Thanks Bobb.  I've set up a team.  If I get the chance to do some research I'll probably be changing it.

Nice one. I can't believe we've only got three entries so far. Come on people!

Dammit I missed the deadline, my team was going to be built around Dumoulin too.  It was also going to include Kittel and he came 5th, beating such luminaries as Spartacus!

I'm slightly embarassed to say I didnt know the Giro started this week. (well, yesterday IIRC ... )

I do think this reflects how little coverage it gets. Cant see it on free-to-air telly, but I expect the Vuelta will be shown.

Same here,  I think it also reflects the lack of UK riders, which results in less interest because everyone focuses on TdF with the Vuelta as a backup for the GC riders.

velogames seems to have stopped working with the Firefox web browser I use

I can logon but it will not do "visit team" so I can't see the scores

I seem to remember having similar problems. IIRC a bit of Ctrl + F5 did the trick for me once I'd logged in. It's been like that for over a year - ever since they made a complete balls up of implementing the "easy login" plugin - which they still haven't fixed. Ho hum... it is free I suppose, so I shouldn't moan

I think it's great that our mini-league of 4 has entrants, from Portugal, American Samoa, Afghanistan and North Korea. Also that Kittel is out.

I'm now not feeling quite so bad about missing out with my Kittel / Dumoulin dream team.

Is there a rule that if a rider gets more than 500 Velogames points they have to drop out of the Giro? (unless you're in the pink jersey, like Jungels).
