    Updating has slipped my mind. :D

    Tbh I hadn't even checked any of my fantasy games for this :oops:

    Not sure what to say, We had an absolute epic stage 15 on one of the toughest climbs in the world. Some amazing emerging talent in Froome, Poels and Mollema and Wiggins at least proving that '09 was no fluke. Stage 17 has been lauded as one of the best finishes in a GT this year and Froome is now only 13 seconds from Cobo with only tonight's stage as a chance to get back time, unless he can suddenly grow sprinters wings. :D

    As for the rankings Jodie way out in front with Los Campones and celery a more than respectable 2nd and 3rd respectively.

    Stage 18 (of 20) Rankings
    1 Fuentes Favourites 3988
    2 Los Campones 3690
    3 celery 3463
    4 CadelsClowns 3224
    5 Team Pharmacy 3034
    6 Rioters 2993
    7 GreenHEDGE Fund 2572
    8 Media Car Driver 2418
    9 Wanted to pick Gerrans 2227
    10 Sainter 2008

    I think JJ Cobo and Los Campones have the Vuelta won. Congratulations

    Overall finishing points are a killer! Who picks JJ Cobo anyway?

    Winner gets 500 pts and progessively paying down to No. 30. Points also awarded for KOM and Points jersey down to No. 10. I only have Nibali in the top 10.

    It wil shake up the leaderboards. I need JJ Haedo to win tonight into Madrid to have any chance.

    Every game I try and learn from my mistakes, every time I seem to make twice as many. All gone downhill since the Classics. :D

    Sagan takes the win in Madrid and the Bison takes the Vuelta!

    As Jodie predicted, Los Campones did get 1st but only just! Very close. Well done all (except for me) enjoyed sharing this with TS.

    many thanks for organising port, and congrats to the camp ones - not every one will find that as funny as I do.

    Real tussle for 3rd to 5th, but luck will out.

    Thanks for organising this Fantasty Game, been good to have a short one to participate in, certainly learnt to research before picking random players :D (Cyril Dessel, looking at you)!

    Been a bit of fun for it, well done to the winner of the League.

    Cheers all.
