im proud of my irrationality

 

[Andeh]

I went heavy on Irish/English this round, in anticipation of a slopfest.

 

[Gary]

finally remembered to drop Angel from my team. Dude's no doubt gonna turn up this weekend and smoke everyone now

 

[canadmos]

I'm an idiot and thought the timer on the frontpage of pinkbike was for the fantasy deadline. Welp, can't be any worse than my team last week, eh?

 

[Gary]

So is quali on NAO?

 

[canadmos]

Oui

[Gary]

Merci

 

[canadmos]

Richie in 38th, not bad.

Lots of USA and Canada riders on the start lists which is really cool to see these days.

 

[Andeh]

Fuck, Reece out with dislocated shoulder. Had him on my PB team.

 

[slyfink]

Richie in 38th, not bad.

does that mean he moves on to semis? I can't remember what the cutoff is from quali 1 to quali 2...

 

[Gary]

107 riders entered. those who stayed healthy enough did a qualifying run where the fastest 60 from that qualify for the stupid semi final and then 30 fastest from that qualify for the actual final from that.

All for Seth's pleasure

 

[Westy]

They had out ball gags and rubber fists at races?

 

[Gary]

They had out ball gags and rubber fists at races?

Yes. At the bratwurst stall.

Hope you didn't pick Scots. Terrible luck for Reece and Jordan

 

[Andeh]

I did have Reece on my PB team. Had Jordan on Vital team but was able to correct after semis to save the day.

 

[schwaaa31]

Shit. I forgot you had to pick a new team before every race on Vitals fantasy. Oh well. I suck at these every year anyway.

 

[Gary]

Hope you didn't pick Scots. Terrible luck for Reece and Jordan

Jordan couldn't be more English.
Greg should do decently this weekend. The only other Scot I can think of in with a chance of doing well is Henry Kerr but he's been saying he's Irish for a few years now. Don't blame him. British Cycling are a shower of cunts just like the UCI.
EDIT Henry hasnt made the cut

 

[Andeh]

Whoa, I won that round for RM. My worst finisher was Hatton in 14th.

 

[shirk007]

I didn't have a great round, somehow pick Mille not realizing that she didn't make finals. Still holding onto first of the Monkeys.

 

[Gary]

You two on about PB or Vital?

 

[shirk007]

Vital.

 

[Andeh]

Vital.

 

[Gary]

Ah..

Never had a Vital account

[Gary]

Was P1 in the PB RM league earlier with 316 pts
Now my 93 points from Leogang have been excluded for no good reason
Fuck off Pinkbike
Bunch of useless cunts

What was that about?

 

[Gary]

Apparently they left the door open for folk to alter their team while the racing was underway.
Some folk apparently noticed and took advantage of it
And like a fucking wet around the ears supply teacher PINKBIKE decided to punish EVERYONE.


TWATS

 

[canadmos]

Gary, relax Gary. It's just fantasy league about bicycle racing.

Grab a beer Gary.

 

[Gary]

Grab a beer Gary.

Thanks.

Ironically. I just hate other cunts wasting my time. It's MINE to waste! All MINE!

Tbn I'd rather they did it for Rd1 but yeah punishing everyone is a bit dumb even if it helped me a bit.

 

[Gary]

Shoulda just admitted their error and left it as is anyway.
If someone cheated and wins a pair of five tens WTF cares?
If your mate or someone in one of your leagues cheated then they're a twat.

 

[6thElement]

I had Angel and Reece for the last round.

But did have Amaury and Tahnee \○/

 

[Gary]

What's up with Angel? I had him in my team through earlier rounds not realising he hadn't even started. No injury flag next to his name.

 

[shelteringsky]

Have had Angel in my teams as well. Pretty sure he rode Poland and absolutely railed a corner but not sure about later rounds.

 

[norbar]

Yeah he seems to have issues qualifying. Ever since semis were introduced I think he has been doing worse
