    Right, Its MY fault that the Early classics has become a bit of a joke. From the outset it was going to be Omloop and KBK, that was it.

    Seen as the season has been going quite smoothly so far for most, I thought I would reward the premium users with an extra couple of races and squeeze them into the early classics as a bit of a bonus for you.

    Unfortunately the KBK was cancelled, do to conditions outwith my control. I may act like god, but I do not control the weather. Sorry đŸ˜‰

    Now Le Samyn is looking like a bust aswell, because I cannot get a start list, I have even emailed AND phoned the hosts, to no joy I’m afraid.

    So……

    What would all your premiums say if Le Samyn was switched out for G.P. Camaiore.

    Thus giving you an extra day to plan teams, I have the full startlist, which I can update RIGHT NOW. Giving you three Italian races, back to back, with very similar teams. It would look like this

    G.P. Camaiore 28th Feb
    Strade Bianche 2nd March
    Roma Maxima 3rd March

    If this is not to everyone’s taste. Thats ok, but as of right now, Le Samyn is looking like a wash out I’m afraid

The more I understand and participate in these races (well the fantasy side anyway) the more I think you can stick your Premier league where the sun don’t shine. Well done Dave, Gkam, and whoever else is involved, keep up the good work. Best £10.00 I have spent this year.

    Quote:I see that the Rankings

    I see that the Rankings page says “Only riders participating in this competition are shown,”, but it’s showing 1,575 riders. I sort of expected that one day we would have that ‘Riders’ page back so I wouldn’t have to go to another website to see everyone in the race on one page, especially when the riders are already uploaded, it’s frustrating not to get that here

    Ok, cool. I see what you did. So nice of you. Thanks! I really missed that page. You made my day.

    Ok, now how about a compromise for those who like to see all 1,575 riders?

    Why don’t you keep all 1,575 riders on the Rankings page but add one of your famous “Show/Hide” buttons giving you an option to see ONLY the riders, and their values, of course, for the current competition(s), for example, Paris Nice right now?

    [quote=Gkam84]This page?

    Yeah, that was it, but it had the rider values in it and was sorted highest values first. And what was neat was that if you looked at it during the competition you could see what riders had the highest running total score during the competititon. It didn’t have the total scores for that rider for the full year, just the total during the competition, which was quiet nice to look at, and, to my opinion, more relevant than all of last year’s scores. Thanks! đŸ™‚

    I said keep the overlapping
    I said keep the overlapping to a “minimum”. Not don’t have it at all. I accept there will be overlaps. When there are two big well known races with good data (especially tours) so be it. But if the races in question are one day classics and some of them are minor or even VERY MINOR- pick one (the better one).

    I think have as many races as possible but keep the overlapping to a minimum. When there are lots of races all at the same time pick the highest calibre race with the most reliable data/start lists and leave out the lesser known races TBH.

    Finally I like the classics and linking 3 or 4 together for one (purist too) competition is good. Keep it as it is without allowing too many (any for purist) transfers. Its tough at times but games are boring if they are too easy :evil:

    But most of the time it is two big races overlapping, so I don’t see a problem with that, I’d hate to do a team for Paris-Nice but Tirreno for example. Same with the TdS and dauphine, Giro and ToC,

    Dr, I know the start lists are in the game, what I miss is the page we had last year when you could go to the ‘Riders’ page and all the participants for that competition would be listed on that one page, with their values, their team and their full name.

    I liked seeing all the riders set out on one page. I think the list was sorted by value.

    I know I could click on each consecutive page of the start list, I think there are 9 pages for Paris Nice as it stands right now, and see who’s on it, but I really miss the convenience of one page showing all the riders and their values on one page like we had it last year. I can’t see why that page isn’t published anymore.

Anyways, I hope it’s clearer, I guess if it won’t happen it won’t happen, but I can’t stop shaking my head saying “the rider data is already uploaded, why can’t someone publish the page like they used to do before”? đŸ˜•

    How come Sicknote Schleck has gained .6 in value?

    I think he picked up 10pts for a last place at some stage so if fantasy points scored in this game are a factor then that’s as good as an 11th place in the Omloop.

    enrique, you’ve totally lost
    enrique, you’ve totally lost me.

    Right now PN is open with a full start list.

    Start lists pop up a couple of weeks in advance of the race, try look for the Vuelta Catalunya or Pais Vasco, there’s nothing concrete about the stage profiles left alone start lists.

    Because of the way rider values are set dynamically per race until a profile is available it is literally impossible to set values and open the competition. The rider values depend on profiles so there are lots of things that need to happen before competitions get opened, its not as simple as confirming a race in the calendar, picking rider values out of a hat and rolling the competition out to players.

    Don’t get me wrong, I’m not asking a setup for every race at the start of the year, I’m just asking that, for example, Paris Nice is open right now, why can’t we have a start list with all the riders and their values up for Paris Nice, instead of the Rankings page where all the riders are listed, just like we had last year?…

    And I’m trying to take nothing away from Gkam at all… His efforts are incredible, I echo the sentiment below:

    Blimey… That startlist PDF is a handy piece of work…

    I’d just like to have that start page up when a competition opens, like with Paris Nice… Is it just too hard because people are so busy or is it a waste of time to set it up like you did last year?…
