    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? :''(

    Awesome job with the game and getting the scoring updates done in such a short time!

    Is there any listing of the fantasy team stage winners?

    Yes, big props to Dave for building both the fantasy games, my sole contribution was the vague notion that it might be a nice thing to do.

    We shouldn’t forget the unsung hero of all this either – Simon, he made loads of useful suggestions when it came to formulating the game play and along with Dave he’s been the one putting the scores on the doors and generally keeping an eye out for potential problems… and making sure they all got sorted too. Thanks to both of them.

    Dave and Tony (but probably mostly Dave 🙂 ), thanks for putting on Fantasy Vuelta and for battling through the glitches and gremlins – none of which ultimately prevented any of the fun. There were some incredible scores racked up, not by my team though. Anyway, I look forward to doing it again – whenever you’re ready. Thanks again.

    Hi guys. I really enjoyed doing this, many thanks for laying it on! Can’t wait for next year! Giro?! 😀

    A quick query – if each member of a stage winners team gets a bonus 5 points how does Tom Danielson end up with only 2 points from stage 21? :/

    Cheers,
    Dave

    Glad you enjoyed it
    Glad you enjoyed it thefatcyclist – hope the recovery is on track too?

    68th is pretty good going beats my 547th – I had purity forced upon me by Eurobike and my team never really recovered – well that’s my excuse anyway 🙂

    I’m not the keeper of the rules, that’s Dave, but my reading of them is that in the event of a tie the player with the highest score on the final stage wins…more on that tomorrow morning though. In the meantime congrats to everyone that took part – especially meninblack and saioarri who tied on points at the top, and an awesome displays also from the other five players that got over 2000 points.

    If anyone has any suggestions about how we can improve the game fire ’em in they will be given plenty of consideration before we roll out the next one. I take your point on possibly having more riders in each category – certainly be good to have more all rounders.

    Congrats to the joint
    Congrats to the joint winners, it’s been really enjoyable. 68th for me, not bad considering I spent the first few stages hell bent on being a purist, then I cracked. 😀 or I might have been higher up. It has been a great diversion for me since I am recovering from collapsing on my bike on 6th August and ending up in intensive care.
    Well done for the organising, must be a big job. Maybe a few more riders in each classification would give a bigger spread of results.
    Cheers.

    yup, you can – now updated. sometimes the vuelta site will simply leave a rider out of their provisional results, then stick them in at the end. that’s what happened to roche – we caught it on the gc but not on the stage finish

    Just happened to notice that today Nicolas Roche was only given 4 points despite being 7th overall and 16th on stage, which should be 4 points for the overall plus 5 points for 16th place…according to the rules anyway.

    Making me wonder how many of the other scores aren’t right, just haven’t got the time to go back and check them…
