Well done Zoophonic. The tactic of picking a rider named after a 90s clothing brand is a winner. Is Jan van der NaffCo54 in the Vuelta?

Just out of interest, has anyone a league in the tissot fantasy league?

 

[borolad259]

I'm into our league ... team happened quickly.

 

[Mr_Fridge]

Just wanted to say that Mike who won our Giro league this year sadly died a few days ago. A passionate actual cyclist, he would think nothing of 100km+ rides in the Dales. He had no interest in football or the Boro (lucky him) but enjoyed the Velogames when he remembered to enter. A top man, passionate about life and work.

 

[Redpete]

Sorry to hear that Mr_Fridge.

It’s a poorly designed game in my opinion. You can win extra budget points by answering quiz questions, the site has a clunky feel and not a fan of transfers in and out and having to pick a daily captain.

Terrible news. That was some effort in the Giro.

 

[Zoophonic]

Team in. At least there are 3 potential winners in this Tour as opposed to 2 in the TdF.

 

[borolad259]

Btw, I should check your team against the startlist. I nearly had a rider who was in the game, but withdrawn from the startlist late on.

Thanks for this. Thijssen out for Covid almost caught me out!

Lottery conditions. Chucking it down on the streets of Barcelona

sorry! Just seen this! Thanks for your reply - looks like I'm on my own then.

Swift recovery, hey.
