Yes thats what I think will
Yes thats what I think will be the case. A star for the classic’s, may not be a star for the GT’s. So it might change the amount of stars in various races.Just to make it even more complicated for you 😉 😉
As your example above. Using 45 stars for the Vuelta, I’m unsure of the actual amount there were, but for arguments sake we’ll use 45
198 starters, 45 stars and 153 DS
My rough math has worked out the chance’s below. It may not be spot on, but near enough to use as an example to show how the game would be dulled down by removing the 4/5 split.
You chance of picking a scorer in the top 20
From stars = 1 in 14
From DS = 1 in 26Without having the split
The chances of picking a scorer
1 in 9
Chances of picking the winner
1 in 22
Now obviously, that doesn’t take into account the type of stage which may rule out certain riders…example an uphill finish that rules out the big sprinters.
The example I have given would be based on EVERY rider having the same ability, say in a Time Trial. So taking into account the type of stage, the odds of picking scoring Stars and DS goes up and without the split would remain around the same. Slightly less for mountains as you could discount quite a number of riders.
Its only based on the first 20, as working in the chances of being in the break and scoring any kind of point would be nearly impossible.

Thank you
Thank you to all on this thread for your comments on Dopeology. It took a lot of work to publish the website and at times the task threatened to swamp me. I felt much the same over the last 24 hours. 😉Hi and welcome, Came across your site totally by accident, but have been on it alot researching different riders from a while back, I bet you’ve been busy and will be busier still when UCI are finished with it. All the other riders mentioned 😉
I’m through most of it now.
I’m through most of it now. All the pdf’s have my computer going mad, lolThere will always be doubters and reading through it all, there is still room for the doubters. A bit like area 51, 9/11….etc
Its mainly a case of he said, she said, he saw, she saw and since Lance didn’t dispute it, we’ve just got to go with what we’ve been given. So as much as I liked Lance (more for his charity work than cycling) I have to say, its pretty clear that he was doping. To what level and how much will never be known, but he was using substances.
That would be one of these

2001 Tour of Switzerland
2001 Tour of Switzerland Samples
The 2001 Tour du Suisse (Tour of Switzerland) was conducted from June 19 – 28, 2001.Dr. Martial Saugy, the Director of the WADA-accredited anti-doping laboratory in Lausanne,Switzerland, has confirmed to both USADA and the media that his laboratory detected a number of samples in the 2001 Tour du Suisse that were suspicious for the presence of EPO. Dr. Saugyalso told USADA that upon reporting these samples to UCI, he was told by UCI’s MedicalCommission head that at least one of these samples belonged to Mr. Armstrong, but that therewas no way Mr. Armstrong was using EPO.On May 27, 2011, Dr. Saugy told
Cycling News
that four of the urine samples taken atthe 2001 Tour de Suisse were labeled “suspect” and that a sample was considered “suspect”when it “showed between 70 and 80% of the typical EPO parameters (basic area percentage).That meant the probability of doping was high, but because such a result can also be producednaturally, it was all about excluding false positives.Page | 145
In the early years after the EPO test was developed, the criteria to call a test positive wasconservatively set at a very high level. Under current WADA standards, a sample in the 70 to80% (basic area percentage) range can be considered positive if other criteria relating to thetesting are met.

Dr. Saugy led USADA to understand that, under the current positivity criteriafor EPO, the 2001 samples would have been considered “positive” rather than merely“suspicious” as had been the case in 2001.In order to evaluate whether Mr. Armstrong’s test(s) from the 2001 Tour de Suisse wasmerely “suspicious” (and therefore the probability of doping was high), or whether using thecurrent EPO positivity criteria Mr. Armstrong’s samples could definitively establish the presenceof synthetic EPO standing alone, USADA requested from UCI the test results from Mr.Armstrong’s samples from the Tour de Suisse. UCI denied that request, stating that UCI hadasked for Mr. Armstrong’s consent to provide this information to USADA, but that Mr.Armstrong had refused.
801
Mr. Armstrong’s refusal to provide consent for USADA to receivethis data is telling. Certainly, Mr. Armstrong’s refusal contains an inference that the informationcontained in the documents would not be favorable to Mr. Armstrong.In all events, it is clear from the evidence of Dr. Saugy that Mr. Armstrong’s 2001 Tour de Suisse sample(s) will strongly corroborate the overwhelming additional evidence, includingfirsthand eyewitness evidence of Mr. Armstrong’s possession and use of EPOFROM INRNG’s Summing upThe 2001 Tour of Switzerland: The EPO test is not black and white. It is scored and riders can report suspicious levels without going over the threshold that guarantees a positive test. In the Tour of Switzerland several samples showed suspicious levels that suggested EPO use. The lab director has said the UCI told him one of these belong to Armstrong. This is not a positive test but highly suspicious. Soon after Armstrong and Bruyneel visited the UCI and donated at least $100,000. The question for me is whether the UCI rushed to investigate or hurried to bury the story?
