Up to 6th place in the league now.

Any chance of a review so far then Pantani ?, as it's your baby.
3rd place finish in the league for me so far
I'm happy enough to just be looking down on SB at this stage in proceedings
Easy tiger.
It took me a while to get to grips (read) the scoring.
I think you'll fine I finished strongly and won't get caught with my bibs down, come Nice.

I'm also liking the idea of a 'cycling' thread for 11 months of the year, before we all move, en masse, to The Tour thread every July.
To that end, I was just looking for another film to put up, but I'll be jiggered if I can find it now.

Yep, nice strong finish on the final two stages there it has to be said. A good while until Paris - Nice, so plenty of time for you to swot up.
All good fun of course.
There it is.
Admittedly I've not watched it myself yet, but now I know where to find it.

Hmm I thought I'd joined the league, apparently I hadn't, doh!
I see a Lazarus on the cards.
Plenty of time and a gerzillion points, up for grabs.

I think they do scoring for overall and for each event (with the spring classics counted together), so there is plenty of fun still to be had. Plus you can score crazy amounts of points per day if you get it right, the overall leader has 831 points which I believe is over 130 points per day.
Heads up every body they seem to have added the Tour of Qatar to the game so the next event starts on 5th February, not Paris-Nice as it was before. This really will be a Tour for the geeks. Not like Australia where you can just pick all the home riders, famous Qatari cyclists... err... erm... no... there aren't any. Plus I think my top secret ultimate weapon will probably be competing in this Tour so beware. My top tip pre this tour starting, only pick sprinters, the official website does not even show stage profiles because it is so flat.
Congratulations Mr Collins on a superb start, I was hoping my previous experience would give me an unfair advantage but alas this has not been the case.

The Tour of Qatar is quite dull, IMO. There is no beautiful scenery like Italy or France. It lacks any cols, which takes out a huge tactical element. It's a pointless marketing ploy by Qatar.
It's officially flatter than Keira Knightley after a boob reduction (that's my excitement levels as well as the course).

Don't forget to pick your team for tomorrow's start of the Tour of Qatar.

I think it starts very early our time. You'll need to be up early if you don't want to miss out.

Meh, I'll stick with my current team. It was full of sprinters anyway.

Mum had just told me Contador has picked up a 2 year ban. I thought he was cleared of steak-gate.
EDIT: Seen the headline now. Mum had misread it. Actually said he could face a 2 year ban.

Confirmed now, Contador banned for two years. A good thing I think, it shows that no matter who you are, or how little an amount of drugs you have in your system you will be banned. Hopefully this will be the last case for some time, surely no one would be so stupid as to risk cheating now.

Just watched the end of the second stage of the ToQ. Garmin first, Quickstep second, Sky third, I can't remember who were fourth, Liquigas 5th.
Better points for me today I think, I only got 8 yesterday
I only picked up 7 yesterday.
I'm glad Contador got banned. The Spaniards seem to try and cover up any doping so WADA have made a really strong point today. Good on them.
