Oh boy oh boy! The Tour de France is here and it could be a race like no other and make for a really unique fantasy experience. Apologies this guide is a little later than planned. I was building notes and awaiting the final team announcements, but my neighbour had an emergency this morning that … Continue reading Velogames Preview – VELOGAME XXIV

Well we knew the Giro was going to be a fair bit of an unpredictable mess, made even more so by four pre-race favourites leaving the race early due to illness or injury. One injury was even picked up before the race even started and his team just hoped it would improve during the race! … Continue reading Italy 2022 – Velogames Round Up

Hello again everyone! I've moved to a new place, my internet has been switched on, and I'm ready to bring you more guides for this year's Velogames competitions. First up on the menu is the Giro d'Italia and it promises to be a real cracker. A lot of question marks over many competitors and the … Continue reading Velogames Preview – Italy 2022

I'm always sad when grand tour racing draws to a close for another year, and we've been treated to some wonderful battles and great stories over the last few months. I've finally managed to pull myself away from the fantastic racing we've been treated to at the Tour of Britain to properly round up the … Continue reading Spain 2021 – Velogames Round Up

Time for my favourite grand tour and the last chance for any teams still searching for glory in the biggest races. Without any other articulate thought on how to structure my excitement for this race, let's just get right down to it shall we!

With the final grand tour of the year right around the corner and the start list beginning to trickle in, I thought it best to round off the Tour and drop a few comments on which teams need what from La Vuelta. In simple terms, it was another repeat of the Giro, with one contender … Continue reading Velogame XXIII – Round Up

Plenty of intrigue surrounding the peloton before we hit the start line in Brest. Will the yellow jersey battle be a two horse race? Who can take the race to the top dogs? Who wants the green jersey the most with Sam Bennett's absence? So much to decipher and pick over and I'll cover everything … Continue reading Velogames Preview – VELOGAME XXIII

I wouldn't look too hard at how my team performed this Giro. It just goes to show that no matter how much meticulous planning, how much we think we know or might know about this sport, there will always be twists and surprises. Quite a few riders in the final top 10 are where we … Continue reading Italy 2021 – Velogames Round Up

It seems strange to be previewing a normal grand tour after the weirdness we all went through last year, but thankfully we've had a fairly uninterrupted lead-up to this race and we can make predictions that actually make sense. More and more completed rosters are trickling in and the picture of who will be going … Continue reading Velogames Preview – Italy 2021

This is the year of youth, two grand tours down, two winners aged 25 or under. Can the Vuelta follow suit? There are a few young guns going well there, but it's only Hugh Carthy who can emulate his compatriot from the Giro. Speaking of the Giro, who'd have thought after three weeks of hard … Continue reading Italy 2020 – Velogames Round Up
