Arse. I was wondering when the Vuelta was going to start up. Have mailed a 'thank you' to the chap running the site. It seemed only polite.

Speaking as the inaugural champion

There's the protour champ on Bikeradar - started on cyclingplus in the good old days.

Trouble is you have to play all year to win - but you can still play one race like the Vuelta and compare your results with everyone else on a simple spreadsheet.

It's the only reason to go to Bikeradar - but it's good!

Speaking as the reigning champion...

Gutted!!!! What are we going to do now?

This is free (with an optional 2 Euro donation) but no mini league as far as I can see.

That's a real bummer, esp. as I had a team that would have wopped richp's and Speich's teams with their legs behind their backs (my boys, not richp and Speicher ).

 

[Speicher]

Oi, I saw that!

Look what I found embedded in the section to change account details:

"this feature is a trial, to enable friends to more easily compare their scores on the ranking table. Email me to request a league to be set up for you, as there is no automatic set up feature yet."

So it would be possible.


Edit - just had a look and there are a few mini leagues already set up, so I'd imagine a cyclechat one would just be added if requested.

I'll send a request.....

2nd Edit - request sent.

Good spot. Do you want to email him?

I did, see 2nd edit above

I notice there is a "Joker" stage for every rider, which adds to the effort but also to the 'fun' I suppose

Good stuff.

A joker?
Did someone mention Soler?

I have submitted a team but it's subject to lots of changes once I get a chance to look at it properly - 50 points goes a looooong way

I have put in my details, and am waiting for a e-mail to get my notification code. Does it then become obvious what to do next?

Like choose a team name, and choose the riders? I had got the hang of Velogames.

Yes, very easy. You have free reign to choose anyone, not restricted to 2 x GC, etc....I'll let everyone know when/if I get reply re league....and update OP

 

[Speicher]

I am waiting for my notification code, how long did yours take? Is it automatic, or does someone press the right buttons tomorrow morning.

Let's see Valverde, Sanchez, and err....
