It is several hour since today's race ended but the scores have not been posted yet. As you have decided to close team changes several hours before the next race starts it is quite difficult deciding what to do. Fortunately, the next leg is also flat, so I shall keep my (winning  1 )combo for another day. Hopefully, you will be able to update the scores more promptly (as you usually do) tomorrow.

Thanks a lot guys for the excellent Fantasy Cycling season.

Both Dave and Gkam are away, and ive literally just walked through the door from work and have to go out again, so scores will be u when I get back. And im afraid they won't be any prompter tomorrow (i can't see them being at the moment), due to work and moving house. Its the time of day the races finishes it not suited to prompt scores due to work

Despite the derision that this race often gets, it's interesting to see which riders take it seriously and make it a goal, e.g., Martin and Costa.

Dan is racing, but as Garmin haven't put out a team for the startlist yet, I haven't added them, you can find them in the drop down for ALL RIDERS

Any reason I can't find Dan Martin when I list "All riders" in the filters?

I've got guests arriving early tomorrow morning, so I saved this evening especially for choosing my A team and my B team - both winning, of course  4 - for Beijing. I open the computer all full of hope and joy. Alas, no startlist, no riders, no credits, nothing... Oh, China, China, the pains you've put us through this season...

I think you should be able to open a competition with all the riders that appear in the start lists of the 2 most reputable start list providers, namely PCS and Cyclingfever, (are there any others out there?  39 ), at least 3 , 4 or 5 days before a competition starts... Why not?...  39 We can always use the drop downs to select riders that aren't on the game start list, even if at the moment they show 'grayed-out'... I think that's fair and reasonable... Not that I'm fair and reasonable...  13

It would be very helpful if it went live now as I'm away for a couple of days with no access to a computer

Do you really need an official startlist to open it? I probably sound like a broken record, but just open it, and then amend the starters as you get the confirmed list through. That way people can just get a team picked and not have to worry if they can't login nearer the time because they have more important things to do. Never understood the fascination with waiting for all teams to confirm before you open the game, they're all subject to change anyway with late withdrawals etc.

I have to agree... There's 2 pretty populated start lists out there right now (http://www.cyclingfever.com/editie.html?detp=view&_ap=startlijst&editie_... and http://www.procyclingstats.com/race/Tour_of_Beijing_2014-Startlist)... Why not put all these riders as starters and let us choose other riders that aren't on those start lists by using the drop down?...  45
