Velogames Classic's League

Captain Havoc

Usual story, I've created the velogames league for the Spring Classics. The league code is 14222816.

For those of you who don't know what velogames is, it's a free fantasy cycling league, you select a squad of 12 riders. You can swap riders before each race. There are ten races, starting with Milan - San Remo this weekend.

Every single time I try to use that site, I spend the first five minutes trying to figure out how to create my team...Am I the only one that keeps missing that massive ENTER NOW button?

I remember having that experience alright. Now I log in, click 'ENTER NOW!', and it tells me I need to log in...

Having a bash at this too.

Heading towards the bottom of my list felt a bit like picking a Grand National winner by sticking a pin in the newspaper.

I set up the league but I couldn't find the button to set up my team. Holy God that ENTER NOW is massive, how did I miss it?

It's been updated since the Dwars voor Flanderen. Ed has been knocked off top and replaced by someone who used their real name.

Ah balls, I've only seen this thread now. Is it still possible to enter? (I know I'll still finish in last place).

Made up some good points from E3, had Sagan, Boonen, Chav, and Geraint in my team. It's clearly going to be important to keep your team full of riders who are competing in the races at hand. Having the likes of Hushovd or Farrar is worth nothing if they aren't in the startlist for the next race!

Have to say I'm disappointed Flecha hasn't been up there so far. Expected he would have a big year with Vacansoleil, I hope I'm not wrong!

I know it might seem counter-intuitive, but I'm going to try to use up more of my transfers on the Cat 2 races than the Cat 1 races. With a lot of big names missing from them, it seems like a lot other people will miss out on the points from those races completely, whereas everybody will probably have more or less the same big names up there for the Cat 1 races.

Scheldeprijs update is up.

****, I had completed forgotten about the race and didn't touch my team. Was completely focused on Paris Roubaix and whether Boonen and/or Spartacus would be fit for it. Schoolboy error. Only picked up 7 points from Scheldeprijs

FYI - Tommeke is out, OPQS will be racing for Chav instead. Haven't heard anything about Cancellara yet.

Well done to The Forspoken Ones' Directeur Sportif, took a massive haul in the last round to take the overall win in the Boardsie league. And happily enough, Not Last Again didn't finish last again

Til we meet again for the Giro!
