    Update: just realized the opening post hasn't aged well, since we've moved to our own platform and improved the game over the past 9 years. Sign up here: https://fantasycycling.freeforums.net/thread/1/sign-sheet-rule-all Starting tomorrow, but you'll be alright if you sign up within a week or so.

    Due to a doping scandal, one team has just become available, starring Alaphilippe, Simon Yates, Vlasov, Quinn Simmons, with lots of cash left for reinforcements.

    Turns out we had to delay the start of this year's game a bit due to the pandemic-flavoured slow transfer circus. Now we're finally there. The game will start on Monday, as all the big fish confirmed their futures, and partially thanks to Qhubeka surviving even the smaller ones like Fabio etc...

    Hope everybody is still healthy, safe, and sane! When a pandemic keeps you indoors, why not join an original fantasy project? We're starting the new season in 2 weeks.

    2020 Grand Tour #3gtn1

    Strictly applying my "no transfers" rule, I should have made them cross Aspin towards the finish line in Sainte-Marie de Campan, where they'll spend the night anyway and where the ITT begins. But I didn't want any downhill finishes in a shortened season to avoid riders literally risking their...

    Great feedback, thanks guys! I understand where you're coming from about the Vuelta routing trouble. But since I added no travel and no transfers to make my challenge harder, while also aligning with some version of social distancing behaviour we'll all have to obey for months if not years...

    2020 Grand Tour #3gtn1

    Well, let's hope they feel hard-pressed to produce an awesome event in order to keep the sponsors around. This entire concept is of course based on the likely condition that TdF gets cancelled. (If it doesn't, Vegni will just queeze in GdI somewhere, and problem solved.) Here, it'd be the Vuelta...

    Thank you, kind sir! And indeed, this is the perfect time to innovate!

    Great point! I added this to the opening post. Btw since the idea came from Iván Garcia Cortina and Matteo Trentin, the 2020GT opening stage is tailored to their strengths - both much harder to drop uphill than Groenewegen or Ackermann!

    We're underway, today is your last chance to join. (We're 18, while 19-20 would resemble the real-life World Tour a bit more, thus the push.)
