if anyones on this might set up league?

Daithi BC

Pretty happy with day 1:

Gilbert in 1st, Rojas in 4th, VDB in 5th and Voeckler in 14th.

May have peaked too soon.

Colmo52

1st,5th & 10th for me.


I would have had Evans aswell but i changed him yesterday.

Aoibheann

Added my "clean" team to the league. Currently the "unclean" team is beating it by about 20 points and three league spots (25th and 28th), not much in it! :pac: If anyone isn't happy with me having two teams in the league, I can remove one. But everyone should comfortably beat 'em both, I forgot to make changes prior to the deadline!

Idleater

(Irish) National leader too

It's a marathon not a sprint though.

Daithi BC

WooHoo!

Farrar 1st and Rojas 2nd. Rojas is proving to be an inspired/very lucky choice for my "I've got four points left, who will I pick" choice.

Signal_ rabbit

After being in last place the last couple of days, I have now jumped a whole two places.............! There's no stopping us now, tomorrow we take over the world!

Jawgap

Not doing too bad for day 3.........just need to hang on for a couple of weeks.

I'm sixth joint fifth!

I think I came second last in the fantasy giro so this is already a victory for me....

thanks - unfortunately I have to admit its down to dumb luck rather than any special insight (Although I fancy Gilbert to do the business today!)

Ssh! The national points leader can't profess it being down to luck. At least not in public.

* takes 2 day's yellow jerseys and admits same luck *

And with tomorrow's stage seeming to suit Cavendish down to the ground, I'm not feeling very secure in 10th!

ROK ON

The scoring in this league is bull****.
I have the yellow jersey, green jersey and another guy in the top10, and I still am placed nowhere in this league.
Very annoyed.

Is there a prize for whoever has the least number of cyclists left at the end? I'm only down two for now, but there's still two weeks to go.

there's something definitely a bit off on the scoring.. i have 4 of the top 10 GC riders, the yellow + green jerseys and am languishing in the 50s... if you take frank schleck and cadel evans, they're 3 seconds apart on GC yet Evans has twice as many points. i know Evans has tended to ride nearer the front but it seams a bit much... anyway. tis just a bit off fun

oh and ive lost wigo, kern, and chavanel might as well be out.. next year

evans won a stage

upto 31st think all my teams still riding

TinyExplosions

It seems fair enough to me, and clearly laid out here -so you only get 25 points for your rider being in yellow if he finished in the bunch, but winning a stage will get you 150

never really looked at it properly... GC points are only really gained at the end, so there should be a big change in the standings on the last day... still think the stage points are a bit off.. 150 for first is fine but dont think there should be that many points for 5-15th. especially on stages where the GC riders tend to roll in happy to be on the same time as each other. . . anyway, i guess it all becomes part of the tactics

Do these riders not know the importance of this fantasy league? Some of my lads really aren't pulling their weight at all. Brajkovic and Garate are out. Terpstra has done sod all. Does anyone have his email address? I need to tell him to get in among the placings. LL Sanchez finally payed me back for inclusion in the squad.

... thankfully gilbert is purely focused on being the top rider in velogames. the green jersey is just a bonus.

My team is doing a Voekler : trying to eek out as much a lead as possible whilst waiting for the favourites to inevitably storm past in the mountains. Aah well, at least I'm doing better this year than last year, when my bunch of misfits finished bottom of the league.

you should have received an email whenever you first joined Velogames and that contains both your username and password, so search for that in your email inbox

D3PO

have lost Vino, Wiggo and VDB from my team.

Real pity as I have 1&2 in the GC plus Nico @ 13th and Cav in the green jersey.

I could have done some damage if my team stayed healthy ah well
