Welcome to my preview of the 2017 ManGame Pro-Continental Division Rider Rankings. Before starting off with the preview, I would like to explain how I’ll be presenting it and the methodology for arriving at the predictions.

I have come up with something called the ‘Coefficient Rankings’ which is the basis for all the rankings. These rankings have been made on six attributes for the riders – Stage Races, Climbing, Punchers, Sprinting, Cobbles and Time Trialing – using certain formulae for calculation.

They are explained below…

Stage Races – Using MO, HIL, TT and a certain combination of some other stats
Climbing – Using MO, HIL and a certain combination of other stats
Punchers – Using HIL, ACC and a certain combination of other stats
Sprinting – Using SP, ACC and a certain combination of other stats
Cobbles – Using COB, SP and a certain combination of other stats
Time Trial – Using TT, PRL and a certain combination of other stats

This was used to come up with individual ratings for all riders. Please note, I have not taken potential planning decisions into account.

There are a total of 605 riders in the CT, including loan-ins and stagiares. I am posting the top 50, and highlighting the top 10, in each discipline.
