Transfers

Why can't we carry unused transfers forwards? That would reward those of us who plan ahead.

Also, can you get rid of the lame javascript that displays the transfer list only after a radio button is clicked, please? It's annoying to click a rider's name (either by mistake or to see past results) and then to click back and have no transfer list displayed.

I can't believe my luck! I made my transfers this morning and now 4 of them are not racing! I'm going to find a quiet corner and cry myself to sleep.

Maybe Andy Schleck had his brother in his fantasy team when he kept waiting for him on Ventoux.

I wonder if any of the pro cyclists do fantasy cycling?
And if they did, and say, Bradley W had picked Matt Goss for his team, might he consider leading him out at the finish just so that he could get more
fantasy points?

Erland, no apologies needed for your language

First question - yes, transfers are limited, but that puts the onus on players to plan ahead a little bit in using their transfers.

If that means choosing now before the Tour of Flanders (or next week, prior to Paris-Roubaix) riders who are likely to also ride Amstel Gold, that is a selection decision that you need to make.

Some people I imagine will go for the strongest possible team they can in Flanders and Roubaix and accept that they may not have a full complement of riders for Amstel Gold.

Second question - breakaway bonus for Gent-Wevelgem (and Milan-San Remo) was awarded as follows: "Breakaway bonus: 5 points to any rider in a lead breakaway of less than 10 riders that's away at half distance."

So the points on Saturday went to the earlier five-man break including Voeckler, Timmer, etc. The Stannard, Sagan etc break was well after halfway, from memory it went around 30km from the finish.

It should be noted that points scoring may vary from race to race, and between individual stages on stage races.

To check, go to the Fantasy Cycling home page, click stage listing on the left, then click on the name of the race or stage you want to check.

Hope that clarifies things.

another question : what is a breakaway bonus ?in other words why Stannard Chavanel Sagan Bodnar in Genk Wewelgem are not consider as a breakaway ?thanks

i m french so excuse me for my bad language.i think it will be very difficult to have only 4 transferts between Paris roubaix and Amstel.The teams will remove their riders at 80%.my opinion is it could be 6 transferts like you propose for milan san remo to genk wewelgem .Thanks for the game .i will invite friends to join the game for the giro

Thanks RoadCC/ Mr Farrelly & Atkinson for a gem of a great idea . Thoroghly enjoying myself here - wish i'd have started at the begining so I could have been up with in the points

I quite like these forums since they appear to have answered all my questions,without having to resort to typing anything. Er just one final thing , any insider tips for the next stage . . leave Cav out, he's typically saving himself for the TDF - by throwing himself to the pave' at every opportunity .

that loophole should be plugged now, sorry

Why do I get a warning on the "pick your team" page that i'm over budget when I still have credit left? I thought the restriction of 175 was just applicable to the first round. I now have 178.9 total but if I go above 175 I get a warning telling me to sell a rider. I don't see the point in having more credit than you are allowed to use. I'm not the brightest so I may be missing something?

you can remove wiggo and put someone cheaper in. just make sure you're listing 'everyone' in the sort options, not just the riders for the next stage.

Why can I not remove Brad Wiggins, it seems that there are no GC leaders riding this race, so this means I cannot use the points elsewhere.
