[Stumps]

There has been a complete lack of new forum threads recently so i thought i could start a new one off just for people to get back into the swing of things.

My aims are simple – do better than last year.

In all honesty i’m aiming for top of my area, top 10 in the forum scorums league and a couple of stage wins.

It will take a bigger effort than this year but you’ve got to aim for something.

Twybados too (although you could argue he had a practice last year). But I don’t seem able to catch him at the moment, been 500/600 points behind for a couple of months now.

19th in the FSUCI rankings too Joel…..should be enough for a spot in the ProTour division next season particularly as you still seem to be turning in the points.

Newcomer of the year perhaps…at least amongst the regular forum users(backflipbedlam would have been my pick for last year)?

Woo hoo, up a couple of places in my leagues in my first season.

1st in Bike Radar
3rd in London
10th in Forum Scorum
31st overall

Got to be quite pleased.

My goal for this year was to be 1st overall by the end of the Tour de France, because just afterwards my first child was due. Well, my daughter arrived a tiny bit early, so I guess it’s mission accomplished for this year. I’ll try to keep playing, but…

Unfortunately being muted wasn’t one of my goals :W

Didn’t write my goals on this
Didn’t write my goals on this thread at the start of the year but my main aim is to finish above 42nd overall. I was at one point 42nd in fantasy premier league so I’d like to get higher than that in a sport I actually care about.

I’m currently 21st in standard so it’s working well. Re-assessing my goals I’d like to keep my first place in London; let’s see how that goes.

And not crumple at the end of a stage race after doing well at the start (Classics, Catalunya)

Being ahead of Wig so far is
Being ahead of Wig so far is a +

Being knocked down to 4th in fs and 8th overall due to a poor Giro was not what I hoped for (would have been worse had I not been on my game for ToC).

Generally not been my best so far despite 2nd in ToC, 3rd in Med and 3rd in Algarve (plus a stage win in Algarve I think). Must be better in longer races (only 73rd in the Giro). Purist has been poor, down in 15th overall.

You have done so well! 🙂

Targets for the second half
Targets for the second half of the season are to continue my improvement in my rookie season. Have bagged a stage win in my first GT, led the standings on it for a couple of days. Have finished 6th in one stage race and am sitting pretty high up in my leagues including 39th overall.

Pleased as punch really, but hopefully there is more to come. Have learnt loads so far.

This is my second year and first year premium, Currently sitting in second in Overall Purist (non-Premium races) pretty happy with that.
Would also like to finish on top of one of the rest of the world leaderboards (my region).
Good luck.

Correction, currently 1ST 🙂 Overall purist (non-prem races)
20th Overall Purist all races

I’m sure I put some aims up
I’m sure I put some aims up somewhere but can’t remember where. Probably something along the lines of top 20 overall and a top 20 in the Giro (my favourite GT).

Basically screwed up both, totally missed the Giro del Trentino so scored 0 points and messed up a couple of early Giro stages making risky transfers so dropped right out of contention. If I’d scored an average 500 points in Trentino I’d still only be 38th, really need to up my game.
