Listening on Eurosport, they were saying it's not been as careful as le tour - things like riders sharing hotel buffets with members of the public!

IDontMindMarmite · 13/10/2020 12:28

Well that's typical, the one time my velo team are winning! I do agree, it looks like the race is collapsing.

prettybird · 13/10/2020 12:36

That's most of my team now gone! ShockSad

MrsAvocet · 13/10/2020 12:40

I've not got many left either!
I wonder how this will impact on La Vuelta?

EndoplasmicReticulum · 13/10/2020 13:03

I was wondering if La Vuelta would even be able to start!

Pan2 · 13/10/2020 13:37

Shock what the hell are you all doing with your team members?? Poor souls. Bike

MrsAvocet · 13/10/2020 15:48

I'm down to 5 riders now and my only remaining GC hope has had a terrible day. Think I should just send all the rest of my team home now!

MrSlant · 13/10/2020 18:10

Well this is the best I've ever done bitter sweet because most of my points are from Sagan by this point and I'm never quite sure if I like him or not! Flying high not because I picked a good team but managed to fluke the least number of people going home at this point Grin. Still apologies to G and MAL.

It's just bonkers if they are letting them mingle with the public at food times. Surely the team managers are furious?

prettybird · 13/10/2020 18:55

I only have 4 riders left Sad - watch as my team drops down the ranking Hmm

iNeverFinishAnyth · 13/10/2020 19:30

I've lost Foss, Yates and Kruijswijk.
Great ride by Sagan, this is the first time I haven't picked him for my team!

FelicityLemon · 14/10/2020 08:03

I am resigned to the maglia nera now that i have lost Yates and Kruijswijk, my only hope is Nibbles.

Imho Wink Sagan only achieved what he did because of the withdrawals Grin

EndoplasmicReticulum · 14/10/2020 08:23

Nibbles is waiting until the 3rd week. This year, that may not be a sensible plan.

FelicityLemon · 16/10/2020 16:08

OK peeps, the Vuelta velogames is open. Please use the TdF League number 850904015 - so far i am the only entrant so you will know you are at the right place. (have decided to draw a discreet veil over my Giro performance and am just hoping to see if Almeida will hang on until Milan - or wherever the end is!)

The Vuelta already? I don't want to pick a team too early or they'll all come down with a cough!

Last couple of days on Giro have been a bit dull and a time trial tomorrow - shame they're saving big mountains for the last week that may not happen.

You can change the team up to the deadline.

As a DQS fan I wouldn't be devastated if it finishes early as long as Almeida still has the maglia rosa.

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 16/10/2020 17:53

I’ve joined. More in hope than expectation - so I’ve called my team Please don’t fall off!

IDontMindMarmite · 16/10/2020 19:03

Well i've entered but i'm not optimistic!

IDontMindMarmite · 16/10/2020 19:18

Hence my team name is "hoping to finish"

FelicityLemon · 18/10/2020 19:29

Exciting stage. Get ready for the return of the Ineos train though

Curse of being on my team strikes again.
Not only the corona, but the corona twice!

Olinguito · 20/10/2020 11:47

Yes, that's really bad luck. Now the dreaded lurgy's struck Gaviria I have only 3 riders left!

prettybird · 20/10/2020 12:51

At least I didn't have him in my team Wink

prettybird · 20/10/2020 17:01

Relief in the peloton: I didn't get round to putting together a team for the Vuelta Grin

MrSlant · 22/10/2020 17:06

Well I don't think I'll ever get lovely Tao for 10 points again any time in the near future.

Can't believe the Vuelta started on a Tuesday and confused me Grin no team for me.
