Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Top bike. Carbon frame and wheel trims and top speck for front and rear suspension and life time warranty.

Not bad for £3,300.

Even better for a spot of this

Thread is slipping.

Come on then, who's going to set up the velogames fantasy Giro league for us? Or is no one interested anymore?

 

[1066familyman]

Looks like there's next to no interest in fantasy cycling here anymore.

Oh well. If anyone can be arsed...visit here : http://www.velogames.com/giro-ditalia/2016/#

NSC Geeks League Code: 05114441

That looks a beauty. Now I've moved I must dig my mtb out of the garage and get back out on the Downs. You will not be getting any compliments out of [MENTION=435]Stat Brother[/MENTION] mind you!

 

[Bold Seagull]

So what do you do after winning a race, exhausted you put the bike down to catch your breathe, and woah....my back wheel is turning of its own accord...?

Pick bike back up again sharpish...

I'm in.

And even if I do say so myself the Svalbard and Jan Mayen Islands are putting out a pretty good team.

I have, with absolutely no knowledge of form or whatever, selected a team and joined the league. As it stands, I am guaranteed a podium place. Being as the other two entries are 1066 and Stat I am probably guaranteed second place, too.

Result!

I'd be glad with a podium spot myself if we only get a field of four. Gone fairly leftfield and still debating whether to use the wildcard for Tom D or another sprinter (given there are potentially 7 stages that even Kittel can contest!)

Had Cance not picked up a stomach bug I'd probably have just managed with him and the extra sprinter.

Oh.

I didn't know he wasn't well.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Oh, and I am representing France.

Vote Remain!

I did a team this morning and will put it in the league later....cant even remember who I picked as I did it so quick, so will probably be propping up the rest of the league again!

No fantasy team for me, just too busy this month. Dumoulin looks a shoe in today. No value in the betting either.

Over all hoping Landa goes close as that means it will have been an interesting Giro. I like his flair.

No transfers involved P. Just cobble together 9 riders, stick 'em in and let it run.

Be nice to get as big a league going as possible.

OK, done. Did not really think about it or read the rules. Should still beat Stat though

Good stuff




Oh, and yeah, that's a given on beating SB

 

[Stat Brother]

I feel I'm being unfairly maligned here.

Sure I pride myself on taking longer to choose my nationality, than the riders.
I accept I don't have a clue about the scoring system.
Granted I'm no stranger to last place.

But I was 5th overall after the first stage in the Tour of Australia.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Wow. This sounds absolutely horrendous.

We should take the cyclist out and shoot them.
