Watch this mess - only 8 riders took the correct path on the final sprint.

never have i seen such a thing

'Winner' Ganna won't say anything, but others are furious after fiasco in Tour of the Algarve: 'It's ridiculous, really a joke'

A bizarre finish to the first stage of the Volta ao Algarve. In the last kilometer, the peloton followed behind the motorcycles, and in doing so, they drove into the vehicles’ exit lane. Only a few ri...

Ganna is right. He knew the course and won on the course. No way they should take the win away from him.

We each have one rider out (Quinn x2, Milano)

You seem like you’re setup well, differentiation should favor your squad

 

[cheeseypoof]

22 points separating us after 4 stages. Cool that it's that competitive so far.

 

[DA RAIDERS]

It hasn’t updated yet. Nice to see welsford. Fun stage. The UAE is a weird looking place.

 

[BobbyLayne]

Yeah they're quite slow to update this week. 5th straight stage finishing 2nd.

Thanks! Yes, I enjoy these contests. I'm down for doing them whenever.

 

[BassNBrew]

Damn that was a tight one.

Are these one day classics even worth doing a contest? I did the World Championship last year and if you have one guy dropped you're pretty much toast.

 

[DA RAIDERS]

Eeetttveeellldddtttdd. Cost me the win. He finished 11th. With just a modicum of effort on the the final stage and I’m on top of the podium.

Here are the specifics from Velogames Superclassico Fantasy Sixes - Their ongoing one day race competition. Sorry this is long. Readers digest version. You enter 6 riders for each race, you can change riders for each race. You can enter as many, or few, races as you want. The 2024 schedule is below.

Rules of the Game​

Overview​

Each player takes the role of a Directeur Sportif of a professional cycling team. The aim of the contest is to select the best possible team of six riders to compete in each race, across a full season of one-day racing.
Directeurs must select their six riders based on a budget of 100 credits, and unlimited team changes are allowed in between each race to allow each team to field a completely new selection for each race. The better the riders perform during each event, the more points they will accumulate for their fantasy directeur sportif.
The Velogames Superclasico Fantasy Sixes 2024 campaign begins with Strade Bianche on Saturday 2nd March 2024 and continues through 40 races until Veneto Classic on Sunday 10th October.
The initial contest calendar is subject to change in the event of any race cancellations.

Important Notice​

Velogames Fantasy Cycling is not an official partner of, nor claims any association with, any professional cycling race organisation, any international sporting body or any professional cycling team.

Team Entry​

Players must use the official entry form page to submit their team. Team entries must be submitted before the entry deadline for each race, otherwise they will only become effective at the next available deadline.
The entry deadline for the first race of Velogames Superclasico Fantasy Sixes 2024 is 11:00 CET on Saturday 2nd March 2024. Make sure to have confirmed your initial selection of six riders before that deadline for the chance to score points at Strade Bianche.
Users may enter Velogames Superclasico Fantasy Sixes 2024 at any point, and their team will start scoring points from the next race deadline.

Entry Deadline for first race​

The deadline for entries to be submitted - and score points from the opening race - is 11:00 CET (Central European Time) on Saturday 2nd March 2024. All times are listed in Central European Time (CET) or Central European Summer Time (CEST). Make sure to check how your own time zone differs from CET/CEST to make sure you meet the entry deadline!

Team Selection Criteria​

In order that each player creates a balanced team, the following important constraint is placed on team selection:
Team Budget
In order that each directeur creates a balanced team for each race, standard team directeurs are given 100 credits (the Velogames currency) to select their team of six riders.
Each rider is given a value in credits, based on their prospective points-scoring abilities. The credits values are based on past results and recent form, with an emphasis towards those riders who have been successful in previous editions of the classics.
Rider credit values will not change for the duration of the Velogames Superclasico Fantasy Sixes 2024 series.
For the Velogames Superclasico Fantasy Sixes 2024 series, there are no other team selection criteria apart from staying within the credit limit and selecting a squad of six riders.

Team Changes​

Pre-Game Team Changes​

Each directeur can select, and then make unlimited changes to, their squad of six riders prior to the entry deadline for the first race of the season, Strade Bianche. The entry deadline for Strade Bianche is set at 10:00 CET (Central European Time) on Saturday 2nd March 2024.
Once the deadline has passed, each directeur's team selection is "locked in" and cannot be changed while the race is in progress - any subsequent changes will only take effect at the deadline for the next race in the series.

