    Still finalising my team. Had a block thinking of a team name so asked my 4 year old. Team PJ Masks it is :rolleyes:

    It may be all for nothing...
    IMPORTANT NOTICE
    Due to a recent legal claim, entries into the current Fantasy Grand Tour game are currently suspended until further notice.

    It is fair to say I am absolutely gutted about this turn of events, but do not want to comment further until the situation progresses.

    At present it is looking unlikely that the current Fantasy Grand Tour game will go ahead as planned.

    Many apologies for this news, but it is for the best for my family and finances.

    Yours in fantasy cycling, George

    They didn't just give this fella cease and desist did they? FFS the ASO are really some shower of ****s if this is the case.

    + This new official one lets you modify the team during the rest days ????

    Not being able to change your team was the reason I liked this... pick your team once and that's the end of it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,240 ✭✭✭Robxxx7


    That is seriously bad news .. was going to win it this year as well :D:rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,556 ✭✭✭Macy0161


    There's me crashed out of Giro Tour double attempt. Hoping Froome suffers the same fate tbh!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 528 ✭✭✭All My Stars Aligned


    I had planed to pick the entire Sky team thus ensuring they had no chance of even finishing the Tour. #velogamescurse


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 497 ✭✭Bugsy2000


    So I went ahead and set up a league on the Le Tour website. I had tried to name it Boards Supports Velogames :) but was restricted by the number of letters allowed in the title, so it's now just Boards Velogames.

    League Code: 47SWU

    They have some funny prices for certain cyclists so there is value to be gotten on some riders.

    I think there should be a boycott of the tours fantasy game


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,556 ✭✭✭Macy0161


    I won't be entering it anyway.

    I joined it only because I'm extremely bored in work. :o

    IMPORTANT NOTICE - UPDATED

    Dear all,

    I am pleased to report that the legal issue noted on Thursday 5th July has been swiftly and amicably resolved.

    Should you wish to enter a fantasy team for this year’s Tour de France, please do so at the following link: https://fantasy.letour.fr/

    Regards, George.


    For the sake of clarity, the Velogames Grand Tour game will remain suspended indefinitely.

    So basically ASO won


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,931 ✭✭✭letape


    Very disappointing. Hoping it may reappear for non ASO races.

    Very much a case of the guy not having the means to fight them on it I think . They'll let Eurosport run one but not the little guy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 641 ✭✭✭DanDublin1982


    Should go the Pro Evo route.

    Who wouldn't want Crisp Fromm and Craig Van Laundremat in their teams!
