Hmmm... Wiggo and Martin on 99% of all teams, maybe?...

Well this is interesting...

Percent of teams that chose the Top 20 and the Lantern Rouge:

37.6 Bradley Wiggins 86%
40.0 Tony Martin 105%* (?)
34.5 Tom Dumoulin 41%
31.0 Vasil Kiryienka 8%
27.5 Rohan Dennis 29%
30.3 Adriano Malori 17%
8.7 Nelson Oliveira 19%

22.8 Alex Dowsett 44%

3.0 Gorgi Popstefanov 8%

Right I'm off to sharm, don't know if I'll get to pick my road team

Tony Martin (OPQ)
Bradley Wiggins (SKY)
Rasmus Christian Quaade (WC)
Rohan Dennis (BMC)
Jan Barta (TNE)
Elchin Asadov (WC)
Segundo Navarrete (WC)
Reidar Borgersen (WC)
Lars Teutenberg (WC)

No purist for me

It's on the BBC via the red button, but not on the BBC website/iplayer.

I cant get the live feed on the UCI Youtube Channel to work as it says it's not been made available in my country. It's not on Eurosport either. So I;m left watching a link from Cyclingfans.com in French. Why no live coverage in the UK?

Lantern Rouge ? - got to be Lars Teutenberg at 44yrs old. Mind you it would be great if he did pull out a good time.

I've gone without Martin and Wiggins in my standard but put Wiggins in my purist just to be patriotic

Tom Dumoulin
Rohan Dennis
Adriano Malori
Jesse Sergent
Rasmus Christian Quaade
Gabor Fejes
Alexsandr Dyachenko
Lars Teutenberg
Riccardo Zoidl

Rohan Dennis
Adriano Malori
Bradley Wiggins
Silvan Dillier
Rasmus Christian Quaade
Jesse Sergent
Lars Teutenberg
Reidar Borgersen
Alexsandr Dyachenko

Now to sit down and work out my road race team

Here's my team - IMO Top 3 will be Martin, Wiggins, Dumoulin, then I have quaade and navardauskas as top10's. I think this will score better than Gkams 3456 scenario.

Mino was 2nd last, last year at 2 seconds so hopefully he'll stay true to that form!

Tony Martin (OPQ)
Tom Dumoulin (GSH)
Bradley Wiggins (SKY)
Lars Teutenberg (WC)
Gustavo Mino (WC)
Reidar Borgersen (WC)
Veli Sadiki (WC)
Rasmus Christian Quaade (WC)
Ramunas Navardauskas (GRS)

Getting the 1-2 and having to fill the rest of the team with no hopers plus a cheap German and/or Brit = 95 (if Martin or Wiggo come first)

Getting 3,4,5,6 and affording a couple with reasonable chances of getting in top 20 = 93 at least....

Most teams are going to be very similar with the winning team scoring with a low pointer such as Quaade and the lantern rouge.

Thank you

I didn't have Martin or Wiggins in either of my teams, they are to expensive to justify. I'd rather afford places 3,4,5,6,7 than 1,2 and some lower fillers...

It was Dennis that stayed in my team.

Darn, I was feeling very proud that a Romanian is worth more than 20 credits in the game, and now I see you have him down, wrongly, as representing Moldova...

My provisional team has been destroyed now the final startlist has been updated, 8/9 riders from provisional not racing

Bradley Wiggins is suddenly worth more than 35 points in a Road.cc competition. Rare these days.

Here is the start list from http://www.mundialciclismoponferrada.com/descargas/categoria18/categoria... in reverse start order with the Road.cc values:

*At my last check, I think Sylvan Dillier, Serghei Tvetcov, Winner Anacona and Andrei Nechita are missing from the game start list...

If the start list I am looking at is correct, and it seems to me it is because it has all start times posted, the following riders should be removed from the game start list for the ITT:

40.0 Rigoberto Uran Omega Pharma - Quick-Step
37.3 Fabian Cancellara Trek Factory Racing
27.1 Bob Jungels Trek Factory Racing
25.1 Niki Terpstra Omega Pharma - Quick-Step

20.4 Jean-Christophe Peraud AG2R La Mondiale
17.9 Davide Formolo Cannondale

3.0 Mekseb Debesay World Champs

There's a lot of names in the fantasy list not on the official start list. Check your 3.0 "packing peanut" riders for eligibility. Currently there are only 64 riders on the official list against 77 starters last year. I suppose there could be late additions...

I think Sylvan Dillier and Andrei Nechita are missing from the game start list...

Yes they do and also the breakaway bonus is in play in the road race.

Does the last man home get 10 points in the ITT at WC? Its not in the scoring info, but I presume he does, isn't it? I'm only asking because, with this budget, the lanterne rouge will probably clinch the stage win for someone (actually, for a few someones)

Thanks Dave, that worked second time so sorted now.
