Vuelta 2024

[prettybird]

The last of the Grand Tours of the season starts tomorrow. Have you submitted your Velogames team yet?

My team is a mix of pragmatism, current favourites and sentimentality old favourites. Probably means I'm guaranteed the Spanish equivalent of the Lanterne Rouge

Surprised not to see a single Visma-Leaseabike rider in the "All Rounder" categories

Just found out the code from before still works
League Name: Mumsnet Marauders
League Code: 159285217

If you were our league in any of the other Velogames this year, it should add you automatically

At least, it did for me

Just marking my place in the peloton

Is the Vuelta on ITV this year?

Highlights on Quest (answering my own question!)

Sadly I was half way across the world when the game opened and still there when the deadline came so will be watching from the sidelines. Good luck all!

Watching from the sidelines here, too

Kuss, Almeida and Yates not feeling the best choice of climbers in my velogames team at the moment. (Ha!) But enjoying the race ...

I've jinxed Kuss and Yates by having them in my team

But I'm nevertheless enjoying the race - and, of course, Wouty Wout Wout's achievements

I'm beginning to think I shouldn't actually make a team, as it always seems to bring doom of one sort or another to the participants.

What a stage today! This race is wide open now. I missed the team deadline again, but perhaps that's as well as several of my favourites are doing pretty well now and they'd probably have been doomed if they'd been in my team.
Looking forward to next week's racing, should be exciting.

I have both Yates and Carapaz in my team #justsaying

They're doomed, doomed I tell you!

Me too Prettybird, me too. They did alright today though.

@Plasmodesmata - I was being cryptic for those that hadn't seen the stage yet

They done good

Missed watching the last two stages as we were out all day at a conference. Not going today (will watch bits of it on-line) so can watch live

Seems like we missed some good cycling. I'm creeping back up the leaderboard, but without a GC contender, am unlikely to get much higher.

Dh came across this on Twitter: the new jersey for Wout

Ah bother the tour of Britain men's race starts today and I forgot and missed the deadline to put a team in.

Didn't even think to out a team in

put

🥺😭

Yeah sorry I think that might have been my fault.
Doom.

Spoilt for choice today....La Vuelta, ToB and the Paralympics TTs all on at once!Then of course next week there's nothing. I'm feeling a bit grumpy as today's Vuelta stage virtually passes my PIL's holiday home and I'm not there. ☹️* *Weather looks no better than here though.
