Race Date: 11th August 2019
Round 8 of 12 Fantasy Divisional Road Race Championships
Much like such historic pairings as Bert and Ernie, Tom & Jerry and our own Wuff and Bettsy as soon as the RRC update drops you can be fairly sure the fantasy update won’t be far behind. With a fair few lesser seen runners making an outing and few stalwarts taking a day off there was plenty of opportunity for gains to be made in the fantasy league. Matt Gibson’s Plodders have stubbornly held onto top spot, with Liam Turner’s charges trotting up into 2nd from 6th. Former regent Jo Gleig drops down into 3rd, with another former leader Clive Downing’s team strolling back into the top 10. Matt Rimmer surely won’t be too mardy at seeing his team jump up 15 places, although this wasn’t quite as dynamic a lead as Dave Adam, whose team climbed an impressive 17 places.

Seeing as I made pretty pictures for the divisional it would be remiss of me not to do the same for fantasy:
Hopefully if you click on the graph it will open in a format big enough to be legible. It would look like that there is a potential 3 way battle brewing for the top spot with current leader Matt under threat from Luke Prest and Wuff. However with 4 races to go till plenty to play for and remember this is just a prediction based on what you could win if runners turn up to races; so get motivating captains and get the lazy buggers to show up for you!
