I haven't created a .cdb, but that can easily done.

I did also 1 other thing (something I also did previously for the PCMDaily database); the popularity of a cyclist. I calculated the popularity based on the CQ points collected over the last years. This can easily be altered in the database so that the sponsor reacts correctly to the riders in the team.

I will do the A.S.O. DB 2014 of OlegTinkov next.

Crap, I found out that in the copying and pasting, some of the mapping has been lost. Will have to re-do it tomorrow. the link can not be used right now.

first off, it is not a database.
second... it only the number of points scored in races of a certain kind by a rider.
And yes the races younger the 365 are counted times 4, the races older the 720 are counted once and between get 2 points.
Then when you look at the results in this year... these are the figures... not saying that this should also be the stats, but... those are the results.

as for SAGAN;

Ok,

redid my the mapping...
https://dl.dropbo...%20v2.xlsx

so now the popularity should be good... (for instance Vanmarke goes from 28 to 77 and more top riders get proper popularity stats).

Will start to work on the mapping with the A.S.O. DB of OlegTinkov
 
TankNL
Also did a mapping for the ASO database.
https://dl.dropbo...%20v1.xlsx

however, found out that I missed half of 2012 in copying and pasting again... so added that. This now is fine, but that brings the file up to 40Mb... oh well.

Same here goes for the popularity of the riders. The stats are not something that can be copied 1-on-1... As earlier discussions mentioned, domestics are not good rated (especially the mountain and hill), because they don't score points, but they are still very capable and that has to reflect in the stats...

So the stats could be used to reflect on the capebilities of a rider, as all his results are there, but it doesn't tell the whole story.

A couple of ideas would be to give domestiques X% of the points scored by their leader in a race so that their input is modelled in some way.

And to possibly include some sort of points coefficient based on the strength of the field to multiply the points by. (though this would probably be really hard to get right)

Thanks for the input.
I like the idea of giving a domestique a partial of the points collected by a race leader, or by the best man of his team in that stage... could be do-able i would say. It has some challenges though... just watched the Tour of Utah and it could apply to stage 5 of the Tour de France.

What to do with the likes of Anacona or Fuglesang, he is a helper, though scoring points on his own. Well, I will just have to say if the riders doesn't score points, that he gets 25% or something like that of the highest scoring team member... or even maybe the total scored points from the team. Will have to build a piece of code to calculate that... will have to look into that.

And the second part I have thought of also, but is near impossible to implement. For instance... Every time i load a race, I could calculate the total rider value of the participants, but that doesn't tell me if the battle is hard. Sprinters with a lot of points in a mountain stage... and I can only look back... so Wilco Kelderman beating Nibali in the Critérium du Dauphiné this year... didn't count for much, as Nibali scored most of his points in the Tour... will be very difficult...

hmm, maybe if a teammate that doesn't score gets 10% then one that does score should get his position finish plus 10% of the difference between his points and his leaders points. (only used 10% as it's an easy number to work with, no idea how much it should be to give teammates realistic points/stats)

e.g. If it was 10% then I think Bardet would get 118.5 points instead of 110 from Peraud also taking second for the Tour GC.

As far as I under stand it you can break down the points scored by race type, if so then it should only take into account points scored on the same terrain as the race is on. So Nibali wouldn't get a bonus for winning a tour mountain stage featuring Kittel, Kristoff, Greipel etc as it would only take into account the points they scored on mountain stages.

But they wouldn't get a massive bonus from Nibali's value on a sprint stage as it would only count Nibali's points scored on sprint stages instead of all his points.

I'd imagine after collating the points for each type of terrain for the races you could then use some sort of distribution curve for the percentage added once you've found your mean.

But that's about as far as my knowledge would get me.

If it worked like that would it make it any easier to implement or not?

I think you are on the right track, but the algorithm to calculate the stats is now done by adding al the points and then comparing them to the other cyclists to get a stats value PCM style. If I were to implement such a routine, them it would be a much heavier to process all the results. Bear in mind that all the results from 2012 until now already is 140.000 rows....

I think I will first go for the domestics solution to play around with that. Doing that would also mean that I need the team of the rider in the result (which I now ignored and therefor not stored). So that also would mean reprocessing all the results... Will do some test and than will come back here.

Was thinking, could do something like domestiques on stages get a % of all he collected points accept acceleration, sprint, stamina, resistance and recuperation. Also ITT stages should be excluded.

tried to work on the idea today, but as it turns out, the site that I'm using only posts partial results (top20 or top50) for stages of stage races below World Tour level. So can't use that for calculating the domestic points... Then it would be only the one day races and the WT stage races.

Why not use ProCyclingStats? It's very accurate and quite quick as well

TankNL, I would like to thank you your work. I have FDb 14 for PCM 13 and I'm using your Excel for editing stats. I didn't look at your formules and your stats, but I looked at last results. It's very useful!

(If you want my update of stats of FDB 14 for PCM 1t, tell me and I'll upload it)

@Selwink; if only It was so simple. I've created code to grab the results from www.cqranking.com because the have a certain logic in their site navigation. www.ProCyclingSta... is indeed very good, but is harder to program to grab. Would have to read the calendars, find the links to the races, get to the stage results from there etc... I'm not saying it is impossible, but much harder to do.

@MARSUPILAMI; thank you, good to hear. That is exactly what I have created it for.

Kept on going with the idea. I still have all the WT results and single day races on which this can apply. So I altered the code to also include the team name alongside the rider. Now I am able to give the helpers also points, depending on how the "leader" has scored.

I altered the points table to also tell per race type what the percentage is of the scored points and if it implies on the whole result, or only the top x of the result. Because I figured that If your in the top50 of a sprint, that your a helper deserving the points, but If you are in the top150, than your not? up for discussion. Any way, that can be altered per race type. Also some of the race types have been put at 0% (like the TT).

Will post the new stats tonight.

Nope no new results. Just that I now give points to helpers if the leader is doing good, in order to improve the domestic helpers stats.

Still everything up until San Sebastián. Tomorrow I will add tour of Utah and the rest of tour of Portugal etc... Will doubt that the stats will be influenced much... Maybe Horner and Danielson will get a boost. Will post some changes, to see how adding a couple of races influences the calculated stats.
