    I do not know if there is a limit, popular means that X % have them in their team for the last stage/race.

    I’m trying to build my team and I see a lot of popular riders out there. I counted 15. Is there a limit to the amount of popular riders the game can have?

    Prices are calculated per
    Prices are calculated per competition so Boonens value will be recalculated for Paris-Nice but that then won’t change his value in the classics, all rider values in the classics are fixed now the competition is open and won’t change even for the Ardennes races.

    I have a question re points,
    I have a question re points, it’s probably easiest to consider this just in the case of Tom Boonen:

    I assume the rankings totals will be reappraised before Paris-Nice & Tirreno-Adriatico based on recent results. As Boonen won KBK I’d expect his base score to go up before Paris-Nice. If rankings are not going to change please shout.

    Lets say Boonen wins two stages at Paris-Nice which would increase his score before the next ‘competition’ he is involved in (eg Tour de Suisse), but would the results of Paris-Nice or the classics thus far affect his price for the Ronde or Roubaix, or are they fixed now?

    TL:DR – Are prices for the spring classics fixed up to Liege-Bastone-Liege?
    – Are all rankings going to be adjusted before Paris-Nice?

    Ah, so I was late for work this morning and missed out on submitting a purist TDM team by about 45 seconds. (That ticking timer at the top is a bit stressful…)

    Does that mean I’m out of the Purist comp for the entire TDM or can I pick a purist team later on? Whilst it explains that once you’ve picked a purist team you can’t change any riders between stages it’s not very clear in the instructions if the window will open again or not and I can start in stage 2.

    Pretty sure I’ve bollocked it but does anyone know what the deal is??

    Your team will stay the same between stages within the same event if you do not make changes, ie your team will be the same for stage 2 of TDU as that of stage if you make no changes

    However you need to create a new team for a new event/race, so your team at the end of the TDU will not carry forward to be your team at the start of the Tour of Qatar. As each event on the system is a separate entity.

    Events such as the classics, comprises multiple one day races, over a period of a couple of months, and as these races are in the same event, those teams would role over, between the one day races.

    Hope ive made all that simple to understand

    Your scores will count in a league even if you join after an event

    Hiya, the tour website
    Hiya, the tour website startlists are often out of date (its not in their interests to advertise the fact that a top rider isn’t going to be there), but there are a few websites eg Cycling Fever that tend to update theirs very regularly. Cav is definitely not currently listed for Qatar.

    In general, the guys that run the game will load the startlist a week or so in advance with the best info they have available, and then make sure it is updated a couple of days before the race starts, and again asap if there are any last-minute changes. Its very rare indeed that they miss anything.

    Hey all,

    Just wondering how it works with riders in startlist. On the Tour of Qatar website riders like Cavendish could ride but he isn’t in the start list? Could the fantasy startlist change is he rides?

    Thanks T

    The total team budget
    The total team budget available for the Tour Down Under is 140 credits. The budget is variable this year depending on the race and riders taking part.
