    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’d be great Dave. Is there a ‘cut-off’ point for the Pro Teams?

    yup, as many transfers as you like before the TTT

    the purists’ overall ranking will probably go live second week, since i most likely won’t have time to do it today and then we’re all off to eurobike 😀

    I probably know the answer to this question, but I’m going to ask it anyway.

    Is it possible to have more than one team in the Vuelta? I fancy doing the Purists League and the overall competition.

    From what I can see it’s only possible to have one team because it’s tied to your Login ID.

    Am I missing something obvious??

    That’d be great Dave. Is there a ‘cut-off’ point for the Pro Teams? Can they substitute riders up right up to the start of the race? I guess so. That way they, and us Fantasy Vuelta players too, at least get to start with a full team of 9.

    Agreed. I stuck with my team through the TdF, mostly because I was too lazy to transfer riders in-and-out, but I prefer to see myself as ‘loyal’ and to use bikedog’s term also ‘a purist’. I’m planning to extend my romantic notion to the Vuelta too. If anyone else fancies a league where transfers are eschewed I’ve set up ‘The Purists’ – 16377. All welcome to join, and on gentleman’s trust that you don’t sneak in the mid-Vuelta flyer /:)

    Maybe for the next one we’ll do a separate ‘purist’ league. Actually i might even be able to do it for this one if i get my thinking cap on…

    Lots of all rounders got the chop from provisional squads which is why we’re not left with many. Agreed, it’s a bit of a pain but we can’t shift riders from one category to another now, we’d be in database hell if we did…;-)

    Beyond the obvious ones my knowledge of Spanish riders is pretty slim – I’m treating the first week as a learning excercise on that one – I reckon that because rider values will change as the race progresses we’ll pretty soon get an idea of which Spanish riders are worth their place on the team. Hopefully 😕

    As we need to pick 2 allrounders, we could really do with a few more to pick from . . . like double the number of KM, PC and GC picks, as we only need 1 of them. But its a bit late to make TL an allrounder now :/
