I went with the S's, Should have stuck to G's
I quite agree Stumps and i don't know how some people "knew" a few days ago, considering it was only announced yesterday lunchtime
Never a dull moment with Fantasy Cycling!
I'd personally rather get a free transfer to replace sohrabi.
Points would be nice but that's Fantasy Cycling for you!!
what an awful stage! and team for me
Stupid bloody game anyway.
Where is the `sulking like a baby` smiley???
Sadly I also had Sohrabi in my team.
Still 112 points so can't complain too much.
Where's everyone getting the stage profiles? I've only seen them in another forum...

There you go
They come from the official site but stages 1 and 2 are the same. The Sky website has a description of the stages and say 2 has a couple of ramps but should be a bunch sprint.
Cheers Gkam, and cheers Alan T for the tip!
Keep the faith.
...but I guess it might be wise to transfer Sohrabi. So I've gone for the Flem
My wife's got (or hasn't got) sohrabi for the duration as She's a purist at heart!
i've kept sohrabi and done some other transfers. it's not like he did any worse than my other domestiques
Well that site doesn't even load for me, Runtime Error, i always check my riders before finishing my team and up until lunch time on the 13th, even on the Lotto website, he was still racing
Aaarrrggg!! it seems that today is an uphill finish (I found a real profile in a forum), so maybe it's Sagan or Goss day!! and my team with cav... aaarrrgggg!!
Damn!! Sagan wins!!
1. Sagan
2. Cooke
3. Slagter
So, since Sohrabi would have got points through being on the same team as Greipel, does he get any? I know, I'm pushing it a bit now.
No free transfer just give me points PLEEEEEEEEEASE

Anyway, it doesn't really matter. Lets all play nice and enjoy the game.

Top tip - google your riders names...

11th Feb (or just after) was when I 'knew' he wouldn't be racing.
I don't think Dave should be responsable for ensuring that everything is up to date and perfect all the time - he works hard enough already.
I still want toknow the home town and country of birth for the immediate family of each rider. . . it would be so useful, and Dave simply has not delivered .
Full results up now on official site
you get points for whatever nine riders you pick, unlike last year it's not possible to have an incomplete team*

I dont think he means points for Sohrabi
What he means is our team is still valid, because starting a race with 8 riders makes your team invalid
Once the race has begun, do what you like, but 1st stage you have to have 9 riders in the race
Yes, that's what I meant. Didn't mean to be controversial.
Ok, so no one got points for Sohrabi, right? He would have had to start the stage to get points, right? So, if someone abandons the race or does not finish a stage, and he's still on our team, we don't get a free transfer nor credit for their points if their teammate wins a stage?... Just wondering...
Cheers for the link, i could have missed that one in my searching, no dates of the Asian champ's doesn't help either
You must do some really in depth searching on your riders, i just do a general google, see that their fit and riding, then look up their wikipedia page if they have one, see their past results in the race or similar style races
No-one got points for Sohrabi as he didn't race, He would have had to start AND finish the stage. If someone jumps off mid stage, then correct, he scores 0 even if his team mate wins
