Research?! I put my team together at 11:30 last night after a few drinks. Isn't that how important decisions are supposed to be made?

FYI, one sort of confusing thing about the site if you haven't done it before is that you need to put together your team before you sign up for the mini-league.

I use the term "research" pretty loosely. It was that attention to detail that earned me a spot on the second step in both of last two games. What did you get?...oh wait.jim_nelson said:Research?!

as the Vuelta GC winner, I would like to divulge my strategy for cicli domination:
1) try to end the race with a ratio of guys wearing tegaderm to those not at about 1:9
2) encourage dan reiners to draft as many euskatel riders as possible
3) never pin your hopes on tony martin
and last, a new weapon which i will deploy in honor of the spring classics version: drink a glass of duvel for every rider you choose that sports enough hair gel to earn himself a lifetime free pass to webster hall.

GO BLEEDING CARROTS!
Euskatel is going to DOMINATE the spring classics, those guys *love* the cobbles.

We have 6 teams registered. Anyone else want in for MSR?
Mar 17, 2013 at 05:08 PM
Ragot is the only one to pull out surprise winner Gerald Ciolek. Impressive pick indeed.

Dam straight. It will go downhill from here...
Mar 17, 2013 at 07:35 PM
Craig with a decent gap in the lead!

Yeah me too. Next race is Dwars door Vlaanderen on Wednesday. Race list here. http://www.velogames.com/spring-classics/2013/races.php I believe we have up until a few hours from the start to make changes.

That's me dangling off the front. I'll be pulled back soon.
Mar 19, 2013 at 03:33 AM
craig's decent gap seems to have inexplicably shrunk....without another start. also, i replaced 5 riders and the game says i made 10 moves. SWEET!
Mar 19, 2013 at 03:14 PM
yeah, the site is run by one guy in the UK who does this in his spare time, so naturally gliches like this are bound to happen. I've got a lot of changes to make.
Mar 19, 2013 at 05:42 PM
I haven't been able to log on today. Anyone else having issues?
Mar 19, 2013 at 05:48 PM
sweet. my call to virtual pat mcquaid worked! (i haven't tried to log in today....but i think you still have time)
Mar 19, 2013 at 05:53 PM
@Jim I was able to log in, but haven't made my changes yet. I think we have until tomorrow morning.
Just found out that I need to make yet another transfer.
It's like a whole new team for me.
Mar 20, 2013 at 12:31 PM
Update your teams, yo:

Damn, nice pics. I was a little clueless on this one.
Mar 20, 2013 at 06:21 PM
I was way clueless, including not reading the part about 24 allowed trades after MSR. Oh, well.
Mar 20, 2013 at 09:39 PM
Oh crap! I thought we could make as many trades as we wanted between each race! Uh oh....I've probably almost used all of mine up! Whatever, I'll always have you Gatto.....
Mar 20, 2013 at 10:42 PM
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuudge.... Down to four trades....
Time for MANOWAR REDUX for E3! It's Friday?

oh boy. my roster is horrible for the upcoming races...
Mar 21, 2013 at 02:56 AM
Velo games posted on FB that they're fixing the bug that miscounted the transfers and the right number should be ready for tomorrow.
Mar 21, 2013 at 03:26 AM
I've never beein in 2nd place before!!!

Mar 22, 2013 at 10:19 PM
OK, Owens and Ragot have pulled out to an early lead but Owens has a total of -4 trades available. Something tells me they didn't actually set the cap.
Next race is Sunday G-W
