Welcome
dear visitor !
On
this site you can find out everything about Jeroen’s Tourspel.
The website is in Dutch, so I have written a short description of the Tourspel
in English. I
am happy that my website is being read beyond the Netherlands!
Jeroen’s
Tourspel has been played during the Tour de France since 1987.
The final edition of JTS was in 2010.
The
aim of the game.
The aim of Jeroen’s Tourspel is for each player to select a team of riders
participating Tour de France.
Players receive points based upon the finishing positions of the riders selected.
Points are received when riders selected finish in the top 15 places in each
stage.
The player whom accumulates the most points at the end of the Tour de France
becomes the winner of Jeroen’s Tourspel.
Players
must firstly select:
- List of 15 riders with 5 reserves. No more than 5 of
the 15 riders chosen can be team leaders, and none of the reserves can be
a team leader.
- Winners of the yellow, green and polka-dot jerseys;
and
- Last rider in the general
classification at the end of the Tour de France.
