they ususally do Pro-Tour Pundit on here - I'm looking to become a neopro this year...

Rozzer won last year, hence his rainbow stripes!

I was wondering this too, as BikeRadarForum had one last season.

My team is up and running and have entered an open league so far.

PostieJohn

I'm in, when were up and running.

MrJim007

Yep, I thought so. Ive set one up again if anyones interested, heres the code for the BikeRadar League. 75489.
Cheers

PostieJohn

I'd already joined a league of Brighton football fans, from my other t'internet home.
So for the purposes of the bikeradar league, PostieJohn = Stat Brother.

Yea Pro Tour Pundit will be back soon, first race in Feb I think. Hopefully keep the rainbow stripes this year

I have also signed up to the road.cc one

ddraver

Do you have to pick one team or do you just try and guess the winner? Not sure I can be bothered with the former in my debut season...

MrJim007

Approved all so far.
You get to pick a team and then usually get 2 transfers after each stage.

Why don't you pop along to the Brighton fans league, as well. 75484.
The more the merrier.

Thanks for setting up - in once again this year representing the "Long Term Lurkers" massive, this time as 'Bjarne Riis' Piercing Stare"

I always start out with the best of intentions before losing interest just before the Giro.

If I am doing well I might stick at it for longer this season.

Looks nice on the road.cc site as well.

MrJim007

Im not an overly regular forumite but did enjoy this last year, good to see a few familiar names have signed up again!! Aiming for ViveLePants this year.
I didnt have a great classics season last year but did well in the Grand Tours and clawed my way up the leaderboard!

Thanks for setting up, will give it another go this year and see if i can crack the top 100 for a change

durhamwasp

Ive just requested to join (again! accidently pressed "leave league") - snookcycling

I Reckon i'll give it a go, have really done a fantasy cycling league before will be interesting to see how it goes. Good warm up for PTP which I'm going to try to complete this year.

Request sent for Wheeling & Dealing.

OK, can someone explain how the scoring works - why is Kohler in 2nd place?

archieboy

Thnk thats the old Ted Rogers 3.2.1. intermediate sprint bonuses kicking in...

asprilla

Didn't realise this was running this year. I've already got a team so I've just requested entry to the BR league.

thegibdog

Don't think my all Aussie selection policy is paying off...

smithaay

request sent.
SIMPLY THE BEST

MrJim007

Bit slow on the uptake for me, I set the league up and the first 2 stages passed me by, DOH!!!

yourpaceormine

My Aussie policy has messed my points up a bit; I went for the bigger Aus names - Renshaw and Goss for example, who I now realise are much more European than some of the lesser Aus stars. Goss and Renshaw clearly early in their training (like the rest of the European peleton) - I was expecting them to come out all pistons firing trying to get a first win for their new teams (and out of Cav's leadout).

Being really busy at work has resulted in a purists team, not through choice more through necessity; haven't the heart to change it now for one stage.

Hopefully earn more points when a) I understand this year's scoring system (that should really be 'read' how the new points system works) and b) when the proper racing starts
