Amstel Gold Race

Stefan, April 15, 2011

Hi,

I was going to make a couple of choices for the Amstel Gold Race, but it seems I have some 8 greyed out riders, not a problem particularly. However i noticed when changing my GC contender that Sandy Casar was not greyed out, even though FDJ haven't been invited to the race.

Obviously you guys have a lot to do, and for a free game this is great! Just thought I'd point it out and warn other people who may be making picks tonight and tomorrow. Double check against another source!

Thanks,

Can we have an undo function for the transfers?

Looks like I'm going to have to use the official start lists. I just added an FDJ rider to my team on Friday. Now I'm down to six riders. That Atkinson will do anything to try and catch up!

hi made some changes to my team on Friday but returned to the page today and none of them have occured. All the riders have remained from the previous race. Can anyone help urgently

Suffered with the FDJ debacle ;o) but managed to pick Gilbert and Rodriguez and scraped another point with Tankink, so not a bad day all in all. Not as easy to predict as perhaps Paris Roubaix or Flanders are. I have no idea about Fleche Wallone, is it a similar style parcours to Leige Bastogne Leige?

Not my finest day, but at least I listened to Geraint Thomas's tip about Simon Gerrans, so far from a washout

So getting 30 points wasn't as bad as i thought, now away to watch the race in HD as i've been out doing a TT all day, so had to sky + it

Argh! Of my picks, I think I saw Spartacus crash down, taking out Koen de Kort, blocking Taraamae and I think Nocentini was also involved. At least Gesink got me some points, but if there was a bad luck prize, I'd be in the running today.

40 points for me - not bad considering I was unable to field a full team of starters.

Not doing too badly (105 points) considering I missed the first two stages and my riders missed out big time at Roubaix (only 17 points form the hell of the north). Shame I've got to pick my FW team today (as away until Thursday).

Any chance of allowing us to remove all four riders from our rosters before replacing them? Would make life a lot easier when trying to sign a big name for a particular race.

Unlucky, same happened to me in the Paris Roubaix, where four or five of my riders were taken out by one big orange bugger

@yourpaceormine funnily enough tried making just that change to the game the other day… but it broke it. We will introduce that soon though - probably when the classics are finished though.
