    In.

    Had to make the tough call to get rid of Nicolas Roche as I was one 'star' too broke to afford the 8th rider.

    Nico is decent value but unlikely to feature high in GC.

    Wanted all the IRE riders in the team but wasn't going to restructure other riders to do it.

    No Select a Stage for points multiplication like in other years?

    No idea what im doing!

    transfers
    "Throughout the race, you will have the opportunity to make changes in your team by using credits. You will be able to replace one of your chosen riders with a new cyclist by using 50 credits."

    How does this work? e.g. rider withdraws how do you transfer in another fella?

    Velogames is back up and running. They had to do a bit of a name change but it's all there if anyone is interested in the old format

    Get out ? When I saw this thread come up I was about to grumble about it not being the same as Velogames. Now to remember my password.

    In as well, have no idea if the team is any use but good to keep an interest in other riders besides the Irish ones

    Good to see velogames back up and running.

    You have 400 credits to change a rider but withdrawals are a free transfer

    Yeah the Tour one requires more strategy and montioring to be successful. I prefer the velogames set-and-forget approach

    Nizzolo pulled out and it cost me 50 credits to transfer him out.
    If anyone withdraws with Covid is it the same? Or do you get a free transfer?

    Picking both Pog and Rog was what did it for me I think as well as Sam.
