    Halfords are again running their fantasy comp. this year. So you can legally run 2 teams without Dave getting wound up đŸ˜€

    Does anyone understand their rules about TT’s? From what I’ve read, your riders score no points in time trials. That doesn’t make any sense though? And what about the Prologue – does that count as a TT?

    We can’t join the Halfords
    We can’t join the Halfords road.cc league (via sbs version of game). Looks like it’s Aussies vs Brits, just like the real thing.

    Re Bonus Stage – I went for the last TT, as I find them easier to call and it should be clear by then who’s on form. Plus simple maths – there will be less riders in the race by then!

    Depends on which you think will be the most predictable and picked by the fewest number of other players if you’re after a stage win. I’ve gone for the first sprint stage as I reckon alot of people will keep their stage 1 riders in for stage 3 before swapping in sprinters for 4, 5 and 6.

    TTs and summit finishes may do well if you think you can pick the right guys and plan well to get them in with the transfers you have. Given that points are only finish line and for holding the yellow/green jersey you don’t need to worry so much about breakaways.

    I agree, it’s going to be incremental gains really if everyone’s got the main men. It’s also really weird how they done rider values, people like Bozic, Kittel, Rojas and Gallopin and Scarponi are amongst the cheapest riders in the game but are much more expensive in the road.cc game and rightly so. Picking out the cheap superstar will be a solid tactic for the lumpy stages.
