    Is there really any need to keep adding these new races at the last minute…..Ok so we lost KBK due to bad weather…so what…it happens….Paris-Nice is about to start and yet fringe races are being added all the time…
    People have paid money to enter a competition where the goal posts are continually being moved and in my opinion its getting too much…
    We enter these things because we are competitive and so at times you sort of feel obliged to enter races that to be honest if they are not on Eurosport people dont really give a damn about,just so that you dont lose ground on the season long competition…
    Its just wrong….

    This game used to be fantastic,,,but Im afraid that some people are over complicating it to relieve their own boredom….

    At the start of the season once the designated races are picked that should be it…

    Well at least thats my opinion anyway…. 🙁

    Can somebody with privs
    Can somebody with privs either delete or block this thread….The intention of my post was not to stir controversy mainly to say…If you have something that works,then dont mess with it too much…..

    And Gkam I have always been in favour of including races of the fairer sex…….I just think that these things should be added close season….In my opinion that way it would seem a bit more professional and organised….

    In fairness I think
    In fairness I think STEVESPROs main point is valid, don’t dick around too much with races once they’re under way.

    As others have said the calender itself is still a work in progress so there will be changes to it but once a race, or group of races like the classics, has started we probably shouldn’t mess around with them. Obviously there were special circumstances this year but next year hopefully we get the right races in from the start which for me would be Omloop/KBK and the trio of Italian races.

    Now now kids, play nice. I’ve tried to be flexible in my approach to races. Things do happen that are outwith my control and so things need to change. Like KBK being cancelled.

    The early classics was just called that, it never stated which rides I could or could not add. That’s why I put in a couple more.

    I guess some people won’t be happy that things might be changing to squeeze in the woman’s world cup races aswell then 😉

I think it’s great that you are flexible and looking after all followers, I am not saying you just ignore these self centered individuals, after all if they do not want to partake in a particular event, they do have the option of missing it out. You should be congratulated for finding the time and effort to provide for all.

    Couldn’t agree more.

    Dear Mr chiv30…..I have been a member for 83 weeks and 5 days longer than you and so I think that I have a right to an opinion….which I once again state thats all that it was….If you troll through all my forum posts you will see that I have given the organisers of this site far more praise than I have grumbling on various issues during my time on here…..

    I totally agree with this , as a cycling fan I have paid a premium to have some fun with asmany races as iI can , if people wish to moan then don’t pay the premium to play!

    Also people need to remember , organising a fantasy game of any sort is time consuming so how about you thank them for their time and effort rather than slate them?

    I think this thread has gone
    I think this thread has gone massively off track….My point was merely an opinion that once the races have been selected at the start of the season,then that should remain as the format for the season…

    It does not affect me as I have the time to put in the research if I need/want to….

    I just think that it is slightly unfair for some people who do not log onto the site on a daily basis…

    But I feel the same way about fantasy cycling as Bill Shankley felt about football :O If you read alot of the threads you would think it is life and death B-)

    It is only a game and I want to play every comp and do my best in every comp. Its not about prizes for me. My main aim is to finish as high as possible at the end of the season- no priizes for that and I don’t care either way. Lets face it we know come the TDF the big hitters will come out to play for the bike- They won’t be around all year round. I think the hard core are in it for fun. I used to be a competitive runner winning many titles because I trained as hard as I possibly could, because I wanted too. Many people in those races had the ability to be winners but they choose other things in life than training like a dog. Road cc is the same. If you want to dedicate a lot of time to it, then good luck to you. If you don’t. Don’t complain that it takes too much time to be successful. The level of effort put in is up to each individual. The more you put in the more you get out and this game is no different :B :B

    Totally agree mate, its addictive 😀

    It can be frustrating after
    It can be frustrating after picking teams to log in a few days later to see the races all changed at short notice. Not everyone is on all the time and teams picked for certain races then get skewed and no points gained at all, but still its only a game.
