[#9303423]

Anyone else running a Fantasy team on Velogames for the Giro d'Italia? I've just set up a mini-league for STW, add your team

https://www.velogames.com/giro-ditalia/2017/leaguescores.php?league=930211494116

Velogames are running a series across all 3 grand tours this year

THE NEW GRAND TOUR RANKING

Fantasy Giro d'Italia 2017 marks the first contest in a new Velogames ranking that takes in points from all three fantasy Grand Tours.

For the first year ever, each directeur's score from Fantasy Giro d'Italia, Fantasy Tour de France and Fantasy Vuelta a Espana will be combined to determine the overall Grand Tour champion of the season.

Grand Tour ranking points will also be shown within each mini-league, for ultimate bragging rights across this summer's set of races.

I hope to announce a new unique prize associated with this ranking in the next couple of days, so make sure to enter your team into the Fantasy Giro d'Italia for the chance to score maximum points across all three races.

Get in

Ah, I thought this might be about a Montaro where the brow pad didn't go wrinkly.

I find the Velogames site to be a bit of a PITA on my android tablet. Anyone else get this?

Pirazzi and Ruffoni OUT of Giro after druggy naughtiness

Velogames standard is no transfers once the race starts, they did allow transfers between races if you ran a team for the spring classics series

Just entered a cheeky last minute randoms team using a second email address. Some random selections using the "how many points have I got left" technique...

Deadline for team creation will pass soon (should have passed already!) but you can join the league at any point I think

I'm in and so is my 6 yr old son - since he's started doing these he beat me in the Vuelta but I beat him in the TdF so this is an important race for us....

Well done Tom. Thanks to him my team did quite well in the end. However I lost Geraint and Ronan Dennis early on, otherwise my team would have been near the top, all this doesn't matter because I beat nbt. ๐Ÿ˜†

Great race and so enjoyable to watch.
