road.cc fantasy cycling 2011
Okay, so we want to run a season-long compo next year which will take in the three grand tours and some other races too. But which races?
It's been suggested that the classics are a good place to start. here's the classics list off of wikipedia:
Milan – San Remo (Italy)
Ronde van Vlaanderen (Belgium)
Gent–Wevelgem (Belgium)
Paris–Roubaix (France)
Amstel Gold Race (Netherlands)
Flèche Wallonne (Belgium)
Liège–Bastogne–Liège (Belgium)
Gent-Wevelgem (Belgium)
Clásica de San Sebastián (San Sebastian Classic) (Spain)
Paris–Brussels (France/ Belgium)
Paris–Tours (France)
Giro di Lombardia (Italy)
Others under consideration are:
Tour Down Under
Tirreno Adriatico
Tour of California
Tour de Suisse
Dauphiné Libéré
World Champs
The idea would be to have a season-long compo with the three grand tours available as a standalone event too. sound good? any more suggestions? the more the merrier.

You're right--that was the other one. The relevance is that people keep complaining about how damaging the platform is, yet they carry on using it.

Fantastic choice of races... can't wait to get started!
is it not possible to have the Tour of Britain as it runs concurrently with the Vuelta..?
thought so.
Have subscribed to this thead in anticipation of the competition starting
and it will, the game engine is mostly built and we're just dotting some i's and crossing some t's about the rules and the prizes and such. it'll launch in plenty of time for the Milan - San Remo, don't you worry...
I am super excited to play the full season this year. My husband and I were looking for a fantasy cycling game before the start of the Vuelta last year, and that is how we found road.cc.
I played as a purist last time, and hoping I can keep my resolve and keeping it going this year too.
Thanks for the game! The hardest part is keeping myself away from the scores during the day at work, so I don't give away the actual race that I want to watch when I get home.
When can we start looking at the riders and building our teams?
Personally, I don't think we should be able to transfer riders during a stage race - in the real world they can't.
you'll be wanting the purists' league then
it all goes live tomorrow...
It's live!!!
I don't really like that I have to pick an expensive team leader and climber for the classics. Can't I leave them out and have a team of 7 or select two more domestiques?
No. you can pick an inexpensive team leader and climber though, if you like
make sure you join our 'beat the road.cc team' league too, #6493
More news on prizes later. They gunna be worth playing for, i can tell you that
But they are so expensive
Anyhow, I've got my team sorted and I'm on par with the road.cc team! It can only go downhill from here, I'm afraid. I'm too dumb for this
where's Haussler?
I'm in
i cant see hausler either.
Also can you see other teams selections if youre in the same league?
I was wondering that.
He's definitely not there and we'd better definitely find him. Heinrich Haussler shall return
hi, i can't think of a really good team name.
i would like one with a pun to do with a pro team. any suggestions?
Blue sky thinking ??
For a team lacking climbers: Col-No-Go?
Can't wait for the first race!
leotard?
