    I had the temerity to create a mini-league on the Halfords TdF game called “road.cc ex-pats”, password is “clenbuterol”.

    If anyone is going to win their Boardman bikes then it might as well be one of us. They only have one transfer window a week so it won’t clash with the _real_ league on road.cc.

    Just a thought (shamelessly nabbed from the Premier League’s fantasy football game from last season):

    How about the ability to carry over one of your daily transfers to the next day if you don’t use them both (up to a maximum of 1 carry-over, so you only ever get a maximum of 3 transfers for one day).

    It could lead to a bit more strategic thinking (or am I the only Tinkerman round here who uses both transfer options every day).

    i’m glad someone else has taken the time to read the rules of the halfords one, i know a lot more about it now đŸ˜€

    so far my team is just a lucky dip… doubt i’ll be troubling the leaders.

    thanks for all the positive comments on the road.cc game. Any suggestions to make it better are also welcome!

    I think the daily transfers
    I think the daily transfers make it so involving. Plus if you missed your weekly transfer window then you’d be screwed if your team was set up for flat stages in one week, then the next week was all about mountain finishes.

    I’d say roadCC is much better
    I’d say roadCC is much better – far more challenging!
    only thing I think maybe better is transfers for the week, rather than by day. 2per day leaves me pretty tired by the end of a tour! Also the freedom to use you budgeted changes on any day within the week allows more different strategies to be used & would mean teams would not end up as similar as they probably do now by the end of a race.

    If anyone feels they’re waiting a long time to get approved to the Halfords mini-league it’s because my work have blocked it. I’ll do it all when I get home tonight.

    They haven’t – as we say in the intro to the TDF Preview, we’re adding those in within the next day or so.

    Not sure why you have the impression they’ve dried up though – true, we didn’t have tips from him for the last race, the Tour de Suisse, but that was because he was riding the Dauphine at the same time (which he did give tips for).

    I’d love to join, my team is called Leopard Trekkers.

    What I love about it is the 3d jerseys that you get.

    Oh yeah, and all the prizes, and the team picking thing.

    I have a suggestion for this one though, how about publishing the highest scoring combination of riders, a bit like they do in fantasy football…

    And how come Geraint’s tips have dried up? @)

    Road cc game is much better,does require some knowledge to pick a reasonably good team. Also the restrictions are fairer for everyone. Not sure how the others will pan out.

    Too add. I like the rider classifications (GC, PC, KM etc) and the restrictions this imposes. Makes you have to think outside the box. Just being able to pick all the best riders isn’t a game. Its a list. I like the restrictions.

    Certainly the road.cc game is by enthusiasts for enthusiasts and should stay that way. But the more people click the lucky dip button on the Halfords game, the more chance I have of winning a second Boardman.

    I’ve already said I’d like the road.cc game to abandon the prescribed make-up of teams. One man’s domestique is another man’s all-rounder. What if a rookie beats the whole bunch in a sprint? What if you spend 40.0 on a captain who then spends the next day on bidon duty? Just let us spend our money where we want.

    But look at the prices on the Halfords/RCUK/Toy’R’Us game – 2.5 for Andre Greipel???

    I agree with letsgoup. Its like in Halfords doesnt win who is best. Every fool can win it cause they just need to take all favorites.
    Whats good are the prizes đŸ˜€ and nothing else.
