This Marseillaise was a disaster. I'm ashamed.

My most expensive rider is not riding because he has a cough. Well...

So far my best pick is Martin Urianstad Bugge that I bought for 5 points and unexpectedly won the KOM classification in TDU. You never know. This Giosue Epis could be your secret weapon.

TTT, rain, Remco... Sometimes I really regret having a job.

Thanks, that was the word I was looking for.

There are now only 10 teams left with no points (I'm part of this club). Is there some kind of reward for the last team to score a point? Also, does anyone know a good lawyer? There may be a few things that need to be reviewed in these contracts...

Thank you for perfectly explaining one of my dumb picks (that became scary when I discovered that only three of us had chosen him). Now I feel completely reassured for having spent so much on him. I admit that since it was my first time in this game, I had little time to put my team together, I...

Not a good day to mention Simon Yates...

Well, you might find me on this field.

It's done, I've made room (quite some room, I thought) for the Ugly Duckling. I hope I won't have to dislike him even more. On the other hand, some of the riders I like aren't on my team (too inconsistent/bad karma/too expensive compared to what I expect from them). Let's just say there will be...

I have a psychological question. What about a rider you don't particularly like, or even dislike, but who could be a good pick? Does having him on your team help you to cheer for him, or does it make absolutely no difference, you still don't like him (even if for no reason)?

I guess it would be OK if my rider doesn't get busted before January 1, 2027, right? EDIT. Or do the results of the game can be cancelled retroactively?

I'm trying to put together a team this weekend. The problem is I need another sponsor. God, these riders are awfully expensive. Since this is my first time participating and putting together a fake cycling team wasn't part of my plans for this weekend, I'm jumping in a little unprepared due to...

I've been watching some vintage cycling races over the last few days (well, some races from 2022, but they really felt vintage to me). While I recognize all the riders (who, in my opinion, aren't racing by the rules either), I don't recognize Pogacar. What, unable to get in the breakaway? Six...

You're not ready to give up on this idea, are you? Which rival doped rider are people here fans of? Personally, I don't know.
