Velogames 2022 - The VUELTA Open for Entries 🇪🇸🚴🏽‍♀️

I don't think this new strategy of mine is looking too clever this evening. Every b***r else seems to have at least two of Pog, Rog and WVA. I didn't pick any of them. How perverse :cool:
 
After three stages we have reached the first rest day as they move the race to France for Stage 4 on Tuesday. Time for our first table update

Duck takes an early lead from Just a Kiwi and B_G. Early days.

Ah! I appear to be in the wrong league! (Tour de France by Tissot) I wondered where everyone was.
 
I’ve enjoyed the giddy heights of 16th overall, but now down to 200. Still good going. 7 riders left now.
 
Duck even with a week left you have this one sown up barring a catastrophe. well chosen having the top 3 scorers and Cort too. you have les virtually feom the first few stages.ewn1FA1FEF1-0714-4953-A84F-257A94608B8A.jpeg931972C0-0C87-43E2-9A34-4D6426CCAF1F.jpeg0A4AAB51-8EC5-4047-9412-5EDADCCB9AF4.jpeg

Apologies - sort of killed the FMTTM league as a contest. So far. I had a bad weekend though and teams were catching me up. If Pog and Vin perform in the mountains that should see me through.
 
Well done everyone this time around. I’m delighted to have topped the FMTTM table for the first time on a Grand Tour but clearly questions need to be asked about how a Velogames veteran like myself has suddenly shown form.

95th overall as well, happy with that. But what a fantastic race overall to watch. Brilliant edition. This year.
 
Yes here is the final table and Duck (Mr Fridge) wins from MCW and RedPete 2nd and 3rd

and the Stage Hunter also won by Duck with Just a Kiwi and Red Pete making up that podium

Amazing choices from Duck. Worthy winner.

My deviation from normal strategy was actually not a million miles out but I made a couple of late changes that turned out to be stinkers. I swapped Van Aert out for MVP quite late on, 4 points difference in cost. The thinking was that the extra 4 pts would allow me to bring in Schachmann and Hirschi. So I kicked out superman and brought in the three stooges basically.
I have enjoyed the craziness of this tour but it has reminded me of the bad old days of Pantani, Lance etc. Ridiculous stuff.
