Are we doing the velogames fantasy Giro D'Italia again?
who set up the STW league last year? RealMan wasn't it?
I've not even got round to sorting my team yet, but if there's not an STW league by then I'll set it up.
well if RealMan doesn't set it up in the next couple of days, then I will.
my team is ready to unleash
Yep, I'm game.
Team TiRed will be in, once I've sorted the back room bickering over who's going to be team leader.
STW Forumites League - 02073844
thanks hoppy, I've joined.
Yeah, I'm in
I'm in.
I'm in.
Is there a highlights show on each day?
Highlights are on Sky Sports. Eurosport is showing it live, so probably has repeats/highlights too.
Cheers muddyfool, could not find it last night. Sky box set to record. I am looking forward to this one!

May I suggest http://fantasy.road.cc/
IMHO better looking and easier to use with more info on riders…. But most improtantly probably a better game.
It allows tranfers of 2 riders a day (more on a rest day) keeps you looking at the results and thinking about what to do with your team for the next day’s stage.
(although you can race as a “Purist” and make no changes to your team once selected)
No need to pay for the “Pro” game… I just use the free version and there’s an STW league already setup.
I have no connections to this site …. I’m just the winner of the STW league Spring Classics campaign 😀
I’ve been waiting weeks to mention that 😆
sounds good ro5ey, but too much effort for me
it took me 5 mins of thought to craft my squad for the velogames one, and that was because I couldn't find a team with riders I'd heard of that cost under about 120 points
I haven't the time or skillz to play a proper league
oh, well done on the classics, though. Did anyone else enter ? 😉
😆
Probably not ... Yeah me
😆
I'm in too. Will take a look at Ro5eys option too.
we don't like change Ro5ey 🙂
im in too
In
In! Almost a random selection bar the inclusion of Bradders 🙂
its gonna be an interesting one this I reckon.
even though sir Brad has done climbing specific buildup, will he hold Nibali on those last big steep mountain stages? have a look at them- the last in particular, SEVERE.
What with time bonuses for stage wins, Sir Wiggo will need a sizeable margin on the TTs in my view.
Mind you, if he can hold his own on those climbs then his rhetoric earlier this week rings very true.
😛
i'm in
i won the STW vuelta league last year with my 'drug taking bert-stards' but i'm not confident for 'wet with my tears' this time around
the giro is a bit harder to pick for so i've thrown in a couple of mental break away artists for sh*ts and giggles
I'm in. Couldn't think of a name
In in. Not going with Brad, so if he wins great, if he doesn't then there's some small comfort.
In, cue humiliation. 🙄
justgofaster are ready for pain. Did well last year (third in TdF), looking to do the same 😆
Excellent! I'm in too.
I'm in. First time in the STW mini league but have been supporting velogames for years., love it! I've tried the road.cc one before but don't like the transfers. other than that its very good.
The chorlton hipsters are ready to take the road.cc league by storm....purist here (too lazy to make changes everyday)
Team jockonabikesadventures are in again,,,,
10th - that'll be my zenith
15th but henao, betancur and nibali are going to clean up in the hills for me...
15th but henao, betancur and nibali are going to clean up in the hills for me...
I've got those three and also got the same points as you this week (you were actually joint 11th, not 15th).
Can't really read too much from today, but I'm beginning to suspect that not having any Cannondale riders was a mistake. They looked very tidy.
Why am I in 22nd place when I have 312 points?
Is it slow to update, or does the minileague show daily standings?
wiggins behind another crash!
Cobo is down once again
this man needs some lessons in how to ride a bike - I think he's fallen off at least once in every stage!
good job the peleton decided to wait - that could have been Bradley's race
looks like Omega Farmer Quickstitch got it right this time!
Go Cav!
Up to second! Woop woop, etc. 😀
It's getting lonely up at the top...
How'd everyone do then? 6th place for me in the Velogames STW league. A few obvious places where I went wrong in hindsight. Did much better on the RCUK league with a worldwide top finish.
12th. If I'd gone with uran instead of henao as per my first instinct I'd be much better off.
Gatto and minguez let me down badly.
Top by just over 300 points.
Hesjedal ended up being a huge waste of money and I should have gone for Uran instead of Henao, but Santambrogio and Betancur did the business. (And Cavendish and Nibali, obviously.) 8)
5th, which wasn't too bad considering 4 of my guys didn't really turn up!
Ignoring my poor selection choices, the weather and the abandons really had an impact on this race in a way we haven't seen in a grand tour for years.
Mid table for me and about right. wish I had included some Columbians!
