Any #Velogames players out there? I play and am mostly terrible at it, but the biggest issue I am having is the lack of community. Seems like there should be some tribe members out there and I would like to find some.
If you would like to have some cycling discussion involving Velogames (or any other fantasy #Procycling games) I would love to hear from you. I like the competition of Velogames, but I would like even better to learn more about and discuss the ins and outs of pro cycling.
Thanks!
In dieser #Antritt Episode drückt @gerolf_antritt bei mir die richtigen Gartenknöpfe, weshalb wir am Anfang ganz leicht abschweifen. Wir bekommen dann aber die Kurve und sprechen kurz vorm Giro d'Italia über das Paralleluniversum #velogames und mit dem @junger.adfc über seine Rolle im "alten" @ADFC .
Nachzuhören in eurem Podcatcher und natürlich beim Podcast-Radio @detektorfm .

Der Giro d’Italia startet in Albanien, Anna ist per Velogames dabei. Ende April hat sich der Junge ADFC gegründet, Bundesjugendsprecher Sebastian Vogel berichtet.
Mein Team für den #Giro bei #Velogames kreiert. Beim ersten Durchgang waren noch 12 Punkte übrig, also nochmal ändern. Kein Bock mit #Roglic und #Ayuso teilzunehmen, selbst mit der Kombi bekäme man noch ein starkes Team für den Rest hin.
Since I seem to be crowdsourcing things today...
I have had OK success in #Velogames from time to time, but would like to do better. So, I thought I would start posting my proposed team here and some thoughts and see if that generates some discussion (I hope!) that might help me improve in my thinking.
So here is my team for the Fantasy Sixes Sparkassen Münsterland Giro:
1. Philipsen
2. Girmay
3. Milan
4. Lamperti
5. Vernon
6. Hagenes
Obviously this is a sprint heavy race. I am not so sure about Philipsen, it seems that maybe his last couple of races were not outstanding. Milan might be in that position as well. Hagenes is not a pure sprinter type, but he has been very strong lately and is a pretty quick finisher.
Any other ideas???
Being unsure about the form of Roglic and also his proclivity to crash, I left him off my #Velogames team for #LaVuelta2024 . I went with Almeida. Sad that he is out. Even sadder, Covid has reared it's ugly head in the poloton again. The Tour dodged a bullet, I think. We'll see if the Vuelta can be as lucky.
Considering my lack of success in #Velogames you would think I would stay away from any kind of cycling predictions. But fools rush in...
My take on the rest of the #TDF2024 and the rest of the season:
https://mylesryden.mataroa.blog/blog/tour-rest-day-thoughts-part-2/
#velogames Fantasy team for this year's #tourdefrance #tdf2024 (hopefully this year won't jinx these riders into abandoning in the first week)
As today's stage begins in the #Giro (I'll be watching it later on replay) just wanted to give my (too late!) rest day summary.
Considering that Pogi is running away with the GC so far, this has actually been a fantastic Giro! Pretty much every stage has been dramatic and interesting. When was the last time you saw someone in the Pink Jersey doing a spring lead out? Been lots of fun to watch!
On the other hand, my #VeloGames team has been decimated. I thought I did pretty well picking some up and coming climbers, Lipowitz, Lutsenko, Lopez, APP. Two have already dropped out and Lopez was apparently sick Stage 9. All I really have left is Pog and Milan.
At least the whole thing is great to watch!
zur abwechslung wieder zweimal #velogames auf einmal: algarve & andalucia.
Possibly unpopular #cycling opinion:
I think I am not taking #Remco for my #Argave #Velogames team. A bit pricey at 26 credits and it looks like all but one of the stages could end in a bunch sprint. Also, he didn't start all that hot last year.
I think #Wout has a chance in every stage, so is better value.
Discuss...
#velogames team tour of oman. irgendwie motto: vermeidung des offensichtlichen.
My take aways from #TDU
I know it's early to be trendspotting, but here goes:
1. I suck at #Velogames .
2. I really suck at Velogames and any similar contest.
3. Jayco-AlUla really sucked at TDU (except Chris Harper).
4. Caleb Ewan could be done (See # 3).
5. For not figuring in the race at all, Alaphilippe finished pretty high overall (7th) but I think he may never regain his top form again.
6. Where was Yates? (See # 3).
7. Welsford is not Philipsen, but he was awfully impressive.
8. DVP is not MVDP, but day to day is probably the best lead out man in the peloton.
9. Issac Del Toro is not Pogi, but he was awfully impressive as well.
10. Given their results last year and at TDU, Israel-Premier Tech is punching WAY above their weight, perhaps the best money/results ratio in cycling.
11. Oscar Onley and Bart Lemmen both have great names and very well may be worth keeping an eye on this season.
12. Numbers 3-11 (inclusive) are probably totally wrong, see Numbers 1 and 2.
13. I am dumber than a sack of hammers (see # 1 and # 2). Who makes a list with 13 items??
#couchpeloton and #velogames players, if you have not seen it, you should.
A gang of Velogames fanatics receive the creator and the man behind Velogames!
#procycling #peloton #BikeTooter #tourdownunder #Cycling
Having not heard from anyone that there is a #CouchPeloton Velogames MiniLeague, I went ahead and created one.
Feel free to join at 344717613
See ya there!
#CouchPeloton Suddenly found I'm not doing too badly in the #Velogames #LaVuelta23 comp. at the moment.
A silly cheering little note in an otherwise crap week.
Thanks to everyone who joined the Allez Mastodon mini league for #Velogames fantasy #TDF2023.
Congratulations to Christophe who took the Mastodon maillot jaune. The top three positions narrowed towards the end, but Christophe maintained a long-held lead to Paris.
Enjoy the rest of the season and hopefully see you again next year.
