Because it's faaaaaaar too much work to put together an actual game and setting values would take ages. Just pick 8 riders, no budget constraints, 8 riders and I'll score it.

Yep! Sorry, the scoring: 50-1 finish, 5 point teammate, 10 point last, and 10 point breakaway (1 minute ahead at halfway mark, 15 rider max).

If you're new please join in and if you have questions pop them below and the forum regulars will answer as best we can.

Damn...missed this as well. Apologies to whoever set it up.

FWIW i looked on Saturday and had narrowed it down a bit. I didn't fancy Allaphillipe due to the last climb, Valverde i thought may have had a tiredness issue, Yates the same...in fact i dispelled a few.

My fancied picks, so far as i got, were Roglic as top pick because i thought that course absolutely suited him and he was rested, Bardet and Fuglsang.

That was about as far as i got.

Really good mad race though...excellent...

Tour of Turkey up next, and Lombardia final race of Autumn Classics. Then the Tour of Guangxi to round things off. I think the World Tour are sending a few more teams to both Turkey and Guangxi so they won't be the snooze fests they were last year. In fact, just looking at it now, Guangxi has a full compliment of WT teams...Turkey, not so much.

Man, that was a beatdown by Gecko!  Totally uncalled for!  Humiliating and unnecessary at this point of the season!  I'm calling for an Out of Competition Doping Test!  Anyways, Good Job, Gecko! 1 I hate you. Don't call me 

Thanks for putting it together Andy! You're the man! 1

We do still have Lombardia to play in the game, right? 1

Even geckos couldn't keep up with Valverde over hell hill today. Old guys rule!

To be fair enrique, I reckon I probably shaded it again but I'd hate gecko's too! At least these races don't count towards the season comps!

Thanks for sorting again Andy.
