Thread: 2012 Tour de France Fantasy Cycling

Do you guys just want to concede now? Cause Coghead has this thing wrapped up. And yes, I'm talking in third person bitches.

Bring on the tour. HGH always wins. Cant wait to see the Cavendish vs Sagan battles

From last to first.

beerpower ready to roll. Am I the only team without wiggo?

NBC finally has its site up so I've created a group there and updated the first post with this info.

Group: TGR2012

TGR2012, you mean?

and now we get to see everyone's IRL name (presuming they expect to see prizes)

Damn, the NBC rider values are really skewed to Americans and the Nissan team. The only way that Sagan ends up with fewer points than Schleck, Leiphiemer, Farrar and Kloden is if he crashes out. And how will Horner and van Garderen accumulate more points than the oddsmaker favorite to take the polka dot jersey?

Oh yea, the bookies put Sagans odds for the green jersey above Cavs. So why is MC worth almost double?

Some real values available if you ignore nationality and team...

I somehow named my group on NBC "TGR". I think it was when I was searching.
Whoops

Hell, no. He's gonna crack like a genetically modified egg under the pressure. He's been talking himself up, always a bad idea before a race. Also, he's English.

Big talk for a team that's already lost a rider...

Yup. Thanks for pointing that out. I've corrected it in both places.

Wait ... what?

(scrambles to regroup)

Edit: Fuggin Arroyo. No matter, he was a minor pick. Made a couple other changes. Now you guys are REALLY gonna get your asses kicked.

OK. I finally got my velogames login figured out. Team name, "Blazing Saddles".

I'm Blazing Saddles on the NBC site as well, just have to get my team set up.

Maybe I'm retarted...for the nbc group, how do you see other team's rosters in your group? I can find the list of teams, but they don't seem to be clickable

You can't view other team's rosters until the race starts and the rosters are locked (you'll still be able to bench/activate riders each day).

Team Blue and Orange finished high in the Giro, which means a total flame-out in the Tour... Unless I can figure out the right doping scheme for Fantasy Cycling.

Any ideas on the best place to stream the tour from???

i'm paying $30 for the nbc feed
i did it last year and it was worth it
(we don't have cable)

You're welcome

Wow, your team is now just a climbing machine

Jamespio, you might want to double check your Velogames roster too, before it's locked...

It's Saturday morning and I should be outside sweating and working in my yard.

Instead I'm inside sitting on the couch in the AC, drinking espresso and watching the prologue...

Happy almost July!

Martin has to have a bike change. He's done for the stage, was tied with Chavanel at the first time check.

and Wiggo is off
