Velogames 2026 mini league

[No Ta Doctor]

This wasn't a good idea. I'm bad enough in the GTs when I carefully pick my teams and know who In picking and what the race is But when I randomly throw together some riders in about 30 sec, many of whom I've never heard of, it doesn't bode well

Did it very quickly halftime of the Arsenal match last night. My aim at the mo is just to be in enough of these to grab a few points in the final standings My reasoning is that the final ranking (at least for one of the other leagues I'm in) will mostly be based on how many entries, rather than how good they were

What is this final standing of which you speak? Is there a season-to-date version somewhere? I see CC leagues for individual races that's all.

Oh well, I suppose picking these teams means I get to know the names of a few more riders than just the usual suspects.

Look out for Victor Loulergue. I'm tipping him for great things because I've done a careful analysis of his career I think he has an interesting name.

He came in 85th. 1:42 down and the last of 5 riders named Victor.

Still, I didn't promise immediate results.

If you donate (don't think there's a fixed price, just what you think it's worth or what you can afford) there are different comps over the season. We're in the "Warm up champs" now.


actually, that bit might be for everybody. I the Cyclechat league for the current race, click on the "Overall race" header, like you would to see the results of an individual stage, then click on "Overall stage race championship"

I do donate so I'll have a look. Probably won't be good news

Actually, if it were not for my catastrophic TDU, I wouldn't be doing so badly.

Two firsts and a second yesterday. I picked Buster Crabbe mainly for his expertise with submarines, but it turns out he can sprint fairly well too.

I forgot to do a team for Tour of Oman.

If I had, I doubt it would have garnered any points. Looking at the results I doubt I'd have picked any of the riders doing well.

Same here. My teams for Valenciana and Besseges were pretty crap as well I think

Confirmed. Came last in both overalls, won a single stage.

If it wasn't for being 2nd overall in the stage race warmup champs (a position that is probs going down the drain now I didn't enter a team) I'd call myself Cofidis.

All gone a bit Friday 13th here. Could have sworn Velogames had Murcia and Provence both starting on the 14th, so thought I was well in time. Obviously they both start today and I missed the deadline by about ten minutes.

This is in keeping with how my week has been going in general

Ignore

Got teams in for all three current races!
Had Laporte in Ruta Del Sol and Magnier in Algarve in my teams.
Took them both out pre race

 

[Dogtrousers]

Grrr. Got distracted by work, so I'm out

So, I've done a team for the Velogames classics sixes for Omloop. So if anyone else is doing it then see you in the cyclechat league
