Sad Day..
After 12 years of playing what I considered to be the best fantasy sports game on the web, this will sadly be my last season, if things do not change. The game still has the potential to be the best, however the games owners roadcc do not seem to have the enthusiasm anymore to match that of the players. Its the only fantasy game I know where as premium players we pay £20 a year and yet there are no prizes available, even a pair of roadcc socks for grand tour winners would be an appreciated token gesture. My main concern is that nobody from roadcc replies to questions on the forum and the failure to respond to mistakes made in scoring. I have some points missing from a race this year, reported it on the forum and yet heard nothing from roadcc and never got the missing points. Another annoyance is the shortened season from what we normally play with no explanation whatsoever, ie no Autumn Classics. I live in hope that Dave or someone from roadcc responds to this, and if I get some reassurance that things will improve then I will gladly renew my subscription in February. However I have little hope.. Steve.

No, because it isn't a thing. Can they reduce lactate production by 35%? Probably still no, but in any case, why would you want them to?

Good grief - do they mean it might be £150,000-plus-plus?

I too have been playing (just for fun - I'm not interested in prizes) as a "premium" player since 2012 and I'm very sad to see that the game seems to have been abandonned after the Vuelta without even the courtesy of an e-mail to current subscribers to explain what's happened. I shan't renew my road.cc subscription if there's no active fantasy game to play - it was the only reason I subscribed in the first place.
Im afraid the writing has been on the wall for a few seasons. with a very heavy heart I will probably do the same.
ditto
It really is incredibly frustrating when, having read many of the comments, the appetite to play is there but the game seems to be slowly ebbing away. I appreciate that it is currently run by volunteers but could not some of the subscription money be used to pay someone to run the game? I know we are not talking huge sums of money but it would hopefully make the time and effort required worthwhile to somebody. The game could just cover World Tour races to make it manageable (that is how it started off this season anyway). I would offer to help myself but I have no computer skills. I don't even possess a computer other than my trusty iPad!
