I'm winning!
Not by much though, 90th overall around 80 points back from 1st. Had a cracking bonus stage but been flagging for the past couple of days and I've got Kittel and Rojas who are both out. I'm waiting for new transfers too so I can re-do my team for the weekend/time-trial.
It's not as bad as I expected, a different challenge but still fun, not as good as road.cc overall and the UI is god awful but I'll probably see it through to the end.
I'm doing a lot better in this competition than I'm doing on here. Currently 2nd in the Road.cc league.
Are you doing road.cc and not roadcc? Should be league name road.cc, and leave password blank. Took me three goes with different combinations! (My team is les flames rouge by the way - was running low on inspiration...)
thanks Chris! mystery resolved.....
TER - I joined your league
Oh yeah - double m - who knew?! (Answer - everyone except me - d'oh...)
ok, loopy tunes has joined the road.cc league. . . hoping to win stage 1, and then forget about it
Right, I've joined in, just so you have someone propping you all up at the bottom of the table.
I've loaded my team for the Prologue, then we'll see how bad it gets
So, is this your team TER?
The security/privacy on the halfords games is 'different'.
Bradley Wiggins,
9.0
Cadel Evans,
10.0
Peter Sagan,
6.5
Gustav Larsson,
3.0
Tony Martin,
5.0
Fabian Cancellara,
5.0
Fredrik Kessiakoff,
3.5
Simon Gerrans,
7.0
David Zabriskie,
Erm yep that is my team
crumbs. mine is almost identical.
the interesting thing about the Halfords game is that the "spending power" as manager seems to be overly generous. This might initially make you think that the game will be easier. But it could make the game much harder as everyone will be able to buy the top riders.
anyone else have a view on that?
anyone got any good ideas on which stage to pick as your "bonus stage". I've currently gone for stage 17 but I think I've called that wrong(?)
Final team:
Wiggins
Evans
Sagan
Cancellara
Martin (T)
Larsson
Zabriskie
Gilbert
Chavanel
Liquigas and Stage 2.
I have joined Halfords Mini League too. Team is letsgoup2. Hope I don't get black balled...
Re Bonus Stage - I went for the last TT, as I find them easier to call and it should be clear by then who's on form. Plus simple maths - there will be less riders in the race by then!
Errr, I wouldn't ask Dave about this.
Word.
We can't join the Halfords road.cc league (via sbs version of game). Looks like it's Aussies vs Brits, just like the real thing.
And Nibali.
Oh, and Sagan to win all jerseys.
P.s. Road.cc's game is much better!
The Halfords rules really aren't particularly clear. Am I right in thinking that if I make transfers now my team as it was at 9am will score points and my changes will apply for tomorrow? I'm worried that if I start making transfers for tomorrow only 4 or 5 of my riders for today will be scored rather than the 9 as at 9 this morning.
I think I'm playing too many fantasy games... Anyway, I've applied for the road.cc league - team name is Voigt Club.
Any idea how many weeks it usually takes halfords to update their scores?
they may be done by the 22nd of July at a guess
Has anyone worked out how ma y pts their team won in the halfs game?..
Hahaaaa.
Voigt Club.
Classic name
We focus on 'quick' with 'accurate' a distant second
Did them from the campsite today, very jolly
I make it 106, kinda wish today had been my bonus day but it isn't.
OR, I could just NOT understand this game at all and i've scored 200
Only 102 behind the leader overall and only 3rd in the mini league
My bonus stage is sunday...team is stacked with puncheurs....who pro bably save their legs for week two
