    Thanks for all the banter.

    At least you can still win one of the main prizes in one of the Grand Tours, and still get the runner up prize from the classics šŸ˜‰

    2nd place – unlucky! You’re right, it must’ve been a tough one, I didn’t think I’d done very well (3, 6, 16, 20) but I still moved up a few positions in all 3 leagues. This will be the first year I’ve ever followed the Giro properly, so not expecting miracles there – my modest aim will be top 300…

    Yes, if Oman and Qatar were
    Yes, if Oman and Qatar were stripped out, I’d be a few places higher as well. There’s only 10 points between 19th and 24th at the mo. And it’s not that far to the top 15. I’ve now completed a full year of Fantasy Cycling as I started during the Giro. So at least I’ve seen the races once now. Whether that will help or not I don’t know.

    I have to say Voeckler sort of rescued me a little. And was a decent shout by me to be fair. Its how I used the frank schleck credits (bu keeping him) that ultimately cost me as I could have essentially picked any rider….

    3,10,15,16,20.
    Was thinking of Voeckler and Martin but stuck with Purito and Gilbert. Luckily I swapped Kiserlovski for Albasini and brought in Gasparotto, otherwise it would have been a disaster. We finished on exactly the same number of points!! Imagine that! 26= isn’t bad for such a difficult competition. A couple of different riders and either of us could have won.

    Yh that was a good shout too with Kiserlovski, surprised how poor albasini was but nevermind. Yup just noticed that, we wern’t a million miles away from the top, like you say considering the difficulty. Im satisfied with that. In the overall there are big jumps up from me now. If i finished where i am now at the end of the season I would be happy. I think I would be higher up if Qatar/Oman hadn’t been included last minute, but im partly to blame for that so cant complain.
