    Nothing in the foreseeable future, according to the calendar on my dashboard.

    Apart from the sprintfest in Dubai(Kittel, Cav, Degenkolb, Groenewegen, Viviani, etc).

    There is Volta a la Comunitat Valenciana. With eleven WT teams, Big names:-Nairo, Amador, Landa, Poels, Kwia, Nieve, Roche, GVA, Hermans, the Yates brothers, Phil Gil, Dan Martin, Sep, Fuglsang, Kruijswijk, Tony Martin, Reichenbach(special mention for Carlton Kirby), Pinot, Coquard, N. Bouhanni.

    Both covered live on Eurosports, from Tuesday and Wednesday respectively.

    Any chance of a comp on these? Preferably the latter for me. Or do we have to wait patiently for Abu Dhabi?

    WT races are not always the best races!

    Thanks for taking the effort

    Thanks for taking the effort Marty.

    I have to say that I’m disappointed with that list. And as there seems to be no negotiating, I’m not paying the premium. The tenner is inconsequential. I have always been one of those players who would pay more for a better product.

    Apart from enjoying the format of this particular fantasy game, and the competition itself. The main reason I play a fantasy game is to keep up to date with the sport I love. The above list of races in no way achieves that.

    Just checked back on all my e-mails, including junk e-mails, back to Nov 2016. I have not recieved this list. Anyway of seeing a copy? This will decide whether or not I pay for premium, or just play the Classics, and GT’s.

     

     

    This is the e-mail I received on 4th Jan- it has the subjectline “FC2017will open on 10 January”
