I've done a search and can't seem to find a thread on this so thought i'd post it up.

http://www.velogames.com/

If you havn't done this before, or know what it is basically Velogames is fantasy cycling for the Giro and the Tour.

Sign up, pick your riders (based on a points system, max of 100 points) and you're away. You can then also sign upto leagues.

I have created a Bike Radar League, just enter the code: 01101301 once you have created your team.

Good luck :twisted:

    Ditto me at the Vuelta. Learned me for not picking either of Contador or Valverde.

    Assume you have created your team? You then have to enter the league code and confirm your entry.

    Have you clicked 'enter here' in the right hand corner above your details? I was looking at the rider list before I noticed.

    You can't make subs, quite annoying because i picked Meersman so i only have 8 riders, still doing allright though, 9th (Sky High)

    Not bad Walter!
    I was 13th last night i think? Carry On Cycling team. Definitely makes the whole thing a bit more interesting and I'm taking more notice of indivudual riders names and performances

    I too had Basso. Not doing too bad considering I gave myself a one rider handicap from the outset! :D
