Is the League startlist up to date? There are a few changes in the provisioal startlist not showing as starting in the Fantasy League.
Any thoughts?

I have tried to evaluate the
I have tried to evaluate the relative effect of “bad weather” vs. “new climb at the end.” I have opted to give more weight to “new climb at the end” so weighted more to riders with climbing endurance. My most significant omission, thus, in my opinion is Tim Wellens who is noted for being good in bad weather. I hope this does not come back to bite. It was down to him or Romain Bardet and I left Bardet in. So, cheering for the usual favorites (also without Simon Gerrans) and my two “grey” riders Bardet and Fuglsang. Don’t believe in Nibali or Kwiatkowski either for this LBL. Don’t believe form is there yet for the former, and not certain of endurance in course with lots of climbing and bad weather for the latter. This one should be epic!

Cutoff deadline in 30 mins.
Cutoff deadline in 30 mins. Race has started. No one minds do they, if I change team if riders fall off in 1st 20km like Felline did the other day. (No, I am not serious). Started the day with 2 “grey” riders. Viva le grey.

Dear Dave,
Dear Dave,
When people sign up for a game, especially a paid for one without any prizes, I think we are entitled to a certain level of service….
We should not have to scan through other sites to find startlists, we are not all nerds who want to do that… The information should be on this site…
I have played for 5 years now and I had nothing but praise for this site, the organisers and road.cc in general….
But since we have been charged for the game the service has been in a steady decline for the last couple of years. With the exception of TER nobody appears to do anything and the owners of the game appear to be having little or no input…..
From the outside looking in, it would appear that the game has put road.cc on the map… I certainly had not heard of them before I started playing. For the first three years I could not stop praising the site to my friends etc, and yet now the players who have supported this virtually free advertising campaign appear to be surplus to requirements…
Startlists are rarely updated, questions on the forum often lie unanswered for months, prizes have disappeared, incorrect cut-off times and yet I still hand over my tenner….. Its only a tenner but it is feeling more and more as though I should just throw a tenner down the grid….
I just want the service that we used to have, I dont want to complain……Am I asking for too much Dave…..

Well I cant get to a computer
Well I cant get to a computer to update the rosters and haven’t been able to since late friday.
And I don’t know if Dave is about so I cant really comment on that.
As for taking responsibility for the rosters, im sure I know the same as you guys do regarding who is or isnt racing. We don’t have any special startlist information that isn’t readily available to the public.
But like I say for once I can’t/haven’t been able to do anything

I’ve used the ‘not just
I’ve used the ‘not just riders on this stage’ button to select my team from the teams’ own lists of who’s starting (eg Sky: Henao is not and we’ve known this for four days, Kwiatkowski is.) I trust they’ll still be able to earn points.
Game team: it’s totally fine to pull a stage if you need to, there are only a few of you, if someone is very ill or has a family emergency or whatever… everyone would understand (maybe gripe a little, but they would understand). But leaving it like this really isn’t cool, it’s not fair.
Hope whoever is [i]hors de combat[/i] is or will be okay.

Does this mean the Game
Does this mean the Game organisators are not now taking responsibility for the official rosters?
By suggesting using the all riders list to select our teams you expect your clients to do all their own research as to who is starting
I have loved this game in the past for its ability to promptly produce start lists and results together with the banter on the Forum.
It appears that the game has survived in the past because of the efforts of ‘volunteers’ and all
thank to them! But it now seems to be falling apart!

Chill guys. As has been
Chill guys. As has been pointed out earlier you can pick who you like by making all riders visible.
Everybody I wanted to pick was there. I suspect those smarter will have found a gem who wasn’t, but I didn’t identify one.

No Gerrans available…so I’ve picked Mick Matthews instead…when the team info is updated can you please replace Matthews with Gerrans seeing as Matthews isn’t riding and Gerrans will be Oricas number 1 rider…
I’m logging off now and won’t be able to make changes until after the deadline…c’mon guys sort it out…

I swore off paying any more for it two years ago but I am a massive mug and it’s only a tenner. I am now getting all my startlist data elsewhere because this whole shambles has been a massive piss-take for at least two seasons.
None taken.
You can update your team tho!

You just select show all riders and then pick them

This shit with the start
This shit with the start lists has to improve or I’m off next year, its basically about 12 hours before the race transfer deadline and I still can’t update my team.
I really don’t mind paying for the game, I get a lot out of it, but really this takes the piss.
If you can’t do it properly for a tenner then charge £20 and get it done right, the teams have been available for about 48 hours now.
