Who wants to play?

We can all compete in a paceline league at the same time as the other leagues
Sounds good and I have time to work on this.

In the "Other Games" dropdown, there's a Pyractif (sp?) KOM something. Your new team will autojoin the minileagues you're part of already.

If my past choices have been any example don't pick my riders, for your own sake.

It is the eternal question, do I pick the people I think are going to win, or that I'd like to see win.
As a fan, I can't get behind pistolero or froome - but it would be foolish to not select atleast one of them if you're trying to compete in the game.

I'm never sure if I should pick 4-5 high value riders and the rest, nobodies...or spread out my 100 credits on 9 decent guys. #fwp

I had Menchov and some other guys I would not normally root for a few years back in the fantasy Giro. I won a free VO2 max test from the mini-league I was in but it felt dirty.
I have picked who I would like to see win from then on. Its been downhill ever since.

On the other hand I got 2 non favorite GC riders that I think have a chance for less than froome costs, if any one picks him and he fails to come through they're hosed. Contador is a decent pick but I went another route there too and just filled my team with solid riders. There are a few points bargains in there IMO. Not fun rooting for someone you're not a fan of.
Im all in... Should be fun to follow.

It seems like we should be able to get more than 16 people in our mini league.
Sign up people!

OK, just noticed that niki sorensen is not riding... now I'm down 1 guy before even starting the race, there is a way to fix that??? I mean swap the guy for somebody else???
Second question... I cant find a way to check the results of the paceline league w/o joining again, where is the list of the leagues i'm part of???
Thanks...

Man, gotta say, I'm in the lead by over 150 in my other forum league but in this one I'm 3rd! Went with the folks I thought would be fun/would also win. No Froome, no Pisstolero.
Let the games begin.
Such a shame about cav though... at least in real life... For the league? Allez Kittel!
