When the waiter appeared with the bill, the first cyclist said “The meals on me lads, I’ll pay”:
The headlines the following day read “cycling ventriloquist found dead in a ditch””

This may be the first time I have ever asked this question, but: Can someone explain this joke please? It is a joke, right? :/

Rest days in the grand tours carry 4 transfers because they are after a week or more of racing. After two days in a small race of 7 stages, does not normally have a rest day, this has been put in this year to facilitate the transfer back to Poland.

There is no need for extra transfers to be given as the terrain is not going to change, like it does in grand tours, from mountains to flats after rest days.

ok fairenough no extra transfers on week long tours, not a problem, rules are reules etc…
But your second paragraph, terrain not changing? really? I think i’ve just missread the next 2 stages 🙁 6 transfers, all sprinters, 40 points penalty

Sorry ~ but I just thought I’d give Gkam a titter rather than another knocker 😀

no, you misunderstand. I’m suggesting that’s what they do on other forums, and that I have NO examples of you doing any of those things!

The game is fabulous, and I
The game is fabulous, and I for one would like to express considerable gratitude to all the people that give time and effort to running it. Like the man said earlier, it is a tenner well spent.

drheaton, you are consistently courteous and well mannered, and always ready to give good advice to new players.

Gkam, however, if you are keen to take on the role of the grumpy one on this forum, can I point you in the direction of some of the other cycling fantasy forums for a few pointers? I’m afraid you still have a lot to learn about trolling, escalating to extreme abuse following minor provocation, having a completely one-eyed bias in favour of your favourite riders, and then assuming a false identity in order to continue posting because you have been banned by the moderators. 😀

Keep up the good work chaps, this is one cycling fan who feels at home in this game and on this forum.

In fairness, one of the major reasons for having the forum is so that people who have questions or issues have somewhere to go. Everyone here at some point was new to the game and thanks to the huge growth in numbers over the last couple of years there are more new people than there are old regulars like us.

Likewise, with the growth in the game and the expansion to new races there will be things that need ironing out (short notice changes to the calendar and the way that minor races are score being the big two from this year) and here is the best place for people to express their views.

I do agree though that the old regulars do appear to have dispersed a little and there isn’t as much banter as there was 12 months ago but to try and get that back I guess we need to bring the new people through and the key to that is making sure the forum is a pleasant and fun place to visit. Obviously we’ve had problems with some users but that shouldn’t affect have we treat any other new person.

This game is awesome guys! Been playing for 2 years and enjoy it immensely and I appreciate the work that must go into producing the game! If people don’t like it tell them there are other fantasy games out there that are hellish to play! This one is so user friendly and we are all human and therefore prone to the odd mistake!!
Keep up the good work chaps!! 🙂
