Gkam – I agree, with the Gkam – I agree, with the emergence of Sky i seem to cheer them on regardless of their nationality. But if they aren’t at the front i have my fantasy team riders to cheer.
However there was nothing better than seeing Voeckler in yellow hitting the front, proper bike racing. 😀
I can only really speak for I can only really speak for myself, but i have seen others saying the same, I really enjoy the racing and this game give it an extra edge.
From a personal stand point. Before i used to just enjoy watching it, but now i have riders to cheers on, but only the guys in my team at the time, lol, sort of like watching a football match with two teams you dont support, take for example, Man Utd vs Chelsea, there are a few players i dont like and a few i do, so i cheer for the ones i dont like to get snapped (Rooney) and the ones i like to play well
I’m now doing this with racing, so say i had Dan Martin and him and J-Rod were on a climb, i’d be wishing J-Rod would slip a gear or get a puncture or anything to slow him down, i dont wish them injuries like i do with footballers, but i want to see the riders i dont have lose 👿 👿
Does anyone reading road.cc Does anyone reading road.cc still watch and enjoy real bike races for what they are – incredible examples of athleticism and great entertainment. Or do you simply view them as necessary components of a game? :/ It would be a great shame if that were true.
Ok, so i made up a mock Ok, so i made up a mock team
Bradley WIGGINS
Mark CAVENDISH
David MILLAR
Jonathan BELLIS
Christopher FROOME
Daniel LLOYD
So if that for instance was the British team and Cav won a sprint finish, does that mean i’ve already made 45 points without anyone else finishing in the top 20?
20 for Cav’s win and 5 for the rest cause they are British, or only 20 for the win because non of the rest are from HTC??
To clarify though, here’s where we are: we don’t know who’s riding yet, and when we do we’ll whittle down the starters. for now everyone’s down as riding.
Ditto, I’m struggling to try Ditto, I’m struggling to try and find a potential top 20 TT rider in either the PC or KM categories. As usual they’re all in the ARs although some of the better TT all-rounders might be saving themselves for the road race. Also trying to work out which 4 of the 10 or so half decent TTing DSs will have a good run.
You can have a reasonable You can have a reasonable guess about who will be there and get picking, if you like, but start lists won’t be out til around next weekend.
The riders that are available The riders that are available just now are the ones who races the GP Montreal and not the world championship riders, i’m sure they will get updated nearer the time when a list becomes available
Ok, my team is all greyed out Ok, my team is all greyed out right now. So, I have questions! 🙂 Does that mean that none of the riders I had for the Vuelta are on the currently available riders list? Are the riders that are available right now only the ones that will do the WC Elite ITT? Wil the list then change for the raod race? That’s a lot of work! Wow! 🙂 Will someone post here when the game rider list is complete? Until then, unlimited transfers? Thanks! 🙂
Also, when I’ve been looking at previous top 10s for the TT there are some riders in there who aren’t in the current full rider lists. I assume that once the final teams are announced they’ll be added in?
