Forum Fantasy Motorcycling League 2008 - final standings posted

Cheers Pat! Missed out on top ten by 44 points. Congrats Neninja, don't blow the spoils of victory like I did ;)

Team NoBlouse are in negotiation and testing already for 2009. As a kick-off to our fundraising, does anyone want to buy a heap of Michelins??? Only used on Sunday, usually to make up the numbers...

Thanks Pat for running this, it's great fun and I look forward to next year's championship, Team Hurricane is looking for nothing other than a championship in 2009.

Fonsi didn't do too badly considering he didn't make any transfers, he was in the midfield mix throughout.

Joan suffered *suffered* somewhat from Tommy Hill missing the entire season, Luca Morelli (part season) not scoring a point then being sacked, Kenan having a very difficult season (he was originally priced at - ahem - $2.5m) and Pere Tutusaus also being sacked. Joan was virtually carrying his own team! (I think in the end he did a little worse than our other star entrant Angel Rodriguez, who picked himself and was then sacked in 2006).

I'd definitely like to see a few stars in next year too!

Ever wanted to judge my prices from the start of the season against the final standings?

Now you can, here:

I haven't actually seen Fonsi for a while but I emailed him his final results and the link to your database and he said that he'll have to improve next year. Joan's team as you mentioned had injury problems all year, thankfully that didn't include Joan himself. Rodri said that he'll have a go next season too so hopefully that'll be three 'stars' next year. :)

I'm glad Fonsi has a positive attitude about the League next year. Is he sorted on a Superbike somewhere, do you know?

Slightly O/T - any news on Rodri's plans for next year yet? From what I'd seen of the CEV results he was winning everything and also had some good one-offs in World Supersport - any chance of him going up to World Supersport full-time? (Yamaha Spain had a dismal time this year, they could do with him or could his CEV team move up?)

I'll hopefully be doing the prices for next year over the Christmas break - as with last year the World Supersport entry list isn't really finalised yet but I can get things going as soon as they are...

excellent pat! look forward to it..
you do a great job.. :up:

Check your PM's Pat.

I look forward to the new season, last year I started well but faded, I plan on fixing that for '09. :)

I've now unstuck this thread.

With the release of the WSB and WSS lists today I should be able to have the new prices ready over the weekend, so you can get picking (I'd done most of them anyway). So a new 2009 thread will arrive shortly.
