Velogames Fantasy Giro

[smutchin]

I've joined, but will probably want to change my picks to something less random before Friday, if I remember... not that it is likely to make much difference to my performance.

 

[Pro Tour Punditry]

I have cobbled together a team of almost 100 points. Hopefully I'll remember to look back and change it cos it looks like something @Dayvo would select at present

Done it, i'm also going to buck the trend and predict great things for my team. Now, watch them all fall off the first mountain.

 

[Biscuit]

I've just had to tweak my team. The 'rider available' list has been updated.

 

[Pro Tour Punditry]

That's me updated my team to world beater status.

A carefully constructed, masterfully balanced team, full of promise and assured of victory.

 

[Pro Tour Punditry]

I'm happy just knowing I have no Astana riders in my team

And I'm sticking to this principled position again this year.

Bump. Anyone partaking this year? I have created a mini league for CC, join as you wish.

League Name: CycleChatGiro2016

[Dayvo]

9 Giro Fraudsters set to go.

ALso in, but pure guesswork as I've barely heard about cycling this year.

I don't have any Astana riders either, but that's more a judgment of their form than a principled stand.

As well as eschewing Nibali, I have left out Uran, who has had an OK season so far but I'm not convinced by him as a GT rider - he's like Porte, has too many off days. I fully expect these words to come back to haunt me.

Woohoo The Underachievers top after the first day's TT. No doubt it'll be all downhill for me from here though lol.

In total contrast, team CCC are a solid bottom of the pile after day 1. Only one way to go...upwards!! So very pleased to see CCC move up one place off the bottom after day 2. Was not expecting such progress so soon!
Looking forward to week 3 where I hope things improve - but I may be so far behind it will be too late by then.

It's a Grand Tour over 3 weeks, not a 3-days-in-Holland event.

Too true. I don't expect to stay top for long lol.
