    Dave,

    Can we please get a “fantasy” App for next year?

    It’s just not so friendly on a mobile device!

    Aside from that, so much better than 2011!

    Keep up the good work.

    How about having a ‘team leader’ element added to the game? i.e. each stage you choose somebody to be your team leader and for that stage their score is doubled (like picking a captain in fantasy football).

    I really love the “team captain” feature in the fantasy football, so I think that adding this feature to fantasy cycling would be very nice too.

    I could do a mobile app right
    I could do a mobile app right now that would cover IOS, Android and BB, but it would just be a kinda bookmark app that leads you to the mobile version of the site

    The only problem with doing that, is it would have advertisements from making the app 👿

    Thats why i haven’t done it

    But i’ll wait to see whats being done game wise as Dave as said it will become more mobile friendly, so i’ll see if it needs to be adjusted for a app after that or if its working fine for people 😀

    Yeah, it is going to be challenging. I’m just having to remember the mantra. Two riders!!! @gkam – the fantasy page gives me no issues from my mobile – though – look forward to the mobile version. Yet the main site was a challenge – it would send my browser into meltdown. The new mobile friendly of road.cc is great for me. It would be cool to have a link for emoticons as remembering the key strokes is a pain in the ar3e. Maybe dave can oblige 🙂 if you doing an app be cool if you remember us crackberry users 😉 I know we are probably further down the foodchain but it would be nice to be remembered 😀

    I’ll try that, thanks. While we are at it, the discussion above regarding team set up is very pertinent.

    Choosing, even for the next stage is hard, only 2 from a team, so that is hard even for Sky, let alone any of the other super teams…

    This is going to be tricky…

    Yeah CarbonBreaker, while trying to port it over yesterday and this morning, I’m finding the adverts difficult to control, but then again, they need to be there, in the web version anyway, because at the end of the day, the prizes need advertising space

    I think it’ll become more mobile friendly soon by the sounds of it and i’ll still try and work something out for mobile’s in the form of a app

    @carbonbreaker – I’ve bookmarked the fantasy page on my blackberry. Once you call up the page in your browser you can log on as normal. This should do it for you http://fantasy.road.cc/team

    I’m using the iphone, tried a number of different browsers, and seem to get the best results with Atomic Web. The biggest issue seems to be, and I hate to say it, but all of the graphics, adverts, etc, etc of the main site, rather than the fantasy games itself, so if there was a way to only access the game window… (that particular frame/pane or whatever) then it would work really well. 😕

    Maybe I just want rid of the adverts 😉

    My wife is well into the idea of fantasy cycling so she can get to know that riders/teams in the pro tour. She has not logged in since the initial setup. She was expecting something like this.

    If your missus has time to check emails each day then why doesn’t she check the fantasy cycling site instead ?

    Yeah it is, I think there may
    Yeah it is, I think there may be a few different reasons for this

    1, we were all there yapping last year, so kinda know who’s who and get involved
    2, There may be people who are only playing for prizes and not interested in the social side
    3, Some might feel intimidated by the “usual’s” as they might not have little/none experience of pro cycling (not watched before, not watched for year….etc) and feel that we know alot, so are afraid to speak up? I’ll tell them now, i can watch all the cycling everytime its on and i’m still clueless 😉

    Many other reasons, but unless you want me to cycling round the country making sure everyone gets involved, then its going to have to be the usual suspects yapping away again

    Hopefully more people will get involved in the forum discussion’s as the season progresses, We dont bite 😉

    We seem to see the same names / signatures this year as last.

    there only appears to be a few of us who actually check the forum on a daily basis. 😕

    It’s all about looking up the stage profile in the Gazzetta, typing it into google translate, and then picking the wrong Chavanel and blaming it on Paul Sherwen. 👿 👿

    Yes i used to drop in false info here and there last year to try and screw with people who were only looking on the forum, not getting involved and taking the tips from some of the guys who were chatting daily 👿
