    Last year this game enhanced my viewing of the races because it was a bit like the horses, you cheer on your guys, cant do that with Oman

    Why weren’t you complaining yesterday? 😕

    Well, the riders I already had did well and the transfers did nothing, but as I’m building towards tomorrow we’ll have to see. Boonen’s done ok considering he’s not supposed to be trying.

    I felt the same way after I messed up in the TdF last year.

    To be fair there was supposed to be coverage of Oman, but that’s Eurosport for you. Watch the Volta, good countryside, no fantasy team to worry about, a hilltop finish today and Wiggins to cheer on!!

    We have to remember this race
    We have to remember this race was not included in the fantasy game and it was peer pressure that got it added so i suppose we just have to live with it. I think the tour of algarve would have been a better race to include than Oman but thats like saying “shutting the gate after the horse has bolted”.

    I admit the tv coverage has been worse than shite but again we cant predict what the tv companies are going to show especially when its the southern hemisphere (i think my georgraphy is correct). 😕

    There was me thinking that
    There was me thinking that ToQ and ToO were last minute additions to the game, in response to complaints that otherwise we’d have no Fantasy Cycling to follow for a month.

    The situation with ToO coverage is poor, but I’d rather have something to follow (even if it involves even more of a blindfold and pin approach than normal) rather than no FC fix

    I’m off to commit suicide now X( I got 3rd, but still not good, thinking i’m gonna give up the game this year, doing my nut in already and with unreliable coverage and reports/profiles, i give up, its not even fun like it was last year with prizes for every race, takes the fun element away

    The profile of this stage was fine. It was the lack of one on 2 that pissed me off! Following through twitter is not ideal. But Sagan and Greipel are on good form. It’s not that surprising.

    1,2, 4, 5 happy me

    Same! Had Gallopin in ToQ but not Oman although I thought about it! Could have had the top 5. Damn!
