 But does the wheelset fit on your bike...? That what I always wonder in these contests, if the company sends wheels that fit your bike

 @Chingus-Dude: I hope he chimes in, but I think on the Losinj results article comments he said his bike doesn’t fit boost hubs Big Grin

 I'm new to being a team manager. How do you guys deal with underperforming riders? Should I DM them on instagram or something? I really can't afford to spend over 200k on a rider and not win a 5k Trek at the end. That would be a really bad bussiness plan...

 @MoonboyMTB: big call on Norton paid off. I gambled on Finn and it cost me
  • 1 0
 @MoonboyMTB: what made you go with Norton? Was he a lucky pick or did you build your team with him in mind?
  • 6 0
 @Cashman39: haha, yeah Finn ate it hard. I saw Dakotah at the Windrock Pro GRT, as I was there, and he got 2nd, beating a lot of top pros and I knew he would be one to look out for.
  • 6 0
 @gcottrell4: I was hella rooting for Dakotah Norton, he’s a big inspiration for me because he comes from a town without much mountain biking, like me, and is racing on the World Cup circuit now, like I want to do eventually. Also, I was at the Windrock Pro GRT sad saw him race and get 2nd and knew he was gonna be putting down heaters this season

 @MoonboyMTB: good on ya! You deserve the win and those sexy wheels!

 Isnt it 985?Not meaning to be picky,just checking,maybe I overlook something
  • 1 0
 @rodasrodinhas: who would you have for 985?
  • 1 0
 @ciszewski: Got it! I didn't realize the points scored have its own Fantasy League score table, tought it was the UCI points on the result list.So the absolute points possible for the first 4 men and 2 women is 1220.
  • 1 0
 @rodasrodinhas: yeah absolute, but if you take into account salaries max for round one was 945.
  • 1 0
 @ciszewski: Some have disapeared from the names list, Like Katy Curd , dont know how much was the salary, but even knowing the final results its hard to come up with better than 920 , Eva Battolla was hands down the better value from the names remaining on list, Katy Curd could yeld more points, dont't know.
Care to share the 945 combo?Plz?
  • 1 0
 @Cashman39: I was picking between Finn and Matt Walker.
  • 1 0
 @rodasrodinhas: I don't remember Katy Curd as an option you could choose. First time I saw her name was on the results page, but I could be wrong. It does seem like there are less options then there are actual riders.
  • 6 0
 Can you guys post somewhere (preferably within the fantasy page), who scored what for the first round?? Unless I missed it, it's pretty hard to get a feel for where people are at and how the scoring works without seeing the results on one page. Also, this is awesome, and I find myself trying to check it, a dedicated link would also be awesome!
  • 1 2
 Go to the "How to play" link right above this comment section. It tells you how many points each place gets. You can also see you personal total on your team page.
  • 2 0
 @millsr4: I understand that and have done exactly that, but seeing your "weekly point breakdown" would be really useful, and is a main feature in basically every fantasy platform. This way makes you pull up the how to play page, and then pull up the results page and add it up yourself.
  • 12 0
 @tgent: this will come to the page, you should see the breakdown by next week

 Oly crap I got 460 points. Nice. Family and friends used to do the same thing with Formula 1. 1.5 million to play with and you had to buy 2 drivers, an engine, tires and chassis. it sure was a lot of fun as I didn't pay attention to F1. This is only my 3rd year following the UCI DH series and I am hooked. Sure would love to see a May race.

 460 is solid, you beat me by 4 points Wink

 @Iceisnice: definately! I believe that we are starting to the the new generation of podium toppers.

 @MoonboyMTB: Olla MoonboyMTB, and thank you for the reply kind Sir. Yes, I concur. One of the new riders/races is the son of some very good friends of mine. It was really crazy watching Finn (bummer about the crash) thinking "omg, it seems like only yesterday that I was watching him in the BMX track when he was a toddler". Where does the time go! Happy riding my UCI DH friend.

 @Iceisnice: Definitely! That must be weird... lmao Big Grin My goal is the be part of the generation of downhill racers after this up and coming one Wink
  • 1 0
 @MoonboyMTB: Excellent!!! What a fantastic goal. I wish you all the best in achieving it.
Ya, it is kinda "weird"... Time...its so relative. I won't even mention that his father and I go back to the 80's, causing all sorts of 'trouble' (actually fun) in Banff, with our crazy little group. Oh, I guess I just did. Cheers

 Will you release the highest scoring possible roster from this round? It would be really interesting to see how you could have gotten the most bang for your buck
  • 1 0
 I don't think that would be easy, too many permutations. If for exemple you would assume in women Rachel would be first and Hannah second, bang for buck you would be better choosing 2nd place.
Difference is 3.375$/point vs 3$/point

 Congrats to you @MoonboyMTB, great team choices but those wheels just wont fit your bike. My bike however, they'll fit just fine.

 @pinkbikeaudience Can you please change the roster deadline before Women's Qualis and before the first 10 Men have finished their run? It would make it more fair for people living in time zones where qualis happen very early in the morning...

Cheers!

 Hmmmmm @karl-burkat Yesterday It said I was 10th out of 18,163 and now it says 11 out of 18,405. Where did these new 242 entrants come from ?

Would be rad to see what was the winning team as well as best possible team.

Super fun to play, glad you are doing it.
