    This competition is pretty much ready to go and should be open tomorrow.

    Some things to note on scoring, there is only one category of climb in the race which means all climbs score the same points in this race and in the fantasy game which will be 5, 3, 2 & 1 for the first four over the summit.

    The race starts with a TTT on Wednesday afternoon followed by 5 stages before an ITT to finish.  So far the start time for the first stage is the only one that has been announced.  Hopefully the rest are confirmed before the race starts but if not we'll need to set early transfer deadlines to make sure that the window closes before the stage starts each day so bare that in mind and check the 'stages' page for the race each day to make sure you know when the deadlines will be for each stage.

    Wow. Nice! 🙂 I can’t wait to see what your fascinating equation yields for the Dauphine, the TDS and Tour! I like the idea of setting the budgets at 140 for the smaller races and 150 for the Classics, Paris Nice and Tirreno. Of course, I’d love to see 175, as was suggested last year, for the Tour! When I think we only had one (!) 3.0 rider? Maybe I’m wrong about that 😕 🙂

    I can’t look at the cycling websites in case I see the Paris-Nice result, watching it now. Was definitely Cav 1st tho.

    Yep, you’ll get GC points, so Cav gets a 10-point bonus etc…
    I had 2 OPQ, 2 Orica, 1 Movistar (no Sky) and the rest for tomorrow, so went as well as I could have hoped, maybe even a couple of points for my 3.0 riders…

    Pretty much, rather than everyone picking the best 5 guys and the difference being the cheap riders a low budget means you need to pick which of the favourites you want.

    How can you not love a man like you? That’s pretty cool, Dave! I love it! 😀

    Heh heh! Awesome! I hope you trust it enough for the next races! It might be pretty cool! I wonder what it will suggest for the Tour? 😕 I don’t know if I saved them but it might be pretty cool to see the average rider values for the races we’ve already done just to compare! It’d be nice to see what your ‘tool’ suggested for the Classics and Paris Nice. I wonder what’s a better indicator of field strength? Total value of the field or average rider value? I might take a look at total value… The difference between races might be more apparent…. You’re awesome, Dave, I mean it! 🙂