In-Game Team Changes​

Velogames Superclasico Fantasy Sixes 2024 allows directeurs to change their roster of six riders between races, in order to keep their team competitive throughout the season.
Velogames directeurs can make unlimited changes to their six rider squad in between each event.
Team changes become effective at the next upcoming deadline for the following race - at which point each team selection is "locked in" and cannot be changed while the race is in progress - any subsequent changes will only take effect at the deadline for the next race in the series.

Race Selection Deadlines​

There is a deadline ahead of each race when team rosters are locked.
If any change of riders is made after the published race deadlines, the change will not take effect until the following race. So make sure to get your changes in ahead of the deadline for each race!

Scoring Points​

Points are allocated to riders based on their real-life performance in each event, subject to the Velogames Superclasico Fantasy Sixes 2024 Scoring System.
Points are awarded in three categories: Finishing Positions, Assists and Breakaways.
Points for Finishing Positions make up the major amount of points available, and are awarded to the top 30 classified finishers in the race.
Points for Assists are awarded to the real-life team-mates of riders who finish in the top three, to recognise the efforts that go into putting a team's rider into a winning position.
In order to score assist points, a rider must start the race - but they do not have to complete the course.
Points for Breakaways are awarded to the riders who animate the race in its early stages and also those involved at the head of affairs during the crunch moments leading up the the finale.
There are four nominated Breakaway Points Sectors during each event, where the riders in the leading group on the road will all score points.
The first Breakaway Points Sector is based at 50% race distance.
The second Breakaway Points Sector is based at 50km to go.
The third Breakaway Points Sector is based at 20km to go.
The fourth Breakaway Points Sector is based at 10km to go.
Velogames will review video footage and race reports to ensure an accurate distribution of Breakaway Points, but in all cases the decision of Velogames is final.
For a full breakdown of how to score points in Velogames Superclasico Fantasy Sixes 2024, please visit the Scoring System page.

If I’m understanding this correctly, the contest starting this week will be season long, for 1-day races only. 45 of them…we can do whatever ones people want, personally I am probably only interested in the top 6-8 Classics & the 5 Monuments, + Worlds…we’ll see how that goes.

UAE Tour was part of a separate contest, the Warmup Tour or sumtin’ like that.

Starting with Paris-Nice (Mar 9-16), there’s another contest for all the major stage races, including the 3 Grand Tours. The races they’re using hasn’t been announced but I imagine will be largely the same as 2024:

1. Paris-Nice 3/9​

2. Tirreno-Adriatico 3/10​

3. Catalunya 3/24​

4. Itzulia Basque Country 4/7​

5. Tour de Romandie 4/29​

6. Giro d’Italia 5/9​

7. Dauphine 6/8​

8. Tour de Suisse 6/15​

9. Tour de France 7/5​

10. Tour de Pologne 8/4​

11. Renewi Tour 8/20​

12. La Vuelta a España 8/23​

Which classics? What are the Monuments?

Obviously you can join any Velogames contest and then use the same league code for any one day race.

My only thought is 45 is too many and I’d prefer to pare it down to the races with the strongest fields. Maybe something like this:

Top classics

• Omloop Het Nieuwsblad
• Strade Bianche
• E3 Classic
• Gent-Wevelgem
• Dwars door Vlaanderen
• Eschborn-Frankfurt
• Amstel Gold Race
• La Flèche Wallonne
• San Sebastian
• Bretagne Classic
• GP Québec
• GP Montréal

Monuments

• Milano-SanRemo
• Ronde van Vlaanderen
• Paris-Roubaix
• Liège-Bastogne-Liège
• Il Lombardia

Warner Bros. Discovery has halted plans to launch a $10 paywall for its B/R Sports tier, while also pulling sports and news content from the Max ad tier starting March 30.

For those relying on Max for upcoming races, you might have to upgrade. They have the Giro.

In for whatever races we do. Entered a squad for the Omloop on Saturday. Not really sure how to approach building a squad for one day races.

I have to see what level I have (Ads or no Ads) as part of my Hulu/Disney+/ESPN+/Max package. I'll most likely upgrade if I need to.
