Giro Rosa is open. Time to close your eyes and pick 9 random names

ASO got the TDF velogames taken down 
24/02/21 - kandesbunzler said “I don't drink famous people."
15/08/22 - SotD said "Your [jandal's] humour is overrated"
11/06/24 - knockout said "Winning is fine I guess. Truth be told this felt completely unimportant."

What kind of assholes are these blokes from ASO. Perhaps it shows the kind of behavior towards Froome too.
They think they rule the world of cycling and that's why the war vs UCI. I understand even more now why UCI went after to get Froome cleared with any means only to piss off ASO. It was timing just after ASO decided that in their World Froome was not going to race.
How on Gods green earth can these shitheads decide over a fantasy game. Lots of other games are up and running all on TDF.
Perhaps they go after journalists writing anything without their say-so. What's next ???
I am flabbergasted over this news.

Well that sure is Shite. Guess that's one less game to play this season. Hopefully it will be sorted and the Tour de France will be back next year. Maybe he could just call it something else and misspell all of the riders names to avoid any trademark issues .
I see that there may be an Autumn Classics game this season. If that does go ahead that game will be counted as double points to make up for the loss of the Tour.
The PCM Velogames Championship will continue as normal. Please get your entries for the Giro Rosa in. I think the deadline is today at some point.

That's it, pulling Froome off his bike now.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

And while I don't want to hijack this, I do play a similar game at

Maybe if Velogames doesn't come back in time?

Why? What's Froome got to do with ASO being Arseholes?
I don't think we can start crow-barring different games into the Velogames Championship. It's a shame but there will simply be no Tour game this season. Hopefully it will be resolved by next year.
In the meantime there will hopefully be an Autumn classics game so at least we can replace our double point game.

Hang on. Who and where said it is ASO fault? I only read "due to a recent legal notice". Who said it is because of ASO? |

Well the wording "the current Fantasy Grand Tour game" implies he isn't being allowed to use the Tour de France name.
In addition to the fact that ASO just launched their own Fantasy Tour game, for the very first time. I notice that they tweeted about having 10k signups for it - while Velogames had over 20k for the Giro, and I believe over 50k for last year's Tour.
And who else would have reason to object?

Oh, I didn't hear about their own Fantasy game. Thanks for clarifying. If so, let them burn in hell |

Yeah it wouldn't count for Velogames Championship obviously, but it would be nice to have a TDF game going. If it doesn't get deleted as well.
PM me if people are interested in it and I'll set up a league.

Velogames TDF was shut down, most likely to avoid legal problems with organisers...

Feel free to add the details of any league this this thread Ollfardh. Obviously it won't count towards the PCM Velogames Championship but more than happy for you to use this thread to organise an alternative Tour de France League in the absence of Velogames.
