    Well, I Can’t really believe the end of the season is almost upon us!

    I must say I’ve had a really fun year with the fantasy cycling! A Highlight being a stage win in a grand tour, (Stage 14 of the Tour De France.) As well as some other really close calls.

    How has everyone else enjoyed the season? What were your High’s and Low’s?

    PS – just filled in my questionnaire about the game for next season. I said I loved it, which I do. The changes I suggested were…

    1) More women’s races (Paris, London, Flanders, Worlds);
    2) Opening the races earlier with provisional startlists;
    3) Differentiating between Purist and Standard in one-day comps eg Spring Classics (maybe 5 transfers per race).

    And a fourth I forgot to mention should’ve been – sort out when prizes get sent out, and keep us informed! Still no sign of my rucksack from Romandie and no reply to my last email about it. Not an issue for me, but might turn off some people.

I have learned a lot about road racing over the last 12 months, and am still learning everyday.
    Thanks to everyone who plays (from the land down under).

    Congrats, I just couldn’t make up any ground in the last week after a poor middle and ended up 3rd. The 2 transfers I made in the first week costing me a hatfull of points stopped me from being closer, but it was a good battle

    Ah, I think you did ok… Nice to hear about your plans for next year… I do agree with you about Wiggins though… but don’t you think you’re selling Froome a little short?… :?

    And so he returns! 😕

    Thoroughly enjoyed it as usual but disappointed with my own results…. Next year I intend to pick riders who don’t fall off as much…. Respect to Nibali and Yorkshire but I thought the TdF was a let down due to the tumbles… Highlight for me has been Contadors Vuelta, speed of his recovery has been astounding…. Still think Sky were mad and also a little disrespectful not taking Sir Brad to the TdF, and the cycling gods seem to agree as Sky are looking a little ordinary at the moment… I hope next year that G is given a more prominent role in the team….

    Heh heh, I got one in the Giro.

    Pleased with my first season, still learning the ropes though. High expectations set for next year.

    I’ve really enjoyed this year – been a bit more relaxed about the game and that has helped my overall enjoyment of the races as a spectator!

    Lows – Early bad luck with purist picks crashing in the first couple of stages (Meersman in Paris-Nice, Tejay in Romandie, Dan Martin and Rodriguez in the Giro), I was lucky enough to avoid that kind of thing last year. And then Froome and Contador in the TdF but I’m sure that was pretty common.

    Highs – 4 Forum Scorum wins (I think) including the women’s world cup, none of which I watched. Still without a Grand Tour stage win in three years, mind. (Having said that, Sky didn’t win a stage in a Grand Tour this season either…)

    Outside the game, my favourite race this year was probably Nibali winning in Sheffield, I’d love to see a one-day race on that terrain, it really did look brutal the way they raced it so hard. Or maybe Stannard in the Omloop H-N. And van Avermaet’s attacks made Flanders really memorable this year as well, I’m hoping to go over to Belgium for that next year.

    Gerrans for the Worlds and Rodriguez again in Lombardia?
