    Are the tours of Qatar and Oman or the Vuelta a Andalucia going to be included in the fantasy season? Other races in Feb which would be good to include would be the Volta ao Algarve and the Giro di Sardegna but these clash with the tour of Oman and the Vuelta a Andalucia.
    It seems a shame to have a month completely race free and after a fairly good start in the TDU, I don’t want to have to wait until Paris-Nice to get my team racing again again.

    Thanks Dave & Co for
    Thanks Dave & Co for including the Tours of Qatar and Oman. Now I will have to go study them.

    +1 to include Omloop Het Nieuwsblad and/or Kuurne-Brussel-Kuurne to fill in the gap at end of February. Only problem is they are on following days, so only small window to swap riders out (good chance to test the automate roster changer thing, if you have built it). It will get the fantasy players looking at some of the smaller 1 day classics.

    Can’t find a proper profile for race neither, any links?

    YES! we wait months for fantasy cycling to come back – have a good TDU, and then the candy is removed for 6 weeks, or so it seemed – well done Road CC and thanks for listening

    Sterling effort, Dave. Thought I’d struggle through Feb with no FC, but this has made my day. I’ll probably still struggle through Feb, though, given a few bad team selection choices!
