Patchelicious Posted July 11, 2015 Posted July 11, 2015 What's likely hurting your score is the loss of Cancellara, Domoulin and now Martin. And like Uni said those doing well at the moment are scoring nicely based on some aggressive white jersey selections. It's a long Tour though...3 riders missing? Well theres your problem Adam!
Baldrick Posted July 11, 2015 Posted July 11, 2015 A quick questionDoes one lose the points scored by a rider if that rider is substituted?
Matt Posted July 11, 2015 Posted July 11, 2015 A quick questionDoes one lose the points scored by a rider if that rider is substituted?No, you'll retain points scored up until the substitution. For the riders coming in you'll only score points on them going forward
Frosty Posted July 11, 2015 Author Posted July 11, 2015 In prior years points were awarded for the top finishers in each category, i.e. 1st - 15th across the line. As there are 198 riders it means most of the sprinters were scoring points on the flat stages and the rest weren't getting any. The same for the KOM. It resulted in many teams picking about 50 riders between the entire field of contestants. People quickly lost interest. The new scoring format gives every rider points based on their overall position in the race, and then the daily prizes are certainly helping in keeping the interest going. Yes, the WHITE seems to be contributing a bigger portion of the points but look at the time gaps between riders. As this increases, the points get less and less. Also, the favourites in this category will also start moving up. The same for the GC - with the relatively flat stages, the time gaps are small in the first week (bunch sprint with guys getting the same or a few seconds difference) and get bigger as the Tour progresses through the mountain stages. There is no perfect formula to award points as the guys leading will say it's great and the guys losing not. I tested the current system using last year's results and the top guys still finished near the top. However, the guys finishing near the bottom that had a few "wildcard" riders in their team got lots of bonus points for having riders in the break and staying away. So they jumped from top 70% to top 15%.

Frosty Posted July 11, 2015 Author Posted July 11, 2015 Not forgetting the four leaders: 13:14 Four in the lead Four riders united in the lead at km 9: Bartosz Huzarski (Bora-Argon 18), Sylvain Chavanel (IAM Cycling), Romain Sicard (Europcar) and Pierre-Luc Périchon (Bretagne-Séché Environnement). Peloton at 2.15.
Frosty Posted July 11, 2015 Author Posted July 11, 2015 The rules for the "break"... it needs to be reported on in the major cycling news websites. live.cyclingnews.com has reported on the break: 16:52:34 CESTBarguil and Boom are both in the move and this is quite an interesting group with 70km to go. The world champion is also in the break, Sagan too and Rolland. The gap to the field is around 15 seconds. However, the Tour website has reported the names, whereas Cyclingnews has not. Either way, the 17 riders listed in post 811 are classified as in the "break".
Gen Posted July 11, 2015 Posted July 11, 2015 Jssie Mr Sagan scores me points. . GC point, Green jersey leader points and still White jersey points.. I love this kid.. what would I have if I didn't have him.. No Sagan no party
Frosty Posted July 11, 2015 Author Posted July 11, 2015 How can you use your substitutes?On Monday morning - that's when the substitutions will be open for transfer on the day.You drag and drop your outgoing riders and replace them like you did when selecting your original team.
