Fantasy Vuelta: the final prizes round-up

It's had its twists and turns and it's deposited us here: in Madrid, with the oldest Grand Tour winner ever. Chris Horner wrapped it up on the Angliru before the procession into Madrid, leaving a string of European talent in his wake. But you already know about all that. What you want to know is: what happened in Fantasy Cycling? There was a bunch of great prizes from Halfords to be handed out, so who ended up with what?

What happened to long-time leaders team Dag Otto Lauridsen, unfortunately for them, was that they were finally overrun on the slopes of the Angliru to be replaced at the top of the overall table by team Scorekeeper. And as if that wasn't bad enough, they slipped a further place on the final day to cede second place to team jayna by just one point (3,134 to 3,133), with team Scorekeeper ending up victorious by a fairly impressive 72 points on 3,206.

So it's team Scorekeeper that wins the Boardman carbon fibre road bike, with teams Dag Otto Lauridsen and jayna netting a pair of posh Lake CX331 shoes respectively. Over in the Purist league, team Rouleur's revenge took the win by a comfortable 135 points from team blackheath wheelers to become the winner of a Gore Phantom 2.0 jacket.

We hope you've enjoyed playing our Fantasy Vuelta, and a big thanks to Halfords for supplying the prizes. That's the last Grand Tour of the season out of the way but there's still more racing to come and it'll all be bigger and better next year too. Stay tuned for that!
