who's going premium then?
Reading through the new info, it's not entirely clear if you can win the bike if you don't go premium?
"Podium prizes can only be won by premium users."
So, presumably, if you don't go premium, and you play the Giro competition, even if you were to come first in the points overall, you wouldn't win the bike?
Or have I read that wrong?

I am in... not that I am going to win anything
Done. Worth the money for the enjoyment alone .
I've been premium since.....yesterday
Ditto, but we missed our chance to get free socks
Check your gmail
Ditto your ditto
er, what socks?
Ive only just read my none work email....oops
Muppet.
If it would actually send mail then I would check it more often
damn! I didn't realise about the socks. I think I'm too late. Just signed up
Thought it was such a good point of yours that I would repeat, not that it will be me pipped at the post on past form
I raised that already Veseunr so hopefully it'll be looked at. I too would be pretty pissed if someone hadn't paid up at the start only to go an win it in the end.
Good point Veseunr (I hope not). Ive paid up too, Wanna win the Sky jersey, but don't know if i was in the top 100
If you started Giro standard, found yourself on top of the table, could you go premium on the last day to win the bike?!
As I have already paid £7, I would be annoyed if someone could/did.
In short, no. There will be a cut off point for going premium for each tour.
Worth it for the socks alone, the game is a bonus
It depends on how obscure your forum races are going to be really
You could set one up a spreadsheet the Halford Tour Series, nice pre-curser to the ToBritain with some of the same teams/riders involved.
I'm signed up and like the idea of extra races, and extra features (fingers crossed for multiple teams per account so I can run my purist team in the TdSuisse too). It's nice to see the new system (where you can pick a team for each race in advance so I can pick my TdF team now :D) rolled out to everyone too. I think it'll really come into it's own next year when there's a full calendar of premium races, I think some of the ones from earlier in the season (like the ToQatar, Pais Vasco, Catalunya and Romandie) would fit nicely in the premium calendar without diminishing the main game.
It'll be interesting to see whether the people usually at the top of the tables will sign up too in hope of winning a bike or whether it'll just be the regulars competing.
Fingers crossed it's a success and the game continues to thrive for years to come.
That's me signed up.
I can't see me winning anything either way but for £7 it isn't too much to ask for the joy of the game and the possibilities
I proabably will, if others are? Puts me out of a job with my spreadsheets though
tour of Romandie will be swansong
There's probably a few other little comps you can do!!
Going premium as well. Last year they had Evans, that wasn't going to last. For the price of a bottle of wine I think it's worth it. Cycling fever have a Giro game as well so might play that. No prizes I think though.
Nope, that's how I read it, prizes for top three are limited to premium users but by the sounds of it there'll be non-premium prizes too, just not £2k bikes
