Rider values

I was going to be anal and make a FULL list of riders from 2011 and 2012 to compare value's, but i haven't as yet

I'm just wondering how you have come up with the riders value's?

Some i can understand, Cav being 40 and top because he is world champ and had a great season last year

But Wiggo, he is 38.4 above the Schlecks and last season he was 25.3

So a difference of 13.1 Cav's only gone up 1.7 and Gilbert -0.2

Evans was 38.6 and is now 39.7
Contador was 39.8 and is now 39.6

Just wondering how you worked it all out 26

How so?
Everyone that you are competing with has the same limits for their teams.

Your right but i think what he was getting at was that anyone can pick a team but to score decent points on a regular basis is going to be hard with the new limits and the increase in rider values.

I knew it wouldn't an an exact science, was just interested in some riders leaping up the table and not many drop off's

That in combination with this years 150 limit, wow you like to make it hard, just playing about with teams, its going to be tough to even form a semi competitive team for the grand tours

it's a combination of

1) the scores from last year's game
2) the UCI/IG rankings
3) the predictions of a pro rider on who's going to do well
4) some faffing about in the office

as you might imagine, it's not an exact science

I'd like to see it tied to only (!) the UCI points, really. If a rider is a surprise from last year, cool!

Does anyone know where I can find the last UCI 2011 standings? I'd kind of like to propose a different point value system for the riders for mext year's game...

Thanks!
