four top finishers in his team. Hopefully his team tires out defending that jersey while eating only grass.

6

Don’t worry guys! I’m here to make sure nobody else finishes 2nd last to Yony!

7

Last day before race starts, so far we’ve got 7 great teams:

Eat your greens Philippe T 1 0
Keep Entendres Single Coach P 2 0
Vino4ever!! Nibbles4shame… Dennis 3 0
psst team Pavel_S 4 0
rc1 Jon VK 5 0
Continued suckage Yony 6 0
CHRIS HORNER WINS SUPERBOWL XLIX DavidF 7 0

I’m finding picking a team to be rather difficult. Will TJ suck wind as usual? Is Keldermann burnt out from the Giro?

With the race only lasting a week there’ll be a lot less opportunity to pick up stage wins. Maybe a GC heavy team is best?

9

Froome. Unless Wiggins’ voodoo tricks work.

10

Wiggins hires Ghanaian witch doctor to curse Froome with tendonitis.

11

Wiggins pays Ferrar 10$ to ride close to Froome.

12

Horner got pulled. My fantasy team is ruined.

13

Now I’m extra bitter at Jungles for scoring me a grand total of 4 points all classics season.

14

Pete’s name is once again brilliant

15

Stealing from The Simpsons FTW

16

David, procrastinating, so you’ll have an api to get data for your graphs soon. Might take another round of procrastination before I have rider scores for things like 4 pointers though…

17

David (& anyone else who wants to make graphs I guess)

If you’re using R you should be able to just do

velogames <- read.csv("http://j-vk.com:8080/league")

Code is here:

I still need to extract overall positions and eventually will add rider stats and fill in the team’s rider info.

The data should update every ~half an hour.

18

i swear to god if anyone else steps on my graphin’ toes … (im lookin @ u pete)

thanks jon!

19

Would you prefer
/leagues/stages/{points,position}
/leagues/overall/{points,position,overall}
And eventually
/leagues/teams
/riders
