Team entered. Going with my yearly challenge of "pick a team that doesn't include Chris Froome".

MrPan · 05/07/2018 15:45

Will pick later. Thank you Felicity.

Sad news on the Velogames tdf:

Due to a recent legal notice, entries into the current Fantasy Grand Tour game are currently suspended until further notice.

It is fair to say I am absolutely gutted about this turn of events, but do not want to comment further until the situation progresses.

At present it is looking unlikely that the current Fantasy Grand Tour game will go ahead as planned.

Yours in fantasy cycling, George

IStillMissBlockbuster · 06/07/2018 10:26

It comes as TDF launch their own fantasy league...

EndoplasmicReticulum · 06/07/2018 16:07

Well that's shit. I won't do the official one, sod that.

FelicityLemon · 06/07/2018 20:56

Nooo. How can anyone own a list of names? Which is effectively all any fantasy tournament is.

But, but, butbutbutbutbutbut WHAT?

FFS.

On a better note, hello everyone, how nice to see you all again.

MrSlant · 06/07/2018 20:58

Shall we just try and make a team and do our best on here? I'm not sure I'm bright enough without the helpful scroll down menus.

EndoplasmicReticulum · 06/07/2018 22:28

Eurosport have a Fantasy cycling - I have put a team on there (seems a bit crap though as there is no points system which I think means you can just pick who you want).

12 hours left.

What's particularly irking about the whole thing is why did they leave it to just the day before to shut down the Velogames?

IStillMissBlockbuster · 07/07/2018 07:21

It seems rather nefarious. Perhaps because it doesn't give Velogames time to just change the name very slightly and going ahead as per usual.

Olinguito · 07/07/2018 12:51

That's a shame. Bastards.

FelicityLemon · 07/07/2018 19:44

Well, what a stage 1. Drama crashes and the right winner! Grin Bike

Great winner, what a day first time at the TdF and straight into the yellow!

Froomey spent the first week of the Giro on the floor so I'm thinking it's a weird form of tactics?

EndoplasmicReticulum · 08/07/2018 21:22

I keep thinking "what about my team?"

One of them was off the front for a long time today. Not that it matters.
(still cross about the velogames thing).

MrSlant · 08/07/2018 21:42

I know it's weird but it takes quite a lot of the fun out of it! I think I'm a lot more competitive than I thought. Mind you I always seem to start well then tail off badly towards the end so it's not terrible Wink

Although so far we've got Froome fell off, Cav had bad luck and Sagan won a stage so it's all panning out as you'd expect. Not at home so I don't have a TV but I'm doing my best with the Guardian live coverage.

DramaAlpaca · 08/07/2018 23:09

I'm miffed about Velogames. Denied my chance of an MN peloton hat trick. Bah!

Never mind, I'll enjoy the coverage & the chat on here as always Bike

IStillMissBlockbuster · 09/07/2018 19:33

Yeah i'm missing velogames too

EndoplasmicReticulum · 09/07/2018 20:24

Team time trials are boring. Sorry, but they are.

EndoplasmicReticulum · 09/07/2018 20:38

Also what does this mean?

www.velogames.com/

The link goes to the official site I think.

IStillMissBlockbuster · 09/07/2018 22:03

Oh! Velogames TDF is back!

EndoplasmicReticulum · 10/07/2018 21:11

I don't think so, sadly.

IStillMissBlockbuster · 10/07/2018 21:40

Oh you're right
