    There’s been a bit of discussion on other threads about additional badges. They’d need to come in a set of six, so if you could pick six of your own, what would they be? Sensible or bonkers, up to you.

    Mine (fairly sensible) are:

    Puncheur – pick stage winner on a MM stage
    Skinsuit – pick stage winner on ITT stage
    Chute – two or more riders withdraw from race/stage
    Top banana– top scoring team on a race/stage (hardest badge to achieve?)
    20k points – self-explanatory
    Bookends – pick first and last place rider on a stage

    I thought about, but didn’t include

    Bargain hunter – top ten score on stage among teams costing 100 creds or less (a bit complicated)
    Patriot – 150 points scored by riders of same nationality (also possibly a bit complicated to work out)
    Cofidis award – zero points scored on a stage

    Maybe slightly off topic and not a badge, but i would love to see a league table or something for grand tours only- Say the Adam Hansen price for best overall in aggregate 3 GT’s! something like that, that rewards consistency.

    overall not too fussed with badges, but they are a bit of fun 🙂

    I’m not so fussed about badges either – the only ones I’d be interested in are top 10 in a stage and top 100 in a comp, for the reasons mentioned by backflip above…

    How about a badge that shows
    How about a badge that shows how many days in a row your team has risen in the current competition standing?… Or a badge that lights up any time you jump over 100 positions in a day in a competition?…

    Hurray!

    It’d be nice to still have something to go for once the Vuelta rolls around.

    If I remember correctly everyone was very excited by the badges at the start of the season and you promised a prize to whoever got the most of any single badge…

    Correct, the problem is, if I’m not wrong, the total’s stop at 50….so its impossible to pick one from another :”(

    They originally stopped at 50 but a while ago Dave created some new pictures for 50+, I’ve got 57 sprint badges if it helps 🙂

    Well, I like ’em. Gives you something to aim for when you’ve no chance of winning a competition (i.e. every race).

    What about a top 10 (or 20)
    What about a top 10 (or 20) on a stage,as getting a podium is bloody hard. I know that’s the point, but would be nice to show you’ve been close on however many occasions.

    And still like the idea of a badge leader board as well.

    What about a Chapeau badge for picking the most Combatative rider?

    Agree with swapping the 2k for a 20k badge and some Purist specific badges as well

    I think the puncher and ski suit are ok. Be nice to know the percentage of wins you’ve had in each as well.

    25k sounds ok as well.

    What about a 100 point average badge which lights up when your average score is100 or over and is dim otherwise. Not dependent on playing all the races and I’d consider it to be the gold standard. Would just apply to standard races.

    All riders in the top 20. Not quite the same as full house as you can get that with table points.

    Mountain point badge. Whoever gets the most points solely from that source, including the table.
