10 days to go...

 

Probably the same 50 odd people from the Giro, I'm in! 

 

Sure Tikki, Tombeej, Shaper, 'Dale, Cav, Auntie Gen, Etc, Etc will all be in as usual.

The rules for the Fantasy Vuelta comp - pretty much the same as the Tour.

 

Points for:

  • top 20 (each stage);
  • top 10 (GC);
  • top 10 (Sprinters);
  • top 10 (KOM);
  • jersey owners (GC, Sprint, KOM and Combined classifications);
  • most aggressive;
  • break (at intermediate sprint point - which is quite close to the finish line in a numebr of stages);
  • breakWin (riders in the break that stay away);
  • top 10 on final GC for each category (GC, Sprint, KOM and Combined);
  • overall aggressive rider.

 

No points for the team competition, even though there is a team TT to start the Vuelta.

I'll give it a go.

 

Never done it before, but have done the Rugby Fantasy leagues in the past. It brings a different element into watching the racing, should be fun.

Safe to assume the sprinters that do go won't stay till the end.. and will use some of the Vuelta as prep for Worlds?

Speaking of Worlds, the circuit is an interesting one... flat but lots of twisty-turns. 58m of elevation gain for each of the 7 laps.
