No, you're safe, I tend to come last in these owing to complete lack of knowledge! I pick a couple of names I recognise (regardless of knowing if they're in form or not) followed by a collection of randomers to get to the max spend.:)

Darkglasses · 13-06-2013 10:42PM

I spend about an hour meticulously looking up recent and long-term results, and still finish at best mid-table.

Racing is too unpredictable anyway!

I want to do this and pick the two Irish riders ...Dan as a climber and Nico as the wildcard....but I bring so much bad luck to people I think I might just pick riders I don't want to suceed !

Joined up, so lets see how I do this year -mid table I suspect

Darkglasses · 18-06-2013 05:48PM

The game is not so popular this year? Bump in case anybody missed it.

Its probably a bit early yet ...I have picked my team just haven't joined he league yet

I have picked a very good team I think but watch them all go home or finish no where ....sigh

Dr. Bre · 18-06-2013 08:11PM

think i was 3rd in the boards league in the Giro. Wanna go 2 better for the tour!

snollup · 18-06-2013 08:26PM

Just joined!

Another aiming for mid table mediocracy!

Imagine by picking riders I most likely putting some sort of hex on them. Should really load my team with Sky riders, really stack the odds against them!

thebionicdude · 18-06-2013 09:09PM

I am just double-checking the cortisol levels and blood values of my riders, one of them let me down at the giro! I will upload a team next week.

I spend about an hour picking the riders, then 3 hours trying to come up with a catchy team name. Then finish nowhere.

As sagen's price doubled since last year, remember him being dirt cheap in one of the leagues I did last year

Cork24 · 18-06-2013 11:05PM

Wiggins was only 22 points last Year now chris froome is 26 wtf ?

Chris Froome is out and out favourite....I have him in my team so I guess he won't win

Never mind that, Nico's way way overpriced at 8.

Still, have to have him and Dan.

Basically my team is Nico, Dan, Froome, Cav, Sagan, and then some dark horses...

Rita1 · 21-06-2013 09:32AM

I THINK WE SHOULD RUN THE BOARDS LEAGUE WITHOUT THE SKY TEAM, THAT WOULD BE MORE INTERESTING.

I guess if he is riding in support he will not have the opportunity to go for a stage win or indeed a personal GC position. However based on last year result he is not overpriced as he was not far off top ten and but for blow up in last TT might have made it.... so I guess based on that

His dad and Sean Kelly are both backing Contador and interesting remark from Roche senior saying Dan Martin would get a stage win as he would kill his own mother to be in a break ...strange .....probably recognises his ambition ( a bit like his own)

No Nico or Dan for my fantasy team...afraid of imbuing them with my jinx :eek:

torturedsoul · 21-06-2013 05:31PM

redemption for Contador!

AG2R · 23-06-2013 10:04AM

Was waiting for the league to be set up! Team has been done since I got the email it was open! Hoping for a better finish than 47th with the giro team!
