    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.

    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 Wheelers

    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

    well, there’ll be the extra teams from the tour of california, ToB, etc. yes. but not all teams ever.

    You mean like I could do Bayern-Rundfarht (still clashes with the giro), tour of luxembourg should defo be a goer before the dauphine (sky only team on the list at the moment), vattenfall classics, etc? the odd one. The prob with most the others is only a minority are the top teams. However is Dave is updating the rider database due to the extra races (will this be the case Dave?) It may be possible to run some of the non-world tour races. And could say set a value for all riders in any teams not on the database at say 3.5 credits.

    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 time

    I proabably will, if others are? Puts me out of a job with my spreadsheets though 🙁 tour of Romandie will be swansong

    There’s probably a few other little comps you can do!!

    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.
