RECORD ENTRY FOR FANTASY GIRO D'ITALIA 2008! ONE DAY TO GO TO GET IN YOUR TEAM!
Welcome to Velogames, the site of Fantasy Cycling!
Latest News
It's been a bumper entry so far for the first Fantasy Grand Tour of the year, with just over 1000 entries received so far, and over a day to go before the deadline of 1500 CET on Saturday.
Check out the rules and scoring system, before heading over to the Official Entry Form to submit your team.
Passcode issue resolved
A number of teams that entered their teams over Thursday night experienced trouble entering mini-leagues, because their team passcodes were not correctly logged into the system.
I am happy to report that this issue is now resolved, and the original passcode sent out with your team entry is now active for use. Sorry if you were one of the teams affected.
Closing Date
The closing date for entries is 1500 CET on Saturday, shortly before the start of the opening stage.
Mini-Leagues in 2008
For 2008, the site has been improved to allow Mini-Leagues to be set-up and entered right away after your team is submitted. You may therefore immediately set-up your leagues by filling in the required details on the main Mini-League Request page. The entry process has been streamlined so that all entries are allocated a passcode automatically. Simply type your code into the Quick Find box in the top-left corner of the screen. This will take you to
your Roster page, including Mini-league sign-up options. It is hoped that this addition to the site will smooth the entry process, and allow mini-leagues to be set-up with the minimum fuss. If you have any comments or questions, please get in touch on the Contact Form.
Introduction
Velogames is proud to announce another season of Fantasy Cycling contests, starting with the first Fantasy Grand Tour of the year, Fantasy Giro d'Italia 2008.
We will soon find out whether Danilo Di Luca can put a difficult few months behind him and defend the Pink Jersey he earned as Giro winner in 2007.
This year's race sees another Team Time Trial to start things off in Palermo, followed by the undulations of Southern Italy, before the long slog north towards to mountainous battlegrounds of the final, explosive week. With a hard trek across such brutes as the Plan de Corones, Passo di Gavia and Passo di Mortirolo, the back end of the Giro is yet again going to be decisive.
The rules and scoring system are now up on the Fantasy Giro site. The rider list, and the cost of each rider, will be published at the end of the weekend, as the professional teams select their final squads for the 3 week race.
It is predicted that the Fantasy Giro d'Italia 2008 will go live for entries next Tuesday, 6th May.
I look forward to seeing your team on the road in 2008!
- George Chapman, Owner of Velogames
