    I should probably give a link to the website! Here you go. Encouraging response so far

    General consensus with TS'ers last time was that set and forget was good, because it allowed them not to worry about transfers etc whilst they concentrated on Supercoach as a priority but different strokes in all that.

    If you are looking for a game that's slightly more involved, have a look at the road.cc game, you get 2 trades per stage so there's a bit more tinkering and strategy to it. Here's a link

    Just created a team. Looking forward to following a new fantasy sport in cycling after having lots of fun with ice hockey earlier this year.

    Cyclingnews is ok for news but isn't the best. Since this is getting popular (just wait for the tour lol, will be more than just Chels, Rich and I next time! :D) I'll post some gold links.

    Best place for up to date startlist (always best to make sure you're rider is actually riding!): CyclingFever Startlists

    What to check a rider's results? Best site for cycling, no other sport has a database like this, it is ownage: CQRanking

    Giro news, profiles of stages, teams, everything else: Steephill

    sheet UA, i've sung that while throwing the wonder stalks at the opposition bench - what memories.

    Has now been banned by the Met - celery is now classified as a dangerous weapon - go figure

    Hey Port, my mate just pointed me to the Road.cc game as well. Have you set up a league in there?

    I havent looked at this yet and only have tomorrow morning to set up my Velogames and ride.cc teams, so hopefully I can come up with something that is at least half competitive. @ Port let me know the league code if you do set one up.
