2011 Tour de France Manager Game

[Cobblestoned]

laterne rouge, wow

This is what comes out, when you have to change your team from 15 to 20 in a late last minute effort.
Ok, my fault.

Anyway, I felt more and more bad and guilty with my rider selections.
It's nearly like a death list. Hope the rest will make it, or make it crash free.

 

[Sasquatch]

I'll update the standings around the start of today's stage. Not at home to do it now.

YEAH BABY!!

If only I had used my joker for this stage, but maybe Sanchez, Gesink, or maybe Andy again can get me max points!

[Ferminal]

10 points... down to the wire. Taaramae pulling on white got you up for today Maybe Rolland can take it for a day before Taaramae wraps it up in the ITT.

If Evans wins overall I have us very close on Team of 9 points. Gotland 100 or so behind, although that is predicting Samu coming 3rd in KoM.

I need Contador to fail more today and in the ITT, and Petacchi to win in Paris.

But way too close to call at the moment.

 

[jobiwan]

Guess who has Rolland, Sanchez, and Andy on his team? AND guess who used his joker today? THIS GUY!

[jobiwan]

I really don't have anyone for the stage tomorrow, unless THOR does something.

Hoping Rolland and Andy hold on, if they do I'll have all 4 classification leaders!

AND I almost forgot, I have Garmin too!!

 

[Sasquatch]

Yeah. Not sure anyone has much for the stage. Only a few have Cancellara and Martin.

 

[Ferminal]

Nice combativity win!

Forgot about teams class giving points each day too, guess that means I'm out of it. Bloody RadioHacks.

 

[jobiwan]

So I'm going to have 4 of the 5 classification winners, if Cav doesn't blow it.
And the 2nd place GC rider.

Was surprised Rolland held on, and it was a blessing in disguise that I didn't have enough money left for Radioshack!! HOORAY GARMIN!

 

[jobiwan]

Anxiously awaiting results!!

Thanks Sasquatch for all your work. I'm glad I got in this one, as it seems this is the only one I've done well in!

Oops! Forgot Rolland won't score me final points as he wasn't in my team of 9!

[Sasquatch]

Anxiously awaiting results!!

Thanks Sasquatch for all your work. I'm glad I got in this one, as it seems this is the only one I've done well in!

Oops! Forgot Rolland won't score me final points as he wasn't in my team of 9!

Unfortunately Gotland was too good for all of us.

 

[boomcie]

Big thanks Sasquatch.
And nearly winning your own game, impressive

Pretty pleased with how I recovered in the end.

 

[Gotland]

Thanks for a great game again. Hope you will do a new one too the veulta

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

Congrats Gotland, thanks Sasquatch

Top-10 for me... well, just average

 

[Sasquatch]

Yeah. I'll think about the Vuelta one. It will probably be busy for me so I won't be able to update every day. We'll see. 19 people was manageable. Might make it the best of the best and the top 10 take part to duel for the winner.

I think most of the top 10 were top 10 in the Giro game so it makes sense.

 

[Sasquatch]

Yeah, you were looking good for top 5 Foxxy but a lot of people blitzed the final 9 and that was unfortunately your downfall.

 

[al_pacino]

Started off poorly and managed to get marginally better. Great game though.

 

[boomcie]

Yeah, congrats to Gotland!
Forgot about that

 

[Ferminal]

3rd again

Nice win Gotland, fairly easy in the end, 2-5 very close!

Thanks for running it Sas.

 

[just some guy]

Had thor then went another direction.

How many points did I miss ?

Thanks for running the game hairy not see one !

 

[Cobblestoned]

Yeah. I'll think about the Vuelta one. It will probably be busy for me so I won't be able to update every day. We'll see. 19 people was manageable. Might make it the best of the best and the top 10 take part to duel for the winner.

I think most of the top 10 were top 10 in the Giro game so it makes sense.

What dude ?
I want revenge. 2nd in Giro and last in Tour with bad bad luck and last minute team. Thats really motivating.
But please don't change too much for the Vuelta. Thats pretty confusing, and hard to compare the 3 GTs at the end.
Your update-service was average and of average quality anyway, so can't really get worse.
We will come over it it.

Not meant bad. Thanks anyway.
