Fantasy Giro

I'm looking forward to this at least as much as I am to the race itself. If that's a sentence.

Anyone interested in a mini league?

Who's entered two teams? That's against the rules.

Team created and entered...

Oops. I assumed "re-draft your team" would replace my first one. Not create a second team. They're more or less the same anyway.

Since the fantasy footie is just about finished might as well join something else...I'm in

in, fresh from escaping mid table mediocrity in the Football, I am sure to be languishing at the back of this peloton, sure to be dropped from the main bunch within the first couple of KM.

Ah, if that's the case, you're grand. Site says this:

Please note that you will need to add your new team to any mini-league you have already joined. Your previously-entered teams will be disabled for scoring and mini-league purposes after the start of the scoring phase of the game.

I feel much better now I know Tonto has joined me in my road captains choices of Basso and Vino

What the hell to I know?

Anyone else think the budget was a bit generous?

Yeah and he did the same last year, leaves a prety good chance of a more than one of us entering the same team.

Actually speaking of generous, what prize will I be getting for winning this?

The Giro game is just for fun. Therefore, there are no prizes on offer except for pride and eternal glory!

It's better than a kick in the b****x I suppose.

More than I

The budget was very generous... there's usually some scrimping and saving needed for your last riders, but I picked who I wanted, and had points left over!

Why no score updates?

Cos the guy was away for the weekend... says they should be up today, though if you look at the league, the order of teams has moved around from the weekend, so maybe the scores have been computed, and I'm in second place

Captain Havoc

Looks like he's throwing the scores up, I've 707 points and I'm waiting on Cadel Evans score.

All scores seem to be up now! Doing well

Only 2 points behind you Mosiki but you are set to run ahead even further if Nibali stays in the jersey for any considerable length of time!

godihatedehills

bumpity bump. looks like it's been updated.

Bragging rights to Mosiki at the moment.

You can't change your team can you? There's none of that mad Friday afternoon injury scramble that you get in the fantasy football....

Yea! Last by a long shot

Pretty bad for a vaguely random pick. I probably would have been better off with a dartboard

godihatedehills

8th.

Won't be beating tonto or Aidan for the rest of the season so I may as well enjoy it

Captain Havoc

After a promising start I end up in 17th

gimmeaminute

Think they still have to update with the time trial details. But Rubix has the win I'm pretty sure. I'm happy to be Arroyo.

On the basis of my podium finish my partner is encouraging me to make bets on the Tour. Debtors prison here I come!

Contador's currently odds-on favourite for the GC and Cav is odds-on for the points, so it'll be tricky.....

I'd be happy to bet against Cavendish for the points. I reckon we have a spectacular public meltdown coming our way between now and July 25th. Can I make bets on mental disintegration?

He says he'll have the final scores done tonight.
