Much like a real life team there are no substitutes.
Tony Martin is definitely justifying his 8 points cost so far. If only Talansky and Roland would start scoring I might do better.
CityCyclingEdinburgh was launched on the 27th of October 2009 as "an experiment".
IT’S TRUE!
CCE is 15years old!
Well done to ALL posters
It soon became useful and entertaining. There are regular posters, people who add useful info occasionally and plenty more who drop by to watch. That's fine. If you want to add news/comments it's easy to register and become a member.
RULES No personal insults. No swearing.

Oh well...

I fear I may be performing the role of base line for this experiment...
Hmm, well I was worried about the loss of Martin until I realised that I'd actually picked Daniel Martin entirely for the namesake. He has even scored points, unlike Boom.
Oh no. Wait rose lidl has overtaken fun bike. Someone's not going to be happy.
Boom!
Indeed he has finally picked up some points
Suffering from une grippe
Ooh, bounded up the league. Had scored 1300 points or so on the first 9 stages, then 700 on one. Did say my team was more geared to the mountains, but I doubt I'll replicate Froome, Porte and Quintana arriving in that order, with all three on my team (and some bonus unexpected points from Pierre Rolland. Woo hoo!
Still miles behind, but hurrah!
Cav has scored nearly as many points as the rest of my team put together, Definitely heading for the broom wagon.
Starting to think that having three members of team Sky will not compensate for not having Froome...
Also; Nibali. Allez. Please?
Boom was a complete disappointment. Surely with a name like that the cranks turn themselves?
Froomey looks like he has the micro doses beyond Bertie and nibby. My lovely boys nairo and Teejay still hanging on and mAjka starting to go which is good as lars is away to his grans end Tony mArtin blew it.
As the cyclists have been climbing into the mountains so Team Hmm has been unexpectedly climbing the leaderboards.
Everything to play for, with only 346 points separating the top five. Froome is certainly on a charge, though apparently someone has leaked his recent performance data. Can't be too successful, mind, as no-one will believe you. Cavendish and Tejay are still hitting it pretty well too.
My unseeded Aussie rider has contributed a whopping 8 points so far.
Only just remembered to check the final scores, and my team clearly made a late charge in my absence.
Third!
Glorious success.
Think quite a few teams had significantly different placing after the first week -

I only had four riders left At the end. I was the curse of the tour. Several just giving up as they were done in. Road cc let you substitute for injured riders
Oh, sorry, were people still playing this? I'm not sure I entered in the end....
*cough*
EDIT: *checks scores*
Ooh, late charge indeed!
Bah, didn't even get the cuillère en bois...
That's really cool, thanks!
Impressive charge from Darksider. Last to 3rd.
Mine charts the rise and fall of Tony Martin followed by the late Quintana challenge.
Is there a Vuelta league? I'm looking to redeem myself
The vuelta league entries close tomorrow at 6pm so we should get cracking with making a selection! I missed out last time.
I was left with only four finishing riders.mthe curse of gembo. Are they allowing subs?
Ooh, yes, had forgotten, must do that tonight!
who has control of the citycyclingedinburgh group or do we create a new one?
Interesting question.
(I have no idea.)
Presume either a group can automatically be rolled over to other events, or does have to be started again each time(?)
