    Just a thought for an off-the-cuff contest for us forum types – each ‘adopt’ a rider currently rated 3.0, and track them through the season. Whichever rider has the highest aggregate fantasy points at the end of the final race of the season wins (or rather, the person who picked them does).

    The deadline for picking has now passed, so here are your riders:

    Ghedebrav: Matej Mohoric
    ray sylvester: Fronk Schleck
    drheaton: Riccardo Zoidl
    NeilG83: Cristophe Kern
    DylanChurchill: Caleb Ewan
    stumps: Michael Hepburn
    Dave Atkinson: Julian Alaphillipe
    livestrongnick: Gabriel Rasch
    enrique: Axel Domont
    JAndrewHill: Janez Brajkovic
    chiv30: Jesse Sergent
    TERatcliffe26: Johan Esteban Chaves Rubio
    giff77: Mikhail Ignatyev
    plynie: Alexander Rybakov
    Gizmo: Rick Zabel
    Twybados: Lasse Norman Hansen
    Timbo13: Sebastian Henao
    chrisdstripes: Pierre-Henri Lecuisinier
    backflipbedlam: Phillip Gaimon
    turboprannet: Michael Kolar
    leortp: Caleb Fairly

    OK, to clear things up a bit. My brain obviously wasn’t in gear – when I said ‘score’ in OP, I actually meant ‘value’. The idea being that you’d have to strike while the iron was hot . So, if, after a few good races, your riders value rose to 12.5 and you thought their value would be likely to drop later, you’d post the value here while they were at that price. But if, say, you got ahead of yourself and posted your limit of three times and later in the season their value improved even further, you’d have to go with the highest value (presumably the third) you’d posted.

    However, that’s probably a bit complicated. Total fantasy score at the end of the season is perhaps the way to go, nice and simple.

    :D

    especially as rider value will fluctuate due to type of terrain in each race!!

    Not sure if limiting it to three scores is the best way to make it a season long event?

    Why not just any fantasy points that they score in the season?

    Just to confirm….this is for the season and we have to locate our own rider’s scores and claim them?

    It certainly reads that way. Not going to be an easy task if they are participating in a lesser known race.

    I think it would have to be in races within the game?
