    I figured I'd pull this into a separate thread:

    [quote=drheaton]Here's a game for you then, pick three Italians for 50 credits or less, combined fantasy score at the end of the race wins. Only riders making it to the end of the race count, if your's quits mid race, they get no points 👿 [/quote]

    I can’t believe garzelli let me down so much. All his buddies in Vini were on Edgar, surely he could have scored a few more points…. #letdown…

    The format works best with
    The format works best with grand tours and I think native riders gives more variety.

    Three Brits at the tour would basically be half the teams with Cav, half with Froome then people scrambling around for cheap riders, unless there are no Brits under 5 credits in which case it becomes even less varied.

    The other thing is that with the format being what it is and abandons scoring zero the three week long races add a level of unpredictability to it and as in the Giro, being well out in front after week one doesn’t mean you’ll win.

    I’m happy to let people run other races but I’ll only be doing the grand tours with native riders.

    Or should it be kept as native riders??

    I think the Good Doctor will have his hands full with the Grand Tours(native riders)?

    Congrats to Alan.

    Thanks. Pure luck of course but a nice little game I was glad of after a poor first week took me out of contention for anything else. Worth having for the Grand Tours I think and the TdF will be particularly tough to call.

    I wonder what Santa Dave will find for me! (Not a pump please!)

    All from one team Bardiani Valvole. Unlikely to win, just want to support the little team.

    Proud of seventh from bottom
