Fantasy Cycling goes provincial

Thanks to the fact that lots have you have chosen a region in your road.cc user account, we're now able to show regional tables for the Fantasy Cycling game that we're bringing to you in association with Evans Cycles. And what does it show? It shows we're getting our collective arses kicked from across the Channel, that's what.

The regional table is now online at the bottom of your game home page. And while it makes especially grim reading for Welsh participants and those from the North East and Scottish Highlands, most of us aren't exactly covering ourselves in glory. Have a look...

Easily top of the pile is Europe, with 181 users averaging 42.25 per stage, well ahead of the chasing pack. Chapeau to our Northern Irish contingent, who obviously take their fantasy racing seriously; they're in second, and the Edinburgh and Borders tranche of Scotland lies third. After that it's the rest of the world and Eire, and team GB take over from there. The South East may have the most users playing, at 503, but it's the East Midlands making the running for England with a 32.65 average. Our beloved South West is languishing in 15th place despite our best efforts, and propping up the pile is North Wales. Perhaps they're all actually out biking instead of sitting in front of a computer...

If you haven't selected a region, then you won't be in a regional league, natch. To pick one, click on your name in the user bar at the very top of the page (or follow this link), hit 'edit' and click on 'location' - pick whichever suits you best, you can argue the toss over whether you're 'South' or 'Central South' if you live in Reding. Don't forget to save.

The regional data doesn't update to the game automatically but you'll be in your chosen league soon enough, we'll try and update it every day. Happy local in-fighting!
