Fantasy Vuelta a España '25 **No Spoilers**

Not sure how I’m up to second in the comp now. Thought I’d picked a few duffers and a mistake going for Roglic over Evenepoel

Completely forgot this is still going. See I have slipped quite a bit.

I was feeling a bit sorry for my team until I looked at @SidSnot’s selection.

It’s like he’s playing Covid bingo :joy:

I lost Michael Woods right at the start. Then Ala yesterday. Rohan Dennis didn’t even turn up.

:laughing: No kidding, I was doing quite well until they started dropping like flies

It’s difficult to keep track :man_shrugging: but I think I’ve only lost Loulou to date . Plapp, Dennis & McNulty have underwhelmed so far :frowning_face: . It will be good to see Fred get a win but we’ve all got him & points wise he’ll be a dead rubber.

Looking at the team I’ve also lost Yates, who I needed to score well and Bobby Jungels is a zero pointer, so guessing he didn’t even start?

I don’t think Wright, Roglic and Pederson are going to win me much vs everyone else! :roll_eyes:

Lamentably I haven’t followed any of this :roll_eyes:

Unfortunately my choice of Bennett over Pederson is going to cost me and Roglic over Evenopoel.

The rest are all ok and I hope MA Lopez starts going something.

Another good day for me with Lopez doing well. Closing the gap to the top and putting some space between @Jorgan who was very close yesterday.

Uh what?! :rofl:

ETA - ah yes, I appear to have rallied somewhat.

And ANOTHER podium for poor old Fred. That boy has to win a race soon. Surely?!

He needs to come on the club run and we can teach him lead-outs :joy::wink:

And I’m off the bottom.

Sadly in all three Grand Tours I’ve finished in the bottom half of our fantasy leagues.

One for the 2023 goals?

Who ended up winning the fantasy league?

Never mind that, who “won” the Vuelta?

Fred Wright?

Last minute jump!

And did anyone actually have the winner?!

Carapaz came good with a decent points haul from his multiple stage wins. Pederson scored well. And then obviously Remco with GC and a stage win, plus the other high ranking GC guys.

Unbelievable. Was in first place after a couple of days and ended up bottom. Worst ever placing.

I was doing terribly at the start and ended up rolling in 2nd place for ages. Finished 3rd at the finish and happy with that.

Hindsight says Evenopoel was a better bet than Roglic
Mads better than Bennett
Fred Wright was the standout bargain buy (got that right)
MA Lopez started slow but came good

Covid and crashes makes this format hard to get right. Even our venerable winner lost two riders and a third didn’t get a single point!

I had similar and with a few days to go was in 4th but gave it up as 1st place looked to far ahead to catch.
Checked earlier and boom! Really not sure how that happened.
