    So who are the best value DS for the tour de france?
    Is Deignan ever going to be in a position to finish in the top 10 or will he always sacrifice himself for the team?
    😕

    I do think the value you have slapped on some riders is a bit high and others is far to low

    well that’s all part of the fun, no? those values were assigned back in December, so some people should look like pretty good value right now 🙂

    That sounds like a challenge, i haven’t looked at the values yet, but they better have changed in proportion to the credits reset

    Ok, i have just found that its easily possible

    The fact that the majority of the first week is gonna be sprint stages along with the TTT makes it slightly easier in terms of what domestiques to pick, but will get a better idea after the first stage anyway

    Put it this way, no team will be able to afford have gilbert and cancellara in it along with a good GC contender 😉

    I’ve kicked out the teams not in the tour this morning, so the list is a bit shorter. still 444 domestiques to choose from right now though 🙂

    The provisional start list should be up on letour.fr this week.

    TERatcliffe26 – yup, the same for everyone, egalité and all that. you can still make some money by picking the riders that perform. the changes aren’t as drastic as they have been in the past though, so people won’t be reaching the heady heights of 220+ credits that they were up until now…

    Fair enough Gkam,

    although im finding it really difficult to pick any resemblance of a decent team due to the credit reset 🙁 from 16 credits spare to my team being 18 credits over was not great, so my domestiques have been hit alot and so have my all rounders.

    but im guessing its the same for all
