    Okay, so we want to run a season-long compo next year which will take in the three grand tours and some other races too. But which races?

    It’s been suggested that the classics are a good place to start. here’s the classics list off of wikipedia:

    Milan – San Remo (Italy)
    Ronde van Vlaanderen (Belgium)
    Gent–Wevelgem (Belgium)
    Paris–Roubaix (France)
    Amstel Gold Race (Netherlands)
    Flèche Wallonne (Belgium)
    Liège–Bastogne–Liège (Belgium)
    Gent-Wevelgem (Belgium)
    Clásica de San Sebastián (San Sebastian Classic) (Spain)
    Paris–Brussels (France/ Belgium)
    Paris–Tours (France)
    Giro di Lombardia (Italy)

    Others under consideration are:

    Tour Down Under
    Tirreno Adriatico
    Tour of California
    Tour de Suisse
    Dauphiné Libéré
    World Champs

    The idea would be to have a season-long compo with the three grand tours available as a standalone event too. sound good? any more suggestions? the more the merrier.

    I am super excited to play
    I am super excited to play the full season this year. My husband and I were looking for a fantasy cycling game before the start of the Vuelta last year, and that is how we found road.cc.

    I played as a purist last time, and hoping I can keep my resolve and keeping it going this year too.

    Thanks for the game! The hardest part is keeping myself away from the scores during the day at work, so I don’t give away the actual race that I want to watch when I get home.

    and it will, the game engine is mostly built and we’re just dotting some i’s and crossing some t’s about the rules and the prizes and such. it’ll launch in plenty of time for the Milan – San Remo, don’t you worry…

    I have some riders in mind.

    Really trivial Dave but on the football one on http://www.premierleague.com and on one of the online cycling ones (sorry can’t remember which one), you can design a kit.

    Can we have a kit design for our team?

    😀
