Following Fantasy Tour de France there is now a Fantasy Vuelta. You can make a team here http://road.cc/fantasy-vuelta and enter league code 16276 for the Weaver Valley league.
Hi Woody,
Robert and I will be doing this! We had a lot of fun doing the Tour, but I reckon this will be much harder....
Cheers
Claire
Difficult selections for this one! Team picked, I'm in...
I'm happy with mine, gone for a few spanish domestiques! 🙂

Good call. Just been looking at a bit of form before I start work. Might make a few changes!
Hi Woody!
It sounds like you will get sweet revenge! Robert has seen my fantasy team and burst out laughing! I currently have no Spanish riders or Spanish teams. I am locked into a bit of a Tour de France 2009 groove. I know next to nothing about the Vuelta, as I only watched the Angliru bit last year! Oh well.....
Claire
Hmm I should have kept that bit about Spanish riders to myself shouldn't I?!!
Well, I worked that bit out for myself....the problem is that I don't want any Spanish riders, and that is why Robert is laughing so much! I have just picked my favourite riders from the previous Giros and TdFs!! If I don't personally like a rider, I won't pick 'em! That's Boonen out then....

Excellent! 😆 So it's not just my good lady who does that! Her selection criteria is based on nice boys who love their mums(!) Schlecks were in for her in the last couple of tours!
Think I've made the last of my team changes now.. until the next bout of indecision..
😉
That is right! The Schlecks are some of my favourites, too. It took me a while to forgive Cav for ditching Melissa and taking up with some Italian floozy etc.....

Better not tell my wife about Cav then! She's still an Armstrong hater for him leaving his wife and shacking up with Sheryl Crow years ago!
I think that your wife and I would get on well!!
Hi Woody,
Are you doing the 'Purists' league or are you changing every night? Rob and I are changing every night!
Claire (AKA Speedy1319)
I'm giving it a couple of races and then will see but I need to make urgent changes as 2 of my riders haven't even started!!
I am confused by the new system - I may have picked riders of more value than 150 points. This means that I will probably get zero points for today. This will give everyone else a chance!
