I'm in. I've only heard of one of the people in my team, and I chose one of them because his name sounds like a biscuit, so I expect to do well.

I've chosen people I've heard of.
I suspect that means that they are prone to spectacular crashes, long but ultimately doomed breakaways and not being as good as they used to be.

I made a rational and carefully informed decision. On a completely unrelated note, how do you get pinholes out of a laptop screen?

How do I join this mini league  ???

Once you have been given the code, go to your team page by logging-in with your username and password, and clicking your team link on the right-hand side of the screen.

I can't see the your team link.

Create your team.
Then go to your team page by clicking the name of your team on the RHS.
Then at the bottom of the page is a list with 'spot1, spot2..' etc. Click the 'join league' text.

And yet I've dropped from 3rd to 6th  :o

Somehow I appear to be in first place but only have points for Thomas de Gent. Methinks it is not working properly
Title: Re: Fantasy Giro 2012
Post by: Ray 6701 on 06 May, 2012, 07:41:24 pm
Showing no points for any of my riders or anyone else's for that matter  ???
Two riders in the top 8 yesterday & a stage win today so I can't be doing too bad.

Yes.  I only have 1 sprinter and no Taylor Phinney
3 of the sprint stages have gone now and Taylor Phinney is out.
Bring on the mountains

So I've just lost my first team member.  But that's bike racing.  I am still a resounding last.

I've dropped down to 3rd place but now have the race leader with Rodriguez.  I've also got a fiver on him to win with William Hill @ 12/1  :P

The cunning plan is working - up to 3rd now but at least one of my picks has gone home..

Yes, my points total in the yacf league and the team page are completely different

I don't think I'll bother using velogames.com again, they seem worse than ever this time!

They do seem a bit crap, don't they? It is hardly a difficult problem to solve (actually getting it right, that is.)

Well Thank you, but the last TT has not been added yet, so the result will properly be in tomorrow morning.
So I haven't won yet.
