    Here’s my list of the most disappointing riders in the Tour de France based on the points they got compared to their value.

    Of course, some of them crashed out, others lost their nerve, others just didn’t show up (!).

    24.3 Jurgen Van Den Broeck 1
    23.0 Przemyslaw Niemiec 1
    12.0 Eduard Vorganov 1
    33.6 Thomas Voeckler 4
    19.6 Rein Taaramae 3
    30.4 Thibaut Pinot 5

    I wonder how their DS’s feel about them?

    Will they be thrown at the Vuelta to make ammends? 😕

    It’s really surprising (!) to not have seen Voeckler and Niemic more active (!)

    Id give Niemiec a break as noone else who came out of the Giro did a decent performance, and Niemiec had a very good Giro.

    Cunego or Gesink for me, probably Gesink based on age.

    Goss. didnt contest a sprint, if it wasn’t for his high listing on the fantasy listing I wouldnt know he was in it, and I watched the tour most days. Where was he?

    Perhaps Sagan! Sounds strange but no stage win for the Tourminator.

    Outperformers had to be AG2r despite losing Peraud and Bouet had riders giving it a go in many stages.

    Apart from the stage he won.

    enrique, you’re my biggest
    enrique, you’re my biggest let down, you misspelled disappointing…

    Also Gkam is right, riders do loads of work for their team and often don’t get a chance to ride for themselves. They may be disappointing in fantasy terms but only when compared against your own expectations. In many cases the riders have been valuable team members that have contributed to their teams success (think every Sky rider other than Froome).

    Lampre as a team have been useless.

    But you cannot pick riders just on the game score vs points.

    Voeckler did ALOT of work for Rolland.

    Taaramae hasn’t been on form at all. But as happens to alot of riders, they sometimes have a bad tour
