Post by: Nuncio on 29 June, 2015, 02:44:35 pm: Thanks Oaky. I'll have a look later in the week - I don't imagine all the rosters have been settled yet.

It looks particularly tricky to pick from the top 4 favourites this year.

Post by: vorsprung on 03 July, 2015, 04:06:56 pm: I'm waiting for the riders available to be the same as the start list

Tom Dumoulin is missing for example

Velogames sucks

Post by: αdαmsκι on 05 July, 2015, 08:49:59 pm: Yesterday I scored a big fat zero. However, today Gripel bagged me 200 points for the stage win & I got some extra points for Kwiatkowski, Rogers & Rowe. Quintana, Nibali & Rodriguez better make amends for their performance in the mountains!

Post by: Eccentrica Gallumbits on 28 July, 2015, 08:08:08 am: I'm quite pleased with 6th place.
Title: Re: Velogames Fantasy Tour de France 2015
Post by: Nuncio on 28 July, 2015, 10:43:22 am: I'm very disappointed by my second-from-bottom. 1 DNF was to be expected, but to have - in addition - one of my team quit because his wife was having a baby,another disqualified for getting a lift up a hill in a rival team's car, and my main sprinter having to ride 17 stages recovering from badly bruised ribs was a bit of a bugger.

Post by: simonp on 29 July, 2015, 05:29:24 pm: I find it helps if nearly all of your team stay upright throughout the tour. And if they win it that helps too.

Post by: bobb on 29 July, 2015, 06:23:47 pm: I can't believe I made the podium! I spent most of the race mid-table mediocrity :)
Title: Re: Velogames Fantasy Tour de France 2015
Post by: TimC on 31 July, 2015, 10:45:55 am: The trick is to pick riders that complete the bloody race, not disappear in tears with broken bits after pathetic crashes! Stupid game, anyway.

Yes, I came last. What of it? ;D
