    This was pain/heartache for me last time around. Like running out of legs on a long climb and seeing the wheel in front gradually drift away knowing there isn't a thing you can do about it.

    first fantasy cycling - is there a reason all other Boards league teams are hidden? Do they become visible once it kicks off?

    its not a bad idea in fairness, six nations fantasy rugby, nearly everyone's squad is the same as teams are fully transparent before and throughout.

    Finding it very tough to pick a team. Have a feeling I'll be battling it out to avoid being last.

    Boards league is missing for me.
