In the GC I think they use the actual stage time (down to tenths/hundredths of a second) from the riders concerned rather than rounding them down and giving them the same time. whoever has the fastest time gets the jersey.
Think that makes sense

Omloop this weekend. First of the proper races IMO.
Girl from our club racing the woman's race, she's got a ride with a Dutch team for the season trying to make it pro.
Timmy Guy who thrashed us all a few weeks back in a club handicap won the final stage of tour of the Philippines this weekend. He was flying when I saw him, best I've seen him ride. His team are on "Gusto" bikes this year, a Malaysian brand, seem pretty big over there, must be trying to go internationally.

Omloop FTW! There is no way it can possibly be as good as last year though, that was incredible. Stannard slapping half of the Ettix team about for the fun of it
Been counting down the days to the classics for months, so excited!!
Great couple of races over the weekend! Omloop not as interesting as last year, but as least KBK had a fantastic finish. Well deserved wins in both races for different reasons. I'm predicting a wet Paris Roubaix already (hoping )

Future of classics looks great - Spartacus and Tommekke retire just as Benoot and Stuyven come of age!

Amazing ride from Stuyven. Weekend only slightly spoiled by having money on Kristoff (7/4) for KBK and Debusschere for OHN (50/1), both of whom won the bunch sprint but behind a breakaway.

Yeah it is some mental Eastern Euro type sketchy looking address but site is alright.
Dude seriously needs a proper hair cut and to shave his legs.... He's went full circle for me.... Annoying, funny and now back to annoying.

I now love him even more for trolling you with his fake haircut.

Just put together my Paris Nice fantasy team. Went Thomas, Contador, Bardet, Dumoulin, Yates, Costa, Tom-Jelte ****ter and Tim Wellens. Left out Porte after his performance at Oman, don't think he's quite on form yet and since he's got his sights set higher this year he might keep something back anyway. Plus it's always nice to have a few wildcards 
Dimension Data have a bit of an odd line up. They have a very strong team, they're definitely capable of a top 10, but the issue is that they're all strong, there's no one obvious protected rider. Seems like they just ride it and see what happens, which might not be in their best interests.

My fantasy team for the prologue is Dumoulin, Dennis, Contador, Thomas as my main guys. They are all TT beasts, no way I am selecting Porte for anything. Sub in Bardet & Kruijswijk on the med/high mountain days and change around my lower cost riders for the sacrificial likely to get away break dudes

Yeah man, road.cc
I am on the /r/peoloton league on Reddit. I will setup a OcUK league just now though, I was thinking about it last night and I'd rather do that right now than this crappy work I am dumped with. Hang fire for deets everyone!
Soldato
Yeah, I just started doing it on the reddit fantasy league. Seems like there's less "restrictions" than road.cc, just more casual.
