So this season the non-premium players can play a total of 8 competitions.
Will we know what competitions are planned for the season before hand? Or I will have to click “join” each time and as the season goes on, I will not know if I will be able to play the World Championships or Vuelta a España?

Nice. Whining sure beats being grateful for someone suppling you with something for nothing. Grow up.

Lol…Fancy telling someone to grow up with that name……So Funny =))

Ouch.

I happen to think a tenner is great value for a competition with great prizes (that I have no hope of winning !!) and year long entertainment.

Really surprised people don’t feel that’s worth the small investment.

Podium Cafe is free to play if he’s interested……he won’t actually be able to do anything after picking his team but hey he only cares about playing every race for free …..

the stage updates do now only take minutes to complete. but that’s only because we’ve spent the last four years updating and refining the thousands of lines of game code to make it so. and because it runs on its own, fast, dedicated server. the premium memberships help to pay for that stuff. without them you’d be able to play precisely zero competitions for free.

also: rich? money to burn? it’s ten quid.

Nobody’s forcing you to play you know #o

Couldn’t agree more. Where do
Couldn’t agree more. Where do the salaries and overhead costs come from? Plus prizes etc. what a ridiculous thing to say. You have a free game with 8 races, if you want the full package then contribute £10 towards all the hard work that goes behind the scenes.

If it’s that easy; in the time you’ve wasted with your infantile tantrums you could have produced a free world-beating cycling fantasy game that will take you seconds to update after every stage and have prizes better than those available here.

For the realists amongst us, over a year £10 is a miniscule amount (less than 3p per day) to pay to have fun, to whinge and moan, to get dissed by other players and to hope that for once you’ve selected a squad to win just one stage or badge or even competition.

If you don’t like the rules, tough.

Because it costs money and labour to run the game.

What a silly, infantile comment. Hope you are suitably embarrassed.

Spring Classics, Cri du
Spring Classics, Cri du Dauphine, Giro, TDF, Autumn classics, Vuelta, Tour of Britain, World Champs. That’s a good 8

If you wasted one of your freebies on an Aussie only TDF purist game, more fool you

because without money Dave and the team couldn’t run more than 8 races anyway?

Without money they couldn’t run any races. I can’t believe people moan about £10 for a year of this game, that’s great value.
