    Yep, I do get it, its just going to be interesting to see how the values go up and down. No probs – its the same for everyone. I like that there are very few obvious cheap guys that everyone will go for – should see a bit more variation between our teams…

    Don’t forget that you can
    Don’t forget that you can also try and pick team mates of the winner for the 5 point bonus. Plus, the TTT also gives a purpose to your cheap picks too.

    Also sprinters values
    Also sprinters values increase not only because it is flat, but because each team has 1/2 protected riders for the sprints leaving 6 other guys as DS’s with no KOM points either, meaning they are less valuable. Therefore makes it tricky to pick a team, as youve gotta try and pick cheap riders that may go in a break (12 points max unless they stay away) or ones that you reckon may pick up the 18/19/20th position on a any given stage

    Appollonio has historically
    Appollonio has historically scored on flat stages, the ToQ has a higher proportion of flat stages than the TdU therefore he’s more likely to score (according to the stats) and therefore is more valuable.

    Its interesting to see how
    Its interesting to see how the points adjustments will work – eg Appollonio scored 4 pts in 6 stages at the TDU, but his value has actually increased for Qatar from 7.5 to 10, I’d expected it to go the other way…

    I’ve split the top sprinter
    I’ve split the top sprinter across my purist and normal team, I think my purist team is stronger though. Will Cav clean up here without the likes of Greipel? Will Sagan compete better than San Luis?
