    OK, so changing rider values & transfers…

    If one of my riders goes up in value and I then transfer them out, do I get their post-increase value to spend on another rider – even if it takes my team value over 175 points?

    And secondly: will the total aggregate cost of all riders in the game stay the same, so that the improvers are balanced out by the decliners?

    1) yes: you can amass extra money by being canny.
    2) not necessarily.

    No code for that one: it will magically appear after a couple of stages, with all the purists in it. We know who you are.

    Thanks for the info! I like your tip about the GC riders for MSR. I like Wiggo, but I don’t need him for that race!

    We’re allowed two transfers between Classics races, but how does the start list figure into this? For example, say 3 of my team members for Milan San-Remo are NOT on the start list for Gent-Wevelgem. (grayed out) Am I forced to use my two transfers to fill the spots of guys who won’t be racing? Or do I get an additional transfer for each rider who won’t be starting? And in the above example, would I then have a “grayed out” rider left on my team when Gent-Wevelgem starts?

    Thanks for listening to my long question!

    1) you’re allowed four transfers between classics races, not two.

    2) you don’t *have* to transfer out riders who aren’t riding. probably at some point during the classics you’ll forego a full riding squad, either by choice or because you can’t make a full roster. For instance, I haven’t picked either of the GC riders who are riding MSR, because I wanted to spend the money on all-rounders with a better chance – i think – of getting points.

    3) No, if a rider is greyed out you don’t get a free transfer. Life can be tough, but at least it’s tough for everyone đŸ™‚

    4) if you have greyed out riders in your team, that’s still a valid team so long as you have 9 riders selected. we’ve just sent out an email to let everyone know this, as there was some confusion…

    I think this is important, because it changes the whole way you have to set up your team. If we’re forced to use transfers to fill “empty” spots, it’s harder to move in riders you really want to. And the domestiques for each team change pretty much race to race, so all the transfers would get used up switching them around. It changes the strategy for “King of the Classics” so you have to pick the riders who will be on start lists the most, regardless of performance.

    Thanks for listening to my long question!

    I have a question. Suppose these results in Milano – San Remo:

    1. Cavendish (HTC) 20 points
    2. Boonen (Quick) 19 points
    3. Hushovd (Garmin) 18 points
    4. Goss (HTC) 17 points + 5 points (winner team: HTC)
    5. Gilbert (Omega) 16 points

    Is that correct? Will Goss get 22 points, 2 points more than the Milano – San Remo’s winner? it doesn’t seem fair… or Cavendish will get 20 + 5 points?

    yup, that’s correct. maybe he’ll get 10 points for being road.cc rider of the day too, who knows? đŸ™‚
