Fantasy Tour

[Christian]

Somehow I really suck at this game.

Although I don't think I do.

I've had 3 stage wins and aomewhere around 10 days in the maillot jaune (whatever Cancellara+Schleck adds up to). Plus I number 2 and 4 from GC.
Still I'm only in 75th place

Well I suppose if Fränk Schleck was still in there I'd be a lot higher.

Riders I should not have "signed"

- Oscar Freire (Is he even racing ?! I only saw him on the day of the World Cup Final because he had put red and yellow tape on his handlebars. Complete disappointment)

- John Gadret (After a strong Giro I thought he might get a stage win or place in Top 15 but all he seems to do is p*ss of Nicolas Roche with pointless moves)

- Jacob Fuglsang (Did in no way live up to the expectations that his team put in him, I thought he might be a future GC contender but there's still a long long way to go for that apparently)

- Marcus Burghardt (After Tour de Suisse and based on his previous Tour performances I thought he might be in some good breakaways, but again: barely seen him except pulling for Cadel when he was in yellow)

Now I guess all I can hope for is a good placing of Menchov and Schleck on Tourmalet and a good placing of Fabian in the final TT (although he's been looking pretty bad for a week).

This blows. How does one go about losing points? Game has major bugs..

Points are back...great to see Pisino Bank from Croatia in first position just 2 stages to go...I will not stay in first..but great to see us there

It's a great concept for a game, too bad the updating of the scores has been a few days late frequently

Ha Well Done

Just edged out ACF, and Bro, you really slipped down in the last week!

I died big time. Mr. Toad's wild ride across the cobbles featuring Frank Schleck killed me. To make matters worse, I had Mick Rogers, also known as the Australian Tommy D., who did nothing. Brajkovic sucked along with the rest of the Radio Shack team, excepting Horner.

The rider cost were completely screwed up for this game.

So glad I picked Rojas and Van den Broeck. Funny that the first scored about as many points as the latter, but I guess being 4th and 5th in a bunch of stages without a chance in hell of winning them amounts to a better Tour than a 5th overall.

Agreed. What's the point if you can't check the standings daily? That's where the fun is.

Congrats to cesko_jr!

Pleasantly surprised with my 12th place. Paced myself like a true GC contender and came good in the 3rd week.

Also congratulations to the very aptly named latern rouge.

woot i came 2nd. that's ok. most importantly i beat acf

jaylew - i thought you had it man

 

[sublimit]

Most people beat ACF..

Happy to come position 4 but yes Jaylew looked like he had it sown up a couple of days back. I made a blunder in not picking Van den Broeke but i'm proud of my team..

 

[jaylew]

I bonked at the end (kinda like my last ride). Had a horrible TT and my sprinters failed me in the final two sprints(Hushovd and Farrar).

Can you still log in? Being the super user you are?

How about posting the final results for those of us that were off site and didn't get a chance to see it before it went down?

i hardly failed.. i was in the top 50%

as for the tour, im going to spend tommorow going through the last few stages and looking at the results (and doing a lot of catching up sitewise).. ten days holiday and then moving house mean i havnt actually seen the gc properly. i could tell you who came 1st and 2nd, and who won green.. beyond that, havnt got a clue
