    I love you, Steve. You represent all of us! 🙂 By and large I agree with you, except for the whiny, which you cutely call ‘grumbling’, side of you, which you innocently believe is not you. Priceless! 🙂

    I’m sure when I looked last
    I’m sure when I looked last night the “WHAT’S COMING UP” section on the fantasy site showed the deadline for transfers for the men’s road race as 1600 today (27th). Have just tried to make transfers (at 1430) but the window is closed.

    Was relying on this deadline being accurate as I have been busy this morning so couldn’t get to a computer to change my team until now. As a result I’ve now got only 3 riders taking part in the road race.

    TER…As I have commented
    TER…As I have commented before, my issue is with Dave and the owners of the game…..This game has put road.cc on the map and now they do not give a ****…This was the best fantasy game ,in any sport on the web, now it has become a burden to the hierarchy…. And when I grumble, and trust me I am not usually a grumbling person, I expect the owners of the game to comment, not you my friend…
    I started playing this game when it was free, service was great, problems addressed virtually straight away… Now I pay a tenner, service is awful, problems are addressed when it suits, and hardly ever by the games owners……
    If I can find a startlist then so can the games owners or whoever is running the comp… It makes me wonder at times when run by unpaid admins if certain aspects of the game are updated to suit…
    As for you TER I find you very patronising and at times annoying with your comments…You seem to expect 1- 9 in every competition and it gets tiring when you moan about continuosly high finishes, and moan about picking a rider you should not have…FFS we all do, a lot more than you do…
    However we all have our gripes….But for a tenner I just want a level playing field… I want a real startlist, a proper cut-off time and then a result within 12 hours….. The rest of the Bullsh*t, I can live with, except Enrique, I forgot about that ars**ole…. I want a mute Enrique button……
    Seriously though I still love the concept of the game, I just think it is being abused at present….
    Sorry if this offends anyone, but I am just being honest…..And TER I do appreciate what you have done to keep it ticking along this year, but I do wonder if it is just to suit… I hope that I am wrong…

    This budget is crazy! As it usually is with the women’s races. Probably because it’s only the same 10 people who can win anything. I’m looking at only 3 riders scoring any points for my team.

    120 credits is a really tight budget for the Womens race. Going to be very interesting. Fancy Dion Smith for the U23’s race.

    Im normally all for tight budgets but think this for the women is too far. I have 5 3.0 riders who you would say are unlikely to score, and so bar an odd surprise, the majority of the top 20 will come from riders with a value of 20+ credits, and without purely taking values, whichever way you package it you pretty much only pick 3 top riders.
    Unless you wanted a combo of say 4 riders in the low 20’s, but that would be a big risk to not have one of the the top 3 priced riders in my eyes, even extend down to evelyn stevens price, and there are 11 riders who could all win the race at pretty much 30 credits+ and wouldn’t be a stretch to predict say 6 or 7 of those being in the top 10.
    I think you get less variation of results for the women, less surprises, more the same group of high class riders but in different positions, makes it so hard to call.

    I know odds mean nothing in reality, but with the exception of Villumsen, of the other 30 or so riders with odds of 150/1 or more favoured to win than that, the next cheapest pick costs 10.5 credits. now that is tight on 120 credits. when you’d say at least half of those 30 are priced upwards of 20 credits

    Looks like some riders
    Looks like some riders missing from the men’s race too. Portugal down to one man with Goncalves and Oliviera missing. 190+ riders on the start lists I have found but only 176 in the competition.
