Fantasy cycling at velogames shut down
Quote | Reply
I saw this posted there today:

Due to a recent legal claim, entries into the current Fantasy Grand Tour game are currently suspended until further notice. It is fair to say I am absolutely gutted about this turn of events, but do not want to comment further until the situation progresses. At present it is looking unlikely that the current Fantasy Grand Tour game will go ahead as planned. Many apologies for this news, but it is for the best for my family and finances.
It was free fantasy cycling, I wonder what the legal claim could be.

There is an official fantasy league now, probably related to that?

Good grief. And I was just starting to like ASO.

I see where you can enter a team for Giro Rosa at Velogames. I'm in, but I'll admit I'm pretty clueless on most of the women riders. (Not that my TdF team was any good.)

And yet NBCSN still has some fantasy TDF. Is it because they are a rights holder?
Seriously, Velogames is getting screwed. I think it's a one man shop, guy named George, maybe?
There are hundreds of fantasy websites for every other sport, all of sudden ASO decides to be a dick?
Not too surprised
