I have created a mini-league for this the first cycle racing tour game of the new year and to make it interesting have made my mini league £5 internal entry fee with the winner taking all the prize money.
It’s easy - pick a team within the budget of 100 credits - even if you know nothing about cycle racing as there is no changes allowed to your team in my classic league so once the race starts (01:30 CET on Tuesday 16th January) only your starting team will count in my money league. So you could end up winning by picking names you like the sound of as racing is really quite hard to predict with crashes, injuries, quitters and team tactics all coming in to play… so why not spunk a fiver (£5 GBP) and take a chance… who knows it may even cause you to try and see the results online or trying to find some coverage on TV /YouTube/the internet just to see how your chosen riders are getting on. But if not the Velogames website will show your points day by day and at the end of each days racing and whoever is top of my mini league at the conclusion of the race will pocket the cash. The Tour Down Under is just a 1 week race - so just 6 stages long.
Velogames is a free web site that runs separate fantasy games on cycling races:
Velogames classic league format is perfect for those of you that don’t have much time but like to have a go, as the only time you need to spend on any of their cycling tour games is at the beginning selecting a team before the start of the race (as there are no changes allowed once a race is underway in their classic leagues). Before a race starts though you may make changes to your team as often as you wish if you decide to try and find some previews or do research - though doing so has never worked for me in the past so this year I’m just plucking names I’ve heard of along with enablers to get within the team credits budget. So be interesting to see how that goes.
