Velogames Giro d'Italia

Darkglasses

Ladies and Gentlemen,

The Velogames Giro d'Italia is now live.

www.velogames.com

With a very nice, more user-friendly interface.

Boards.ie League Code: 30150550

Darkglasses

Seems like the mini-leagues aren't fully functional yet, shouldn't be too much longer.

Flandria

Rockers Uptown in, ta.

Darkglasses

Is the league I made working for anybody else? It isn't working for me. Tried making a second one there now, and it doesn't show up either.

Does somebody else want to have a go? I can join other mini-leagues.

Flandria

Yes there is something wrong. I show up in the other league but not Boards. Also the other league only shows me and I know that others have joined. Probably just a glitch...

Flandria

I just created Boards.ie league and joined ok - so try 30150550

dont think it lets you do that until the race starts (and you cant change your riders)

Brad768

Only started watching cycling at the start of this season so only know around 5/9 of my riders...should be interesting

Am I the only one in the boards league or am I just doing it wrong - team NMG has got off to a relatively predictable start gaining a few points on Cav and not much else.

Did you join the old league? New code is 30150550, there's 57 teams in there.

NeedMoreGears

Thanks Buffalo. I re-entered the code and all ok.

Now to see whether picking my team was five minutes well spent or not

'hope the recovery is going well.

riparooo

I'm in - Team Faster. Slow start yesterday!

I vote we close the competition after stage 1 and declare whoever's on top of the leaderboard the winner.

Very impressive start!!

My own Riis's Pieces have made an uncharacteristic good start. But where are the perenial high-achievers Rockers Uptown?

Yeah its gone well, took a punt on two less valuable sprinters ratther than CAV, hopefully it works out. Some strong mountain teams in the game as well though. I've tried to cover sprints, GC and TT's

The "Team Story" now live. It's very, very cool, tells you where you picked up your points.

Brad768

yeooo sitting in second place. I just thought I'd point it out now, because I don't know where I will end up in 2 weeks time

Cadel Evans has been a good pick for you and all your riders are scoring
..I have two riders that haven't even registered yet

Was surprised to see some people had Ivan Basso even though he was listed at a non starter two days before the race began !

Rastadoyle

henao got me a surprise 4th today. pirazzi its been to good to me also gettin mountain points etc..

I've deleted a number of posts as they did not include spoiler tags. Next time I won't be so generous and cards can be expected

Rastadoyle

where in this thread does it say use spoilers!

It doesn't need to say it in the thread because you should have read it in the charter :P

For non-stage-specific threads about stage races (e.g. "TdF 2011"), use spoiler tags until midnight. Don't post anything which even hints at a same-day race result in a non-stage or -race specific thread before midnight.

There's also a "Seasonal Reminder" sticky that repeats the rules regarding spoilers

In addition, do not discuss modding in-thread - PM the Mods or report the post

nice touch by velogames guy, he changed all the jerseys to the same 'black with nbr 108' in respect for walter weylandts as it was the anniversary of his death yesterday
:cool:

joker77

1 more day to go with Paolini in yellow I reckon.

I'm sitting pretty at the top of the table, but after today probably Cavendish or Paolini won't pick up much more points for me - the real GC contenders will start to take over

I used up my last points on Poalo Lastras ...he finished last yesterday !

It seemed like any race I watched this year, if he was racing it he was there or thereabouts at the end, so thought he was worth a shot
