It's time to make your transfers in the Fantasy Game ahead of perhaps the most important month so far. The Giro d'Italia takes place in May, and is predited to have a huge impact on the game - so you will need to use your transfers wisely. There are no ProTour or Historical races other than the Giro, but there are some HC races which could be useful to bare in mind. The one day Eschborn-Frankfurt City Loop on May 1st, and the Stage Races of 4 Jours de Dunkerque, Tour of California, Bayern-Rundfahrt, and Tour of Belgium.
As usual, each team is permitted to bring in up to 4 riders, with no limit on the amount you get rid of. You must make sure you stay within budget, while having at least 16 riders, of which at least 5 must be from a ProContinental team. You can check the forum if you need a reminder of your current team line up.
Some new riders will also be added to the game this month:
Labbe |
Arnaud |
80,000 |
Cofidis |
Rutkiewicz |
Marek |
180,000 |
Other teams |
Sagan |
Juraj |
100,000 |
Liquigas |
Wurf |
Cameron |
120,000 |
Androni Giocattoli |
Labbe has recently signed for Cofidis, Rutkiewicz was added per a request, Juraj Sagan has been added as he will apparantely be joining Liquigas from June, while Wurf has actually been riding for Androni since the end of February. Please note also that following his move to Katusha, Giampaolo Caruso counts as a ProTour rider - not ProContinental.
As usual, the deadline for transfers is the end of the month - this Friday. |
