Not sure how substitutions could work with so many rider categories and the pricing structure.
Might work with limited transfers on the rest days/transfer windows but you'd need to be able to do about 3 transfers at once to realistically shuffle your money around.

It's part of the beauty (and pain) of Velogames you need a lot of luck with injuries and illness to get through and win the thing with no subs. It's the reason I like this game so much levels the field a bit when you don't know all there is about the sport.

Re: VELOGAMES 2021 - Starts Sunday March 7th
Well after the first rest day a few observations and the latest standings.
1. The Tour winner is probably all but over after just 7 days of racing barring accidents.
2. we had a mountain stage where Cav beat 3 former GT winners!
3. We had the first man to beat his fellow GC contenders by over 3 minutes on one stage since 1999.
Speaking of Cavendish he has 4 flat stages to win two and break Eddie Mercx’s all time stage wins record for the Tour. Helped by the loss of Ewan earlier in the week and yesterday the abandonment of Merlier and the OTL of Demare and Coquard.
Latest table

11 D1 Laudrup86 2636pts (but with 2 sprinters out, only going one way)
Enjoy the rest day (boring, i'll have to actually do some work this afternoon).

Re: VELOGAMES 2021 - Starts Sunday March 7th
Apologies Laudrup for that omission. Here is an update of the league with just 4 stages to go. One summit, one flat TT and 2 sprint stages. Andy Smiths Killer cycles has a nice lead.

Yes, crystal ball working well on the bikes - it indicated that a last minute change to bring the Manx Missile into my squad might be a good idea.bluelionman wrote: ↑04 Aug 2021, 05:58 Well done Andy Smith (aka Rick_Spangle) you have a crystal ball or something - that's some score or just well up on ya cycling tour de France fantasy riders?
