Saw the email last night about the game opening, less than a week to the first race of the season, will join the league at some point this week.

Got a handle on how to improve on the week long races last year but I just can't crack the grand tours - hover around the 200 mark - so that's one of the aims for this year...

I was looking through their forum at the end of last year and they're allocating much more resources to the game this year following complaints over the 'one man and a laptop in his spare time' approach of last year. That is literally how it was run the back half of last year, and his laptop broke at one point.

The races include (but are not limited to) all world tour events. Qatar will be on there but Oman and Criterium International that I'm aware of have gone to the wall.

Cheers Sibrown4. St Albans CC pending.

Good summary MVL. Sounds like they've got their act together although the guy did a good job I thought in the circumstances last season. Th results were sometimes posted very late and sometimes opening up competitions a couple of days before the off was not great.

Definitely up for this. Great comp and glad they've got the resources sorted (hopefully). Is there still a premium option?

Looking like il'll be around a bit more than last year as well, at least for the first half of the season. Last year I seemed to be in a different time zone every week so kept missing deadlines.

TdU a bit of a lottery really as usual I guess. Pick an Aussie, any Aussie...

Looking forward to the 'proper' season kicking off at Het Volk. Will definitely try and get over to Belgium to watch De Ronde and see if I can spot Dirk Hoffman or Tornado Tom's Frits. Been invited so need to remind them to get it organised :-) Not sure I'll be able to handle drinking Belgian beer all day though - maybe if I stick to the Jupiler....

I am back also, And this Time from the start of the season. Looking for a great season. Start missing good races ( not completely the same with cyclo-cross, but still fun to watch)

just banged a team in. Looking forward to the new season. Think its being shown on the Bike channel as well so will tray and watch some of it.
Injured hip flexor at the moment so vicarious cycling pleasure is all I'm getting at the moment :D

no way I'm getting close to winning this over the season. Just cba to do the research so rely on gut feel, but hopefully do well in a few races and get some decent finishes.

Are they still doing badges?

Edit - yes they are, so main aim is to try and get some of the top 10 and top 20 finishes at some point.

Just had a quick look and my best finish last year was 11th in the Criterium international. Didn't someone win a tour in 2016? MvL??

Good start (although not accepted into the league yet) but I've just looked at the rest of the parcours so I' thinking that I'll run out of transfers by the half way stage and sink without trace :D

edit: now accepted into league, but you won't see me until the next stage updates

Well the results are up by 6am every day so that bodes well for the improved running of the game.

Having a shocker in standard, not helped by forgetting about Richie Porte for stage 2. Insert face palm here. And getting Sagan and Bennett the wrong way round for every stage.

Different story in purist where I've outscored my std team by about 150 points and am in the top 20.

Yes, I somehow contrived to win the tour of Poland.

Currently in 6th place (down from 4th) with GeoffV just behind in 14th.

Only 30 points in it, and GeoffV has a transfer in hand so fairly neck and neck to be honest. Would be nice to bag the top 10 stage badge and top 20 tour badge in the first event although I've probably just jinxed myself by saying that :D

Oh - the less said about my purist team the better. That involves far too much forward planning for my liking....

10th overall in Standard, 300'th in Purist.

all available badges earned in standard (on the basis that no-one in the game got the 1000 point one), zero badges in Purist.

fair to say it was a game of two halves for me :D

nearly contrived to cock it up in the end though, deciding after a few pints that Renshaw was going to suddenly appear and get top3 on the stage instead of going for my planned De Bie move from before I had a few pints - only dropped a few places though and still got the top 20 badge.

The Tour of Abu Dhabi is now up for selection. 4 stages. Seems ages since the One Dayer in Melbourne.

Opening weekend coming up.

Just logged in to set team for Het Volk and realised I've missed Abu Dhabi (well I have got a team in from when it first opened but half my riders aren't riding and I didn't do a purist team). never mind - shit race anyway.

Looking forward to the first proper racing of the season. Heart says Boonen (of course). Head says GvA, Kristoff or Sagan. Who knows though. First proper race of the season so anyones guess.

I also managed to win a purist comp last year - Tour of Oman which isn't being used this year.

Kittel not involved again today on stage 4 - did the rain affect his ride. Good win for Ewan after that bad error on Stage 2.

Great racing today in TA and PN.

Managed to watch the last 20k of PN. Brilliant race. Chapeau to Contador and Henao. Pity one of them had to lose really.

Blimey. Woke up to find I'd scored 245 points on the Queens stage of the Tour of California and 12th place overall only to see I'd dropped down a place in the League!

Well done Just Kiwi who finished 2nd overall on the stage. Huge scoring all round.

If you go to the road.cc main page (click the blue banner at the bottom of the fantasy site) contact details are at the bottom for different divisions of their site.

There's also buttons for Twitter etc at the top of the page if you want to go that route. Could also post the question in the forum, although I see someone else had this problem a while back and there was no reply to it there.

So thats the end of the season and how close was that between me and MVL. I thought after I forgot to enter Tour of Turkey that I'd blown it and thanks to Stage 4 of Tour of Guangxi I managed to hold off your charge
