Introducing Fantasy Little 500!

To add a little spice to the Little 500 season it's time for Fantasy Little 500 2010. In the vein of fantasy football you will have the opportunity to pick riders to make a 6 person roster. Your roster will then receive points depending on how your riders perform in both individual (ITTs, MissNOut) and team (quals, TP, the race) events. Full rules and a Full rider list (preliminary list to be finalized on March 1st) can be found elsewhere on this site. Take a look at it and pick the riders YOU think will make an impact on the race this year!
It's all for fun but Revolution Bike and Bean and Bikesmiths have kindly donated gift certificates as a prize/s for the event to sweeten the deal a little. Email your roster to geraintparry75@gmail.com by midnight March 25th to be in the running for the game.
