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.

Well having lost Wiggins and van den Broeck, apparently I've now lost Gadret too. /o\

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

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

Bump for pretty much 2 weeks as national and boards leader. Great work by the team. Keep it up!

no, if I was, I wouldn't be doing well at all

Poor aul Thomas De Gendt was the only guy in my team not to score points yesterday.

I must look up the scoring system but what I found interesting was that Cavendish got 166 points for winning stage 15 and Hushvod got 178 for stage 16.

they got the same points for winning the stage. Points for other things like intermediate sprint, being in a breakway etc have to be considered aswell

It seems that Board's have a Director Sportif in the making.:D

not done well the loss of 3 of my gc men early on, and injury to gesink making him pretty much non existant.

Idleater is overall National Champ!

Great team that made the tour all the more interesting to follow. Still awaiting today's and the overall point to be added.
Obviously my random selection was down to luck, but they were consistently scoring well over the three weeks.

petethedrummer

Do you think you could do the Giro and the TDF double next year?

AG2R

25th in the Boards
5th in "the tour fastest to paris wins"
51st in Ireland.


Bit like Roches tour :pac:

Ah, apologies - I didn't realise it wasn't the final total. Hope I didn't get your hopes up, and that you retain the title anyway! edit: you're 1300 points ahead, I think you might have this one in the bag. And currently second overall on the site - fair play!


What's the prize? :P

Aoibheann

I'm delighted to report that my team of alleged dodgy cyclists finished third from bottom (EDIT: Actually, with yesterday's points, it's last! \o/) .:P Granted, half of them crashed out/got injuries and couldn't continue, but one of them actually did test positive during the Tour (Kolobnev). Shocking stuff.

Sure, my clean team only finished about 15 places higher, but still! A lot of the usual good performers in the Tour on my team (Cancellara, Chavanel) underperformed, alas.

Ha ha ha ... ha ha..

I think I'll quit while I'm ahead :P

Ended up 4th overall just like Voekler hanging on in there

What I liked about this game was that there were no transfers. If there were transfers I'd have been constantly tinkering with the team and progressing further and further down the order.

At least now I picked the team complete with a few random guesses and the rest was down to luck, to put it in perspective I think last year I finished last

to the doping control...

Tony MARTIN [10]	THR	500	picked as a cav leadout man and a possible TTer
Cadel EVANS [20]	BMC	2199	picked as I was doing a Anyone but Frandyodor
Samuel SANCHEZ [20]	EUS	1264	picked as I support Orbea, and I like him as a climber
Damiano CUNEGO [12]	LAM	711	picked as I thought I remembered him from the Giro - after hearing about Gadret and the Giro I was very lucky he did as well as he did
Thor HUSHOVD [16]	GRM	1322	picked as he was cheaper than Cav and I reckoned on him picking up a stage or two
Pierre ROLLAND [4]	EUC	637	knew nothing about him so pot luck
Philippe GILBERT [8]	OLO	1054	remembered him from the spring classics but again this essentially should not have counted for much in the tour
Rein TAARAMÄE [6]	COF	400	knew nothing about him but he was a *01 number so reckoned he'd be a supported team member and he was cheap.
Thomas DE GENDT [4]	VCD	169	again a complete guess.

14th. I'll take that.

Right behind you on 15th - great run for Idle Eaters, well done.

I had my moment in the sun but it all fell apart when we hit the mountains! And Wiggo did his collarbone - thought he was going to be on the podium.

Gadret also let me down - "null points"!!

ROK ON

Well done Idleeater.

I came in 13th in Boards and 3rd in Fastest To Paris wins.

Esroh

Well done Idleater.
Paris was not good to me
Dropped to 12 in B's league and to 24th in Ire
