Fantasy Tour: winner Alex Long picksup his prize (pic courtesy of CyclesSurgery)road.cc Fantasy Tour winner picks up his prize bike
The Fantasy Tour de France is but a distant memory now, and we're gearing up for the Fantasy Vuelta with a tweaked game engine and a slightly amended set of rules – look out for that one soon! In the meantime winner Alex Long visited his local CycleSurgery in Chertsey to pick up his prize – a £600 KHS Flite 300 road bike.
"The bike is absolutely ace, I'm chuffed to bits", said Alex, who topped the Fantasy TDF tables with 1,800 points. "It's actually much, much better than I thought it would be. Anyway big thanks to road.cc and Cycle Surgery for sorting this all out for me. The guys in the shop were very helpful and informative. They also didn't laugh too much when I told them the geeky way in which I'd won the bike!"
We've been collating all the names and addresses from the other winners too, and we'll be sending out the CycleSurgery jerseys and road.cc spot prize tees in the next couple of weeks. And Fantasy Vuelta will probably be open for business at the start of next week. Stay tuned!
Dave is a founding father of road.cc, having previously worked on Cycling Plus and What Mountain Bike magazines back in the day. He also writes about e-bikes for our sister publication ebiketips. He's won three mountain bike bog snorkelling World Championships, and races at the back of the third cats.

How about just putting the 20mph limits in wherever there's been a traffic collision? That could change the nature of motorways though.

Is that Michael Vaughan in the England cricket shirt?
Nice bike. Terrible denim shorts.
