    Gone for it today as it might

    Gone for it today as it might be more predictable than some stages?

    Similar team though Sabragli and Battaglin for Valverde and Kennaugh.

    ive been laptopless all week, and its still not fixed. This is the first time I have come on since last sunday. So ive not been able to set it up. (even if id managed to set it up I couldn’t make it live, nearly happened with Poland but Dave made it live).

    If I can fix something I normally do, but there is a lot that I cant even fix, or wouldn’t know how to, which is pretty much everything outside of the scores or riders in the race.

    Are we correct in thinking this game is on it’s last legs TER? Certainly starting to sound that way.

     

    Perhaps youcan get in touch with Dave, to see what he has to say. It doesn’t seem that he reads the threads on this particular forum.

     

    I do hope you are wrong.  Second year playing and the odd hiccup aside I have really enjoyed it.  I worry that there is limited promotion on the main site though. 

    It certainly brings me to the main site more than I would without the game.

    I bought a bike with Aksiums.

    I bought a bike with Aksiums.  Eventually cracked the rim and replaced them with Fulcrum 3s, but they are dependable wheels.  Don’t know if I was faster, but the Fulcrum 3s felt better and I lost the brake rub I would get sometimes when out the saddle.  There are some good deals about.

    If you have the money I would go Fulcrum 3s in your position.

    In other words they did pay for the legal advice for Lizzie.

    I don’t read it like that and I think you are trying to make the statements fit your strongly held views.

    There are questions to be asked on this subject, but BC getting legal advice is a sideshow.

    Also the points weren’t revised after Froome and Porte had their time ammended to the same as Mollema. Surely they both should have picked up more points than Quintana?!

    Although given the times for GC purposes the stage results have not been amended.  If you go to the official website stage results you can see this.

    Having both Froome and Porte it my team I would have preferred them getting more points, but I can’t see how you can do something different to the official results.  So I don’t think it can be revised.

    Just glad I brought in Mollema and had Quintana too.

    It is just another factor that can’t be predicted when we select our teams.

    Great, I got rid of 2nd and 4th for stage 2! what a joke

    I feel your pain.

    i managed (don’t ask me how) to submit a randomly filled team for stage 1.  Looked at the results I thought I had a reasonable result and then looked at the scores in horror when I found out who I actually had. Took 5 transfers to sort it, but top 10 today.

    TdF picking up after a very average first week.  Top 10 standard today.

    it can be cruel game though.

    I bought a Kinesis Racelight

    I bought a Kinesis Racelight T2 18 months ago and have not been disappointed.  I use it for a similar commute, winter training rides and did a 4 day trip round the Westrn Isles last year with a rack and panniers added for light touring.

    I like the fact it has race geometry and I can get a set-up like my best bike.

    Some great deals on it avaialble.  I bought a complete build like this

    http://www.winstanleysbikes.co.uk/product/74046/Kinesis_RaceLight_T2_Bike_Black_Frame_63cm?gclid=Cj0KEQjwncO7BRC06snzrdSJyKEBEiQAsUaRjGGwrAZv5RnQA4pk5x8xrSom3qnHGDKQdo4wRxk-lgcaAn6H8P8HAQ

    which is great value at £600.  Didn’t think much of the tyres and the pads on the Tektro brakes need an ugrade, but these are consumables anyway.

    Probikekit have some discounts on Kinesis frames at the moment too.

    If I change this in the future I might go Kinesis again.  4S with discs.

    Don’t usually have this issue

    Don’t usually have this issue, but today I have the same problem with the Tour de Yorkshire.  Is your issue with this competition or others?

    Chill guys. As has been

    Chill guys. As has been pointed out earlier you can pick who you like by making all riders visible.    

    Everybody I wanted to pick was there.  I suspect those smarter will have found a gem who wasn’t, but I didn’t identify one.

    Just picked my team.  More

    Just picked my team.  More than 30 credits unused.  Can’t remember the last time I had so much to spare.

    PS No Astana riders for me Condor Andy
