2018 Bike Hub Fantasy Tour

Recommended Posts

We are still busy finalising the points and verifying the results. Overall points are not yet reflecting. 

 

 

A few years back we did the Giro or Vuelta (can't remember which) just for fun and bragging rights, no prizes.... was just as much fun!!

 

Maybe Admin can do the same again.....

 

I can remember that...maybe ADMIN can make a plan for us to play the other races?

Just for bragging rights?

Anyone with time on their hands trying to figure out what the best possible selections for the three phases were ? 

 

That was fun, my team disappointed,  Some of them will be looking for contracts if I have the last say.

simple:

 

1st week sprinters + GVA

2nd week jersey holders + Alaphilipe

3rd week jersey holders + GC guys.

 

and obviously Sags every time.

thanks to Amdin+Nick + the sponsors.

 

That was fun. I will adjust my strategy for next year, it involves a DeLorean and a flux capacitor.

 

I think where it got hard was that the jersey leaders didn't change from day 11 to the finish, it looks like everyone in the top20 had Gee in their squad, well done to y'all!

A few things *preventing me from running the Giro and Vuelta comps like before:

 

1. Lack of time;

 

2. Capturing everyone’s team: for 20-odd participants it’s okay, but still requires time especially with the continual mind changes [humour required for the last part of the sentence [emoji16]]. For 100 or more, it is (feels) exponentially more. This is why it moved from having to send a PM/email to an automated, online capturing system;

 

3. Scoring: the spreadsheet is available, but requires quite a bit of maintenance, especially when the scoring changes from Giro to Tour to Vuelta, or when the ways to score Fantasy points gets too complicated. Also, the source of data (classifications) differs for each event... some clever scripts can fetch data, but that’s slightly outside my field of expertise if not in a table format.
