What is "Fantasy" Tour de France? Long story short: I ride with all (this time 176) riders. And I only control that one specific rider. I use team comm for other riders, but without much time investment tho.
I'm playing with the best 8 riders by average of each team. But! If one of the riders have really low MO stat with other low ST stat, I'll just pick other rider with lower average but higher stats. Why? Because this game finally have time limit on stages. So yes, your rider can be outside of time limit.
How is time of specific rider created? I ride with a rider X. I only control this cyclist. At the end of Tour I take time of winner, add time of my cyclist > that gives his "Fantasy" TdF time. Example:
TdF winner time: 84h00'00"
Rider X time: +16'37"
Rider X real time: 84h16'37"
Pretty easy, right?
This time I'll do it differently. I'll not post regular updates of every rider I finished Tour. But just casually post some updates once every few days with overall thoughts of some riders, game and specific things. I think it's going to be quite interesting because I have few thoughts I'd like to share. Well, we are on cycling forum, right?
You can check what's left from previous two attempts:
So, Do you actually want to see another attempt at it? I have to say I already did like 30+ TdF and I already had few interesting results to share. Much harder to play this time - CHAMPION difficulty since very beginning. Not professsional like in previous attempts. So no, I'm not winning 11 stages every Tour.
