    Yeah, why not. Velogames the only game in town?

    Thanks Chels! I am hopeless with the Vuelta, it always seems to sneak up on me even though people are talking about it on twitter!

    Jodie off to a flyer again. She really is queen of Velogames. Meanwhile I manage to pick a sick Betancur and the only Colombian lemon in Henao. :facepalm: Worse than theTour I think :D

    Fuentes Favourites may have been off to a flyer, but getting smoked now. Dodged Bentancur, but Arroyo and Marczynski have been poor picks to date. Interesting to see who is still standing in the third week

    For once Queen Jodie can see some of her subjects quite clearly. The benefits of time to research are apparent - it seems to be very difficult to be competitive in this format without a couple of days to work through the possible combinations.

    You said it Chels. I threw a team together on the Saturday and went with the Team Sky domination theory. Failure. Not even competitive, after a strong (fantasy) TDF and Giro this year. It seems very close at the top, so good luck to the top three teams heading into the last stage and final GC standings. This has been the best Grand Tour of the year.

    Vuelta starts on Saturday, last of the Grand Tours for the year. Promises to be the biggest star packed Vuelta in a long time. Velogames code for those interested: 20094119

    I am in Port, hopefully my Vuelta team will hold up better than my fantasy teams.
