Just thought I’d give you guys a head start

 

[cheeseypoof]

So can we now change it to for tomorrow?

Yes. Lineup automatically carries over but you can now change your riders now.

The scoring details on your page shows who is entered in the upcoming race start list (shows the race name) and who is not (start list is blank).

Gold4 of my guys scored zero points.

Only one had 5

Think my squad for today may challenge that number. Lol

Groves leading out Philipsen seems like a cheat code

Or not. 1, 7, 19, 20, 35, & 38.

 

[DA RAIDERS]

1,6,10,15,second to last, DNF

research.

 

[DA RAIDERS]

Time for more research! This is exhausting.

It’s fun though! Can’t wait for some races not on Flo bikes or whatever it is.

I didn't change riders. I guess that was not a good strategy.

Next up: Trofeo Laigueglia Wednesday March 5th. I believe the entries will open sometime on Tuesday March 4th.

@DA RAIDERS @Sand @BobbyLayne @Jaysus @Nick Vermeil Not Sure of Sand's Saddle Sores FBGs name (Douglas Fisher on Velogames).

Goona have to dig deep on this next one. There multiple teams I’ve never heard of.. research!

For right or wrong, I’ve mostly ignored rider from the Pro and Continental teams and tried to stick with riders from the 18 World teams.

I've mostly ignored guys who ride fast, stay upright, or like to get into breaks.

weaker field for the Italian race eh, highest ranked entry is 23rd, 7 in the Top 100

the other ProSeries race, KBK, had 5 Top 20, 22 in the Top 100

folks with OCD tendencies (looks in mirror) having a hard time - sure feels like the best team is less than 100 credits

pretty sure this will be my first time using less than 100 for a Velogames squad

Thought I was the only one with the OCD tendencies with this Velogames stuff. Haha

I used the 100. Mostly because I homered the Americans. Pretty cool Neilson is the favorite.

 

[BassNBrew]

I just copied the lineup suggested in Bobby's link. Basically kicking the can down the road to bigger events.

 

[BobbyLayne]

Think I hit 5 of the Top 7

 

[Nick Vermeil]

Think I hit 5 of the Top 7

I had Storer in the lineup until last night.

FTR, my 6th rider was chosen solely because I like his name - Odd Christian Eiking

keep an eye on this channel

live-streamed Trofeo Laigueglia today - no other content, 9K subscribers, from Belgium

it’s sans commentary & he cuts out to show the PCS race page for a couple minutes periodically, so not the best - but better than nothing for races that aren’t available in the U.S.

Copying a lineup from a link Bobby posted is pretty impressive stuff. That said, the reason I did so well was that Valcek wasn't available to pick. That square pedaling bust always suckers me in.

Velogames jumped the shark including events like this. While I did get a live youtube feed, Cyclingnews didn't cover this and most of the betting sites either didn't post odds or had riders available who didn't start.
