Well I've made two rash changes ....before looking at my placing today
Dropping Rosa and making a second change too in order to get a decent replacement, this is not going to plan.
A few faces managed to drop a whole chunk of time today, with a hilly looking stage tomorrow, could be a few in the breakaway.
At least, that's what I'm hoping!
there is some non premium players with scores ...
Weird ...
Can the non premium players ... play this competion ?
None premiums should not be playing this game, it should not be selectable.
I've emailed Dave, but it is almost 1am....
Lets hope they get chucked off the tour and it gets sorted
Is there a more macho man than Johhn Degenkolb doing interviews?
He's fantastic at them.....as if his answers are direct challenges 'The team were great for me today Hmm?'......and that 'tache too
#ManCrush?
I can still see non premium teams in this comp and they are still scoring points , any news?
#Mancrush.
Making no changes for tomorrow. A combination of sagely saving my transfers and ignorantly having no idea of who to pick.
That sounds about right. I've not found much info about the length/incline of the climbs for the next 2 days, so impossible to make a judegement on whether sprinters can make it to the finish - I reckon just wait and see today...
got the email Thanks
I've had the email after every stage. Perhaps people should check their spam to make sure it hasn't been plopped into there.
Scores are uploading.
I'm currently missing the results of the intermediate sprint which I can't find anywhere so that will be an additional 6, 4 and 2 points to add once those results appear. I may just leave it until tomorrow and wait to see if the official site lists them overnight.
Also, an email should have gone out confirming scores, everyone who signed up for it got it?
At least the late appearance of Jabba in 12th has given me a few more points. 1,8,12 and 15 now.
If he is then I have 12th as well
2,8,11 for standard and only 12th for purist
here's the 16 - 20.
16 MARTINEZ, Yannick (EUROPCAR)
17 SILIN, Egor (KATUSHA)
18 BRUTT, Pavel (KATUSHA)
19 FELLINE, Fabio (TREK FACTORY RACING)
20 BARGUIL, Warren (GIANT-SHIMANO)
Steephill have Hutarovich in 12th on their results ?
I've not been getting the scores email everyday! ? had it twice during down under and once for Qatar! ?
1,4,8,11 std so far
Not sure why you didn't get the email though.
I assume you've set the email settings? I've not been getting the stage score updates that I signed up for so not sure. Something for Dave to look at me thinks.
Cough Cough....when did Maciej Paterski get removed from the startlist and why didn't I get an email informing me of this change?
Now my purist is one man down
When i logged on this morning with about 30 mins to go he was blanked out as i had him in both my teams.
1, 4, 10, 12 std 8, 11, 13purist hmmmmm
1,8,14 for std. I wish I'd had the courage of my convictions and Sonny C in both teams instead of just my purists (3,8 & 12)
1,4,8,12 standard and 8,9,11,12 purist. Combine the two for a decent score. Reason I didn't pick Napolitano was because I thought today was his only scoring chance, so will be kicking myself if he makes it to the end tomorrow as well!
That's my excuse. The other days are lumpier.
Although stage 3 is only 63km... even I might make the time cutoff for that...
That directvelo site is brilliant. Love their Google Earth parcours maps.
