CityCyclingEdinburgh was launched on the 27th of October 2009 as "an experiment".
IT’S TRUE!
CCE is 15years old!
Well done to ALL posters

@Bax-San has nudged me into creating. I was scunnered after the giro so mostly just picked my favourites Boason Hagen Tony Martin etc did not spot the gorilla, is he in it?
Have fun
Enter by next Saturday morning, go on, go on go on
Andre is there under sprinters, yeah. 10 points
Could change went with the kitten ahead of the gorilla
Just bumping this up the list pour encourager les autres
froome seems free to ride on, i thought his case was up soon?
as far as i can make it out, the extra salbutamol is itself no major performance enhancement
but the 2xLimit suggests a possible blood bag infusion with an inherent miscalculation over the accumulation of salbutamol
guess we'll never know
Yikes. Missed this as was in cycling action
@amir, you are free to pick him but all his titles including fantasy tour competitions will be stripped
Suggestion the organisers not wanting Le Froomey?
Can't see how ASO can stop him competing, but I don't think that will be the end of it. Can see the French public getting involved...
so it was 19% over the limit, not 200% ?
does this mean its ok to be 20% over permissable limits ?
not a lot of clarity here
7 extra puffs not 70? So maybe not a fresh bag of blood maybe asthma?
Just trying a different record in my Froomey Disco
Oh, here is my old record now - This is going to be Lance all over again.
Old Father IWRATS writes; the best way to find drug cheats is to look on the podium.
i triumphed in last years fantasy CCE grand tours with froome as my main man (1 and 2)
but vc craiglockhart took the honours in the giro this year and he was entirely froomless
so it can be done, we should reflect on this
Entered - interested to see what happens!
Entered as well, can't imagine I'll be bothering to top of the leader board.
fit like, osmond
hale jingbang o feel gypes on here, so dinnae fash yersel
Just saw that velogames has been shut down. Legal issues apparently.
madness
Legal issues over stripping all points from Froomey backers?
is eurosport fantasy cycling still on?
You have to wonder what the story is.
george says "Due to a recent legal claim, entries into the current Fantasy Grand Tour game are currently suspended until further notice"
note that he only says "entries" are currently suspended
i notice the leagues and teams and everything are still there, so he might update the points daily anyway
the situation is becoming clearer
there's now an "official" non-velogames fantasy league
they've copied velogames but apparently the points system is not so good
"At each stage, you will have to select a Road Captain : his points will be doubled at each stage! Make the right choice every day!"
ffs i don't live behind a keyboard every day, mate
Earn the most points possible by selecting your team of cyclists (8 riders) to start the race. Then, you will have 1 change available at each rest day during the Tour de France 2018 to adjust your strategy.
(and you choose your road captain daily, from your existing team, and his points total doubles on the day)
well i've re-created my team at the official place
there's a "Fantasy CCE" league created, with password H155U to enter your team
what rubbish. how can they just steal someone else's system and then shut it down. have they shut down all the other 'unofficial' fantasy sites too? or are they big enough to pay them off (e.g. eurosport).
agreed, its a mess for this to happen on the eve of the race
there's more ongoing team strategy required at the official fantasy site but the points allocated are weird and some riders are not pickable
I don't know if the legal issues have come from Le Tour but I'm protesting by not entering their "Official" fantasy.
I am taking my Bidon home
