road.cc fantasy cycling 2011
Okay, so we want to run a season-long compo next year which will take in the three grand tours and some other races too. But which races?
It's been suggested that the classics are a good place to start. here's the classics list off of wikipedia:
Milan – San Remo (Italy)
Ronde van Vlaanderen (Belgium)
Gent–Wevelgem (Belgium)
Paris–Roubaix (France)
Amstel Gold Race (Netherlands)
Flèche Wallonne (Belgium)
Liège–Bastogne–Liège (Belgium)
Gent-Wevelgem (Belgium)
Clásica de San Sebastián (San Sebastian Classic) (Spain)
Paris–Brussels (France/ Belgium)
Paris–Tours (France)
Giro di Lombardia (Italy)
Others under consideration are:
Tour Down Under
Tirreno Adriatico
Tour of California
Tour de Suisse
Dauphiné Libéré
World Champs
The idea would be to have a season-long compo with the three grand tours available as a standalone event too. sound good? any more suggestions? the more the merrier.

I'm in
i cant see hausler either.
Also can you see other teams selections if youre in the same league?
He's definitely not there and we'd better definitely find him. Heinrich Haussler shall return
hi, i can't think of a really good team name.
i would like one with a pun to do with a pro team. any suggestions?
Blue sky thinking ??
For a team lacking climbers: Col-No-Go?
Can't wait for the first race!
leotard?
where's Haussler?
I was wondering that.
But they are so expensive
Anyhow, I've got my team sorted and I'm on par with the road.cc team! It can only go downhill from here, I'm afraid. I'm too dumb for this
No. you can pick an inexpensive team leader and climber though, if you like
make sure you join our 'beat the road.cc team' league too, #6493
More news on prizes later. They gunna be worth playing for, i can tell you that
It's live!!!
I don't really like that I have to pick an expensive team leader and climber for the classics. Can't I leave them out and have a team of 7 or select two more domestiques?
you'll be wanting the purists' league then
it all goes live tomorrow...
When can we start looking at the riders and building our teams?
Personally, I don't think we should be able to transfer riders during a stage race - in the real world they can't.
I am super excited to play the full season this year. My husband and I were looking for a fantasy cycling game before the start of the Vuelta last year, and that is how we found road.cc.
I played as a purist last time, and hoping I can keep my resolve and keeping it going this year too.
Thanks for the game! The hardest part is keeping myself away from the scores during the day at work, so I don't give away the actual race that I want to watch when I get home.
and it will, the game engine is mostly built and we're just dotting some i's and crossing some t's about the rules and the prizes and such. it'll launch in plenty of time for the Milan - San Remo, don't you worry...
Have subscribed to this thead in anticipation of the competition starting
is it not possible to have the Tour of Britain as it runs concurrently with the Vuelta..?
thought so.
Milano-San Remo
Gent – Wevelgem
Ronde van Vlaanderen
Paris - Roubaix
Amstel Gold Race
La Flèche Wallonne
Liège - Bastogne - Liège
Giro D'Italia
Criterium du Dauphiné Libéré
Tour de Suisse
Tour de France
Clasica Ciclista San Sebastian
GP Ouest France - Plouay

Fantastic choice of races... can't wait to get started!
the road.cc game is slated to launch mid feb, to give you a month to make your picks before the first scoring race, the milan san remo.
all good things and that
Thats great - that will stop me checking the website every few hours.
Could you leak a definitive race list to upease our excitement?
we're not ignoring you... we're busy beavering away
It looks that way...
I can set up a temp mini league on cobblestone to cover us until the road.cc competetion starts if anyone is interested.
I think they are ignoring us... we are the supergeeks of the bike world! Haha
Just picked my team over on Cobblestone... This is for up to the first transfer window in March.
If I could replicate that in the game on here I would be happy with that squad.

1 Nibali Vincenzo [Liquigas - Doimo]
2 Cavendish Mark [Team Htc - Columbia]

4 Porte Richie [Team Saxo Bank]

Any news on the games?
haha, me too.
I have some riders in mind.
Really trivial Dave but on the football one on www.premierleague.com and on one of the online cycling ones (sorry can't remember which one), you can design a kit.
Can we have a kit design for our team?
