Darkglasses

Into the exciting part of the prologue now, I'm enjoying it!

Rastapitts

Any idea how long it takes to update the points?

Darkglasses

Was wondering that myself Rastapitts!

Rastapitts

I have Phinney in my team so gettin a bit excited

Darkglasses

Feeling a bit chirpy myself!

Have Geraint Thomas and Cav came in first for me today.

bren_mc

anyone got a url for the league table? can't seem to find it:o not that i'll be challenging

patrick151

Yeah, when does it update. I wasn't too bothered and just signed up for fun but i have both

phinney and Cav

so i wanna get a screen shot while i can

jay.i.am

I could be wrong but if i remember correctly last years Fantatsy Giro had to be updated by the author/creator of the league.

Darkglasses

The scores have now been updated up to the end of the first day (not by me). Signal is leading

It was some 'move' alright.

Not looking good for Phinney !

Darkglasses

Shocking, but at least

it sounds like Cav will be able to continue, injuries not serious according to the BBC and he was able to complete the last few yards un-aided. Doesn't look so good for Phinney, ankle injury.

Darkglasses

Stage 2 update is now up, Stage 3 update will be later this evening.

rurs

Any prize for the Maglia Nera? Unless Modolo comes up with a placing, (not looking likely), I think I'll be propping up the table for a while.:(

Funkyzeit

Given the controversy around the crash yesterday I think it's only fair if we end the league right now and decide placings on current positions....;)

manafana

Rastapitts

click on standings>>> team standings

gives you the top 300

(rider scores in there gives you all the actual rider points)

ednwireland

in fact we should stop the competition now and declare the leader the winner imo

Darkglasses

Here's a secondary challenge for you all - Can you name some past winners of the big races?
