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.

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.

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.

A fantasy cycling newbie here.

I know very little about cycling but am desperate to beat a cycling mad friend in one of these events.

League joined.

I think you mean winner in 2020 as this is the 2021 Vuelta?

I've done a team.

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.
