Autumn Classics
Does it say anywhere which races are included in the "Autumn Classics"? The Competitions tab says they start tomorrow, but since a) its not open yet and b) I don't think there are any races tomorrow, I'm assuming thats not the case?
Just want to make sure I don't miss anything!

Just to add, is this why people think cyclists are odd, the fact that a brush can ellicit such strong views? 🤣

should be done
That's one for Dave, I cannot switch them.
But there will be no more races added. 1, trying to find more details and 2, I cannot add anymore teams
Could we change the default competition page to the Autumn Classics?
Missed the first race.....cost me a top 10 place overall in the Forum's Scorum's.
Start working out where you went wrong this season, work out how to correct it and plan for the Tour down under....
Then get researching your women's racing
My initial research tells me that Marianne Vos is quite good...
I hope you keep publishing the fruits of your exhausting research. I just might rely on your research given your enthusiasm for the sport
Just put down eight more names and I'll be good to go... Unless the new races are Premium, of course! 
Shame the Tour of the Vendee didn't make it, kind of assumed it would be in, but no matter given the lack of info available.
More to the point, WHAT AM I GOING TO DO AFTER THE TOUR OF BEIJING FINISHES!?
Well?
Oh, lets see, how about planning your list for Santa which includes lots of nice cycling gear, then its just a short hop to the Tour Down Under and it all starts again
Given that the wife's on maternity leave and I'm in in the unlikely role of family breadwinner, I essentially AM Santa this year. So I doubt I'll stretch much further than a pair of socks and a tenner (of course!) for 2014 fantasy cycling!
If I'm extra-good, I may splash out for the Eurosport player.
But for the off-season, I suppose football will have to do...
Paris–Bourges and Tour de Vendee were the two I cut.
I also had Coppa Placci and Chrono des Nations on the list, but decided not to include them. With Beijing starting soon, that will bring an end to the season, then the real work begins to get 2014 set up.
Some big changes coming
There will be no more races added now that its open
Even if we beg?
I have not long received a list from RCS, the organiser, so just doing a final update
Found a start list and road book here...
http://www.acarona.it/wordpress/milano-torino-domani-e-il-grande-giorno/
Nice... thanks!
I looked at that start list and this one:
http://www.cyclingfever.com/editie.html?detp=view&_ap=startlijst&editie_...
Saw Diego Rosa on the Androni start list but can't find him in the game...
Its the same as the world champs, purist's can change teams for ever race
can someone tell if there are any transfers for the purist game?
Now worries, I was just thinking, doing an update of the last stage before your account went might bring back everything
Still struggling with a full start list, but going most of them in
Gkam,
Dave has managed to recreate my account with all my stage scores and most of my badges. I was never in with a chance of winning any of the comps so i'm happy just to have my account back mate.
Don't know if it will be on TV.
Stumps, what was the last stage where you had scored and your account was working?
Where can milan - torino be watched on tv?
Hi guys, can I just check whether its unlimited transfers for purist as well?
As i've lost all my results for the year i have nothing to play for so my standard team is made up purely from Italy and my purist is set up with a few long shots just to have a bit of fun.
Ok, they are open, the Milano roster isn't totally completed, hoping to have a full startlist tomorrow.
Its been made unlimited transfers for each race....I had it set up differently, but its Dave's race, I was just mucking in
It will be open tonight, Binche-Tournai-Binche doesn't seem to be going to Tournai this year.
The other's you have listed weren't even on my list of 6
You think we might be able to fit in these 2?

How about adding this one as an end of year bonus?
20th Chrono des Nations Road France 1.1
The start lists are starting to fill out (below) and they're looking very much like the start lists for Milano-Torino and the Tour of Lombardy. I hope we can at least add the more challenging Giro dell' Emilia? The more mountains the merrier!

http://www.cyclingfever.com/editie.html?detp=view&_ap=startlijst&editie_...
I guess I've never followed the races you considered and put up... except for the Tour of Lombardy, and sometimes Paris-Tours... I'm kind of surprised you didn't think of the Coppa Sabatini and the Giro dell' Emilia...
When will the Autumn Classics be open then?
