We Asked, You Delivered: Your Unreasonable Reaction To A Rider Ruining Your Fantasy Team
Fantasy is supposed to be a fun hobby that you can enjoy with your friends and, if you’re lucky enough, win a prize or two.
Fantasy can also ruin your weekend, especially when so-and-so COMPLETELY $*&#@ UP ON THE FINAL LAP OF THE LCQ AND COSTS ME POINTS. (INSERT MANY ANGRY FACE EMOJIS)
Where were we—ah, fantasy. The killer of all hopes and dreams.
Anyway, last week we proposed a simple question to our lovely readers:
Ever had a completely unreasonable reaction to a rider ruining your fantasy team's weekend? Tell us your story of what the rider did and how mad it made you. We want the laughs.

Before we get into the responses, remember, guys and gals: DO NOT @ RIDERS WHEN THEY MESS UP YOUR FANTASY TEAM. This is supposed to be fun.
[Ed note: Steve wanted us to remind everyone to play PulpMX Fantasy.]
Now, on to the responses:

Being part of the “Jerry Robin experience” need we say more?

Yeah i pick my boy Tomac. He will tip over and take 6 million years to get back on his bike. Then he will proceed to get 8th place. This happens pretty much everytime he doesn’t win.
