Thought it was about time we had a thread about this (sticky?), seeing as the Giro is nearly upon us.

http://www.nrtoone.com/fantasy/cycling/index.php?page=home

I shall be trying to sort out my team(s), in the next day or two.

Also, I've just put up a thread for the FP's for the first week of the Giro, and the GC and other classifications.

thinking about the team names.

my second team will get a slight name change which will make no difference to any one else.
as the team, my main team paid "homage" to is no longer under that name, i'm thinking a change is appropriate there, maybe Nolte-Piranha, or go the opposite way Nolte-Cod or Nolte-Plaice and go with a less ferocious fish name but tastier (although i've never tasted either a piranha or a barracude but i find it hard to see how they could be tastier than plaice)

and The Ace Men stays as the name.

I've done mine, but am still fiddling around.
Kathy: Off the top of my head: Kiserlovski isn't doing the Giro.
(this is why I'm fiddling, rosters etc)

What were MJM's teams? I'm wondering whether they'll turn up.....

This is my real team. Not sure if I will have time to fiddle a bit with the individuals, much less pick a joker stage for each. Other teams might appear, mostly like a cheap team and maybe no others. I really am finding it hard to keep up at the moment.

I hope the low number in our group is due to people not having set in the options for justcycling group as with my three teams

Ooh! I'd completely forgotten this - and i thought I'd put all my teams on JC. I haven't played any jokers either!!

Kathy's Klowns don't appear in the JC league yet, but hopefully will be there in a day or two - they have scored 81 points so far.
