Consists of Prologue and stages 1 to 5 (official labelling). This is what I have called the stage name, even though it will appear as stages 1 to 6 in parts of the game.

Interestingly, you can only get stage details on the official site in French, not English; a small insult perhaps.

Hirschi probably overhyped

Hirschi maybe overhyped after last season. Probably more a rider for one dayers and single stages rather than purist competition. Bevin pulling out did for me.

Kung and Hirschi screwed my chances.  7th in the end.  Time to stop selecting Hirschi methinks.

Jumbo really not at the races

Jumbo really not at the races this week. I thought Kuss would relish the chance to lead the team but really struggled yesterday. Brightest note for them was young Leemreize putting in a solid weeks work. Hopefully he will become known for his riding rather than for being the first rider disqualified for using the super tuck position!

Kruiswijk and Kuss my worst

Kruiswijk and Kuss my worst picks of the season in purist. Really poor.

Ok so yesterday 01/05/21 at 07.38 hrs I made 3 transfers to my team…SAGAN, COLBRELLI and BEVIN out…….PORTE, KUSS and KELDERMAN  in….

Transfers went through all in order….When last nights results came through my results were showing the same team before the transfers costing me 44 points I think..

Dont understand whats gone on…As I say transfers were made, transfers confirmed, as my transfer history says and my team is showing the transfers…

Can anyone shed light on this….

Steve…

Been a strange race so far.

Been a strange race so far. Those last two stages had enough gradients at the end for the GC riders to burn all the sprinters off and grab a chance of bonus seconds….but INS just not interested. I’m certain that had Pogacar and/or Roglic been racing that’s exactly what would have happened. Both Woods and Kuss tried to ramp up the pace on those climbs  but nothing happened from the peleton.

Aw damn, didn’t notice Bevin
Aw damn, didn’t notice Bevin was DNS yesterday (he wasn’t greyed out for today, sadly) so unnecessarily kept him for the TT tomorrow. Never mind! Still my best week in fantasy for a while, I do love the Swiss races!

Official statement on

Official statement on Romandie website says stage will be run in its entirety, starting at 10.35am CET.

Do we have a confirmed roll

Do we have a confirmed roll out time yet?…or even a confirmed route…

They were talking on the commentary today as if it wasn’t going to ahead at all – or at least not finish up the col.

Looks like tomorrow’s stage

Looks like tomorrow’s stage is due to start at 10.35 CET. It has been brought forward 2 hours due to poor weather forecast.

Hadn’t seen that.  Any reason given?

I presume it was the pressure that mounted when he was compared to WVA by a top cycle race analyst.

I had him in Standard and Purist.

[11waterloo]

Haha, I jinxed him! Felt a

Haha, I jinxed him! Felt a bit sick according to his team & took no risks with Giro upcoming. Also in both my teams & probably scuppered my tilt at the TdR purist title! 

[11waterloo]

It doesn’t matter when the

It doesn’t matter when the deadline is set when they only announce Bevin DNS after the start! I guess everyone has him in anyway…..

[tony kappler]

OK, Giro deadline is approx

OK, Giro deadline is approx 15 mins before start. I have also shifted Romandie  deadline closer to start, so you will have an extra hour to worry.
