Certainly was, as everybody else, watched Vuelta Skelta destroy the field to take stage 12 and the Red to hoot. :D

After watching in admiration yesterday, Ooozzzie On A Bike, gave it a go and succeeded in taking stage 13 in style. Taking him to within one place of the podium.

Vuelta Skelter paid the price for yesterdays efforts as Wheely Good just slithered past to take an extremely slim 4 point lead.

Lee Van Cleat takes stage 14, just ahead of Eketahuna Eagles with Peoples taking third.
After a day of recovery, Vuelta Skelter cruised back in to the red jersey.

Denifl will hopefully have racked up a few points today to make it a bit more interesting near the top.

I can only dream of podiums....

My tactic of starting with Froome and Nibali seems good but my other 7 riders are rubbish. Highest score is Fraille's 176 and he went home days ago like at least 3 other members of my team. So just 3 donkeys left to support my big 2 and all are invisible members of the autobus....

You never know Murf. Denifl had about 12 points before his stage win yesterday.

This actually seems like a decent race this year and not a Sky/Froome procession. I wouldn't be surprised to see Nibali nibble a few seconds off over the next couple of days to set up an epic stage on Saturday

Vuelta Skelta are now circa 500 points clear of Wheels of Titanium in 2nd.
Vuelta Skelta are the only team in the top 1,000, sitting 213th.

St Albans CC pip Pom Racing to stage 19.
Big day today for the podium challengers.
Vuelta Skelta lead the way by 300 and odd points from Wheels of titanium, who in turn replicate the difference to Eketahuna Eagles.
Bubbling under are St Albans CC, Wheely Good, Viva Es Spanner and ooozzzie on a bike

AM Postal pinch stage 6 from CardiffAjax CC. Now CardiffAjax CC know what the rest of the bunch thought. He still leads the procession towards the coronation with a position of 46th in the National.

Bad Tour of Britain for me. My son Ewan, has been torturing me over Caleb. :twisted:

Sorry, I'm a bit of a pleb in this sport and particularly in the Velogames version of it, where I am a complete novice.

So apologies for a pretty basic questions:

How do you view the FISO League? Is it via the "Visit Team" button?
and
How do you check the Final Standings if they replace the "Visit Team" button with an "Entries Closed" button?
