Fantasy Giro 2026

I think Velogames Italy is heading to The Dracula (who?) unless something big happens this stage. Think I'd need Hindley and Arensman to catch Gall to get the win

Reminder that the women's Giro starts on Sunday

There are four entries so far

Also in.
I always include a fellow countryman in my teams, sometimes it is easier than others.
Happily to include 6 countrywomen, including the world champion!

I’m the Dracula. It’s a tall order for you, I’m hoping to be in for some assist points today. Like King Kelly says on a big mountains day things can change.
🧛🏻‍♂️

I've chucked one in, but I haven't been paying attention at all. Are the usual riders and teams still good?
I've gone for the historic La Vie Claire kit this time, as obviously it's for girls with a name like that....

I used my usual method: Couple of expensive big name riders. A handful of favourite riders. Fill in what's left with cheap riders with interesting names. Never fails.

Sorry, that should have read "nearly always fails"

Sorry, it starts today! Not Sunday

Wiebes DQ'd. Will not start stage 2. One of my 3 foreigners now gone.
I had little chance of doing well but hoped to attain mid-table mediocrity challenging @Dogtrousers. Now will likely slide down the league.

Somehow I've grabbed a stage win with Elisa B and a few other well placed finishers
But I see what I've done, I've accidentally packed my team with sprinters, as I got my Elisa Bs and Elisa L-Bs mixed up 😱 I'm going to get massacred in the mountains. Losing Weibes probably isn't going to help either, unless everyone else had her as well

Don’t worry too much about the ladies it’s been a disaster for most already. Think of the men’s TDF soon because The Dracula will be taking another grand tour. Blood bags in the freezer are ready. Fail to prepare then prepare to fail.

I'm super-happy to be on the podium. Came up against a couple of guys who were just stronger than me but I hope to be back stronger after my altitude training for the Tour. I'm going to pick the team upstairs.

So many had Milan as a sprinter but the folks who picked the better Paul Mag didn’t have good enough climbers luckily. Also everyone seemed to over look Felix Gall. Fair few pulled out after crashes & illness too. Then a few guys gambled on the Danish anchovy abandoning.
Dauphine starts a week today!

Please with 6th. Highest place of those not picking Vin and if Yates hadn't crashed out...

Chapeau to @Milzy!
Well done also to @No Ta Doctor and @rich p, taking the other podium places.

I recommend joining the Dauphine as practise for the soon coming TDF.

Yes, there's also a load of other comps that run alongside the stage races for those that make a voluntary donation - and as far as I can see only three of us have done so. I reckon chipping in a fiver or so to the guy that built all this and keeps it all updated and running is worth it
