You are cordially invited to take part in the premier Grand Tour fantasy cycling game. Play for the immortal kudos of winning the 2022 Tour de France in the GreenWightRed minileague. The race starts this FRIDAY 1st July with a deadline around 15:45 CEST (= 14:45 BST) for team entry at https://www.velogames.com/ when the race gets underway in that far-off outpost of France called Denmark.
Joining the game is free. It is low maintenance – just pick a team and trust that some of them don’t fall off before Paris! If you took part in the GreenWightRed minileague for the Giro d’Italia then your team should automatically be entered again. Otherwise, once you’ve got a team (with a klever or kool name of course) then please enter your team of champions using the details below.
Minileague details:
- League Owner: Simon Gardner
- Email: simongardner344@gmail.com
- League Name: GreenWightRed
- League Code: 350861813
You can choose and change the riders in your fantasy team until the deadline above. Only then will they be revealed to anyone else.
Velogames therapy has been medically proven to reduce stress [** actually, no it hasn’t but it might do unless your riders fall off, Paul **] and is available on prescription in most countries [** no it isn’t, of course, but it ought to be! **]. Distract yourself from the humdrum and horrible – follow your lycra-clad superheroes while they push themselves to the limit of endurance amidst the endless unfolding of a 3-week-long France Tourist Board film. You must provide your own cheese and wine.
Please feel free to forward this invitation to friends, family, colleagues, neighbours, enemies [you may turn out to have shared interests, after all], long-lost relatives, everyone at the school gates, WI, Fight Club (really? you never mentioned it before…) etc. etc.
