Reading through the new info, it’s not entirely clear if you can win the bike if you don’t go premium?
“Podium prizes can only be won by premium users.”
So, presumably, if you don’t go premium, and you play the Giro competition, even if you were to come first in the points overall, you wouldn’t win the bike?
Or have I read that wrong?

Just feel that £7 is more
Just feel that £7 is more than fair for a year’s worth of play(even without the extra features) so yes…….Premium for me.alronald
Given the fun I get out of
Given the fun I get out of (even though I’m pretty crap at it) £7 seems pretty reasonable. After all things can only get better for the Westhill Wheelersfluffchucker

Basically Alan, I input the scores for each rider, then my spreadsheet calculates the total for youe team (to be fair I’m good at doing this stuff, so I don’t make many mistakes) but that’s why I ask what u expect and then I either agree or disgaree, but I can explain how I’ve scored it (sometimes I miss the odd point as someone is 5th in the points etc).Well I will do bayern if people want, but can defo do tour of luxembourg as in the week between giro and dauphine.
That update will make a difference dave, cheers, think if we do any others we will set a standard value for any teams not on the database

Not tried the Cycling fever game as I wasn’t signed up to them before (usually use cyclingarchives). Did the Halfords game last year and won stage 14, which got me a Garmin shirt and a decent water bottle (still in use). Will play it again if it’s on.
Yes, rider values are the problem, (haven’t forgotten De La Fuente) but I’m sure we can find a way to deal with it. Been watching a little of the Tour of Turkey as there are a few people there might be useful in the Giro. But most of them are pretty obscure.
How do you do the scoring? Do you have a spreadsheet that works out things automatically? I can never seem to get my own score right, I always underestimate, which makes it a nice surprise when I get the real score, (today I didn’t know Slagter was Rabo – oops).

Thinking I might have to go
Thinking I might have to go for this, mostly to build on my love for the Tour of California. Probably gonna leave it ’til the lats minute though seeing as I don’t get paid for another week, but, unless I forget, I should still have enough timedrheaton

Going premium as well. Last year they had Evans, that wasn’t going to last. For the price of a bottle of wine I think it’s worth it. Cycling fever have a Giro game as well so might play that. No prizes I think though.
