copied this from last years post, changed a few things. For example the leader had too much influence on your score last year imo. For now I'll give them a 1,5 bonus since that seems more fair, giving them no bonus at all would mean that it doesnt matter whether you pick the wrong guy as a leader so thats why I decided to just lower the bonus a bit.
GT GAME 08
As the title says it's a game that will be focussing on the 3 Big Tours, for each tour you must pick a squad of 12 riders and see whether your team has what it takes to win a tour, in the end there will also be a combined classification to see who did best in all 3 together. As you all know the Giro is coming up and since the startlist is out there I've made up the following system where I mostly looked at results from the past, also from the tdf and the vuelta and results from other races this year
Categories:
Leader x1,5 (Points count 1,5, so when he gets 100 he will get 150) -> Danilo Di Luca, Paolo Savoldelli, Levi Leipheimer, Alberto Contador, Andreas Kloeden, Mauricio Soler, Gilberto Simoni, Riccardo Ricco
Sprinter -> Alexandre Usov, Maximilliano Richeze, Robert Forster, Daniele Benatti, Mark Cavendish, Graeme Brown, Robbie McEwen, Erik Zabel
Main Climber/Helper -> Tadej Valjavec, Vladimir Karpets, Emanuelle Sella, Juan Manuel Garate, Leonardo Piepoli
Main Climber/Helper2 -> Jose Rujano, Domenico Pozzovivo, Franco Pellizotti, Denis Menchov, Jose Serpa, Evgeni Petrov
Protected Rider -> Rinaldo Nocentini, Christian Pfannberger, Joaquin Rodriguez, Davide Rebellin, Paolo Bettini, Luca Mazzanti

Please PM your team so that no one will copy :wink:
1 IMPORTANT RULE, YOU CAN ONLY TAKE 1 RIDER PER TEAM! SO THINK WISELY ABOUT WHO YOU ARE TAKING! (So you cant take Di Luca and Golcer cos they are both LPR riders)
And you may not take riders in the 'FREE' category that have been named in the earlier given categories.
And…make sure you have 12 riders!
So the only thing you need then is a name for your team and that's it :wink:
and also the pointssystem:
Stage
100, 85, 80, 70, 65, 55, 45, 40, 35, 30, 25, 20, 15, 10,5 (TOP15)
GC
500, 475, 450, 425, 400, 375, 350, 325, 300, 275, 250, 225, 200, 175, 150, 125, 100, 75, 50, 25
Points
250, 225, 200, 175, 250, 125, 100, 75, 50. 25
KOM
See points
Startlist can be found over here: https://www.cyclin...=startlist
Also if you think that I forgot a very important rider somewhere lemme know, Im also still thinking about changing something about the pointsystem, I was thinking about adding something which will give a rider extra points when he wears the points, kom or the pink jersey but im not sure yet whether I will add that to the system
Good Luck! :)

that happens when you don't have an offline one.
Also, I don't regard "registered sex offender" as a synonym of "interesting"
