Fantasy Vuelta a Espana
www.velogames.com
League Code: 865211020
So there I was, pouring myself a delicious glass of EPO, rubbing my crotch with chamois cream and getting ready to slowly ride eight abreast on country lanes, when I saw Velogames tweet that the TdF edition of their excellent fantasy league is now open.
So for the third (or maybe fourth) year, I've set up a WHO league for you lovely people.

League Code: 605421720
And as per usual, feel free to post about the build-up and the race itself on this thread. Chapeau!

Well done Dan (****) ;-)
What a great couple of races, Contador yesterday was supreme, deserved the victory and the great send of today regardless of the past.
Roll on 2018.

It was superb to watch Contador yesterday. There can't have been anyone who didn't want him to take that stage. He rode like a warrior!
Amazing from Froome. What an athlete! Won GC, points and all round jerseys. DOMINANCE.

It was great to see Contador go out like that on the Angliru. What a race, far more happening than the Giro or Tour on a brutal course. Froome is approaching the greats now,

Well played Dan, good work. Torino hammer rank last which was also very enjoyable!

Well done to Chris Froome for an unprecedented Tour-Vuelta double and, more importantly, well done to me for winning the WHO league.
Thanks to everyone that joined one or both of the leagues this summer.

The good news is that I found a free live stream for the laptop.....The bad news is that the commentary team is the humourless dull Sean Kelly and the irritating voice of the commercial radio dj / QVC type false presenter of Carlton Kirby....
Hopefully with the increased popularity of top level road cycling next year ITV4 will show all 3 grand tours live....
then I can only hope that they ditch so many advert breaks (far too much to expect!)

Eight in with a chance of winning? I think that's a bit generous!

You need to use code 865211020 not the one on the top post. That's the old TDF league.

Orica can play three cards every day in Yates x 2 and Chaves.
Not sure any team can stop them attacking one after the other. Especially as Sky won't be able to dominate the front of the peloton.

This is probably the strongest grand tour GC competition of the year, there are eight I reckon who are in with a chance of winning. Given the route it is not much of a surprise that the sprint field looks thin.

I've joined the league again and am now there OK. But if you know Barry Turner/Sea of Sky could you give him a nudge and tell he he needs to rejoin. He is now in a league with just him in it for some reason
