I have a long history of second place finishes in fantasy cycling. I'm the first place loser. Back off!

@Ryan J is Kyle doing ok? I just noticed how his team was doing and was a little worried about him.
May 24, 2013 at 02:40 PM
Ryan - please convey my thanks to Kyle as well. If it were not for him it is possible I could come in last place.

@alyoshas is dusting me.....i demand a doping test.

I passed the above concerns and thanks onto Kyle, who sent me this excerpt from a recent article on The Pussies turbulent Giro:
"Shortly after the withdrawal of Hesjedal and Wiggins, the Pussies lost their title sponsor, the Livestrong foundation. We contacted team director Kyle Johnston who stated plainly that the Livestrong board of directors were all 'ass men'. When asked if the team would compete in the coming Tour de France, Johnston said 'they will probably all be eating each others asses then, so no."

Looks like I'm playing Cuddles to Owens' Uran.

And fantasy bum Atapuma came in with a 9th! Cav win tomorrow should result in my first place loser triumph.
May 27, 2013 at 12:00 AM
Ian! No one could close the massive lead he established in his solo break. I was fat Cav closing in the final K, but it was too little too late.
Congrats. Did he win socks? Free chamois butt'r?

YES? I did not come in last or next to last or even next to next to last. Instead I came in next to next to next to last.
I'd like to thank my sponsors, Craig and Stearnsy and Kyle. Without them, I couldn't be where I am today. Instead, I would be lanterne rouge.
Wait, I could have gone for the fame of being the worst? Damn it, now I am an anonymous finisher...
Next time Pinky, next time, we'll take over the world.

I was doing so well. Nibali, Cav, Uran. All I needed was Gesink/Hesink or whatever he's bloody called to put in a performance and I'd have been sitting pretty above the Jeffs but below the Ian.

I went from hero to zero
from the classics to the Giro.
Here's to better days in the Tour
where my ranking I'll restore.

The Giro was just a training race for me. Gives me a chance to get the "yeah, I'm totally gonna haul in a shit-ton of points with David Millar on my squad" outta my system.dstearns said:I am so going to not win this. And so, I will pepper my roster with has beens and never was's from Euskatel.
I don't peak till July. See you in Corsica, wheel-suckas!
May 29, 2013 at 04:13 PM
let's see it happen! don't let me drop you like a bad habit again in any case.
May 29, 2013 at 04:45 PM
that's a lot of trash talk from the arse-end of the rankings.

I think Ian is still serving a suspension for his assocation with Mr. Santambrogio.
Jun 20, 2013 at 02:30 PM

This is great! Pro cyclists are now campaigning for fantasy team slots:
“Why should people select me in their Fantasy Tour Team? I think you can always score a good deal of points in the classification and as I’m shooting for a top ten spot, that may be as good a reason as any. On top of that, I’m relatively quick in the uphill sprint so that should deliver some extra points.”
