    A touch ahead of myself, I know, but I CAN’T WAIT for this year’s Vuelta! I know that TdF & GdI were both up a couple of weeks prior to the big start; any idea when this one will be up and running?

    I need to do my obsessive stage-by-stage plan (that will be binned by stage 5), so want to know rider values :B

    Also I suppose there’s a ‘Pick Three Spaniards’ game to be run 8}

    Yeah. Got a reasonable idea
    Yeah. Got a reasonable idea for my purist, but standard is tough indeed. Short TTT = tiny time gaps = random scores. I think there are five or six teams who should be pushing for the win, then another four or five below them, then the rest (except one totally unfancied team will bizarrely get fourth place).

    The idea then would be to pick riders from the fancied teams who are likely to do well on the following stages. Trouble is, I don’t have a clue about stages 3, 4 & 5, and even stage 2 which looks like a straightforward sprint could get very windy…

    So basically I’m stuck. I’d probably do just as well by picking riders at random that add up to 160.

    And it’s going to be very tricky to pick the team for stage 1.

    That sounds pretty good… Let’s just hope there aren’t 4 GC guys in form that are a ‘must have’ at 40.0 credits each… 😕 Ask Dave to put up the formula you guys use… It’d be fun to see what it’s based on and how it establishes a value for the budget based on the field… It seems a little off and I’d be happy to look at it and make sure it always yields something above 150.. :O You think it’ll be open today?… In a few hours?… Will you be running the scoring?… :?

    Lol, i love your use of the thinking man Enrique! Adds so much weight to what you are saying, I think 😕

    Everyone got an email, it will be open tomorrow. Dave will be the main man with me on backup and NO, he won’t put up the formula we use nor any other details, because we have a pretty unique game and not going to make it all public so it can be copied

    I think it will be needed to make up for the million transfers we are going to have to make over the first few stages. It’s going to be a very tricky one.
