Fantasy Giro d'Italia 2013

[Pedal Castro]

Just to advertise my fantasy Grand Tours game, site updated for current season although as usual teams have not yet released rider rosters so final selections are advised with a week to go. I have added a YACF mini league which you can select via "change account details".

[bobb]

Right. I've created a team 

Edit: And joined the YACF league....

[Dibdib]

I'm in

[Eccentrica Gallumbits]

I can't see how to join the league.

I've also set up a YACF mini league at Velogames:

League Name: Yet Another Giro Fantasy League
League Code: 30225732

My team in both is called Viva Colombia.

(That's 'Pedal Like F***')

[vorsprung]

entered on velogames..velogames is awful for updates or even just working properly but Mrs. V has a team on there

[bobb]

Entered on Velogames too 

[Mr Bunbury]

I'm now midfield. 

On the other hand I'm beating a certain ex-clubmate who has turned up in the YACF league; beating him is a rare occurrence these days.  If he's there, I'll have to rib him at the club ten tomorrow, then find out his username!

[Oaky]

It's been very close in the top half recently.  Lots of positional ups and downs.

I never expected Intxausti to deliver quite how well he has so far (OTOH, I've been expecting more of Lastras/Cobo).

[citoyen]

OTOH, I've been expecting more of Lastras/Cobo.

I have a feeling that being more in the public eye since his Vuelta win has hampered Cobo's preparation for races.

[vorsprung]

Cobo has been a frickin' disaster.

Mrs V is beating all of you lot with her velogames team http://www.velogames.com/giro-ditalia/2013/teamroster.php?tid=51802bbfa4354527

[Nuncio]

Well, not bad.  3rd in the Velogames one (2nd if Oaky had been thrown out for his EPO positive) and top of Pedal Castro's more select yacf mini-league where I had the sense to choose Cavendish.  Some of the jokers worked out well (the fairly obvious stage 1 for Cav and the TT for Wiggins) - particularly Santambrogio.  In the Velogames one, the 'what was i thinking of?' selections were Keldeman, Garate and Ferrari.  It's worth noting for the TdF the value of 'assists' - it pays to choose domestiques from teams which will be strong in the team competition and/or have strong GC riders.

[Nuncio]

So much for my sanctimoniousness.  Santambrogio suspended after positive EPO test taken on the first day of the Giro.
