    I've picked my team of random picks, just like my lotto numbers.. And I've created a league, number 16279.. 👿 What's the betting I don't get out of the bottom half of the league again? :''(

    That would be fantastic 🙂

    The fantasy Tour and Vuelta games have put the joy and excitement back into viewing pro cycling for me – thank you road.cc!

    So you might provide complete rider rosters for the season (25 riders per team?) and we ‘do the research’ ourselves for each race… that fill my mornings in the office quite nicely!

    I still think I would like to see all of the ‘classics’, the three grand tours and the worlds making up the season long fantasy game for 2011.

    Funnily enough, though, some of the smaller stage races – Tour Down Under and Tour of California last year, for example – make it reasonably easy for the average punter to find out who’s racing by making periodic announcements of teams in the build-up to the race 🙂

    yeah we’re currently thinking about how it’ll work. more on that soon… :?

    Any news on which races are likely to go into the new game?

    Might be easiest to have the Classics and World Champs alongside the three Grand Tours?

    I bet trying to get start lists in advance of the smaller stages races could be a bit of a headache.

    Fantastic… Cheers Dave!

    Can’t wait for the season long game next year… How about combining all of the ‘Pro Tour’ races?

    Dave, my 12-year old and I have thoroughly enjoyed the Fantasy Vuelta – many thanks. We were slightly gutted to finish 12th, just 9 points out of the prizes 🙁 We did the same in the Fantasy Tour de France, namely assumed the 2 KOM main-players would fight it out on Stage 20 ! Nope, we should have kept Roche, instead of swapping him for Moncoutie. C’est la vie – roll on the next year and if you have the stamina, a Giro one would be great, too. Tim and his Cyclic Cephalopod son, Hamish. B-)

    Danielson’s points have now been updated too…

    Thanks for bearing with us on this one, I know there were some gremlins at the start and it was hard for us to sort them out since we were at Eurobike… we’ve learnt some stuff for next year though. Giro? Deffo.
