2016 Vuelta a España

[Frosty]

I'll have a go. What's the "wooden spoon" prize though ;-) ??

A smack on the bum - with a wooden spoon

Only 5 days to go.

Amazing how there is dramatically less hype about the other 2 grand tours.

I suppose a lot of people are also caught up with Olympic fever.

Provisional start list, starting to fill up.

Only 5 days..erm, how did that happen.

A little unimportant event called the Olympics!

 

And the Vuelta usually is used as a tune up for the world's too. So not all the attention is directly on the race!

Not hugely impressed with the Spanish coverage of the Olympics. :-(

By when do we need to sort out our teams?

[Gen]

I really need to get my team sorted

I haven't even started looking, work has been insane 

 

Hopefully I can still sort it out on Saturday morning...

Where do we enter?

I have asked Admin and Nick to setup the same team selection webpage like we've enjoyed for the last few Fantasy competitions. They must be busier than me, as I haven't had a reply yet. That said, only one team still needs to finalise their team line up - according to ProCyclingStats, and that is Cannondale-Drapac Pro Cycling Team

Worst case, you send me your team by PM and we do it old school. If the entry form is available before 12:00 on Saturday then we can use it.

 

Rule remain the same.

I'll share the infamous Google Sheets file tomorrow.

 

Maybe we can work on an honesty system and you fill in your own team on the sheet.

Doing the Bella Bella 5150 on Saturday, so will have to PM you my team on Friday if nothing up?

 

Confirm team numbers (9) and subs (3)??

 

Have not been able to review the race route or riders... so going to be a wing and a prayer pick on the fly!!!

Yes, 9 + 3 riders.

No teams

 

Good luck for Saturday

Google sheets won't work like a planned - it doesn't accept the INDIRECT formula.

 

The plan is to select a team, then it only shows you the riders from that team.

 

It works on Excel - will try share it in Dropbox.

Here is the link to the Dropbox folder - please check if you can access the file and folder.

• You type your Hubber name in column G
• If you've typed it in before the colour will stay red. Green means only once.
• You select a team name for each rider column;
• Then select the rider name in that team.
  If you select the rider twice it will show in red, Green is good.
• That's it. Save then close.
• Obviously Dropbox creates conflicted copies, but I can work around that. This is the backup plan if the BikeHub team selection isn't setup, and you haven't sent a PM.
