    No, I think you are confusing viable with available. Viable implies potential for success. Everyone is available to be picked but only a...
  • ingsve
    This is our disagreement. You don't seem to be able to categorize anyone as "not viable" until after the fact. Take my example of...
  • ingsve
    Viability is only something you can judge ahead of a season. Someone having an annus mirabilis does not make them retrospectively a...

    Potential and reality don't always align. Just because a rider didn't live up to expectations does not mean they were not viable. Racing...

    Certainly. There are always viable riders that you can't fit in your team and that's part of the game. Especially if we end up with...

    Viable pick and good pick is the same thing in my mind for this game. There is no point in calling a rider viable just because they are...
  • ingsve
    Viable to me is always in the context of what their likely ceiling is. A rider who costs 500 and has 8 years straight of scoring between...

    Well, that's the thing isn't it. A Roglic at 1000 or even perhaps 1500 is in the range of being viable for the game. His age certainly...

    Will be interesting to see how these crashes affect the rest of the season for Vingegaard, Evenepoel and Roglic. Imagine having a season...

    Nordhagen into infinite profit in just his 2nd race of the year.
  • ingsve
    I guess it's similar to Morgado at UAE as well who's been sent to do pretty much the full cobbled season this year but I doubt that is...
  • ingsve
    For me he was in my longlist but I opted against him because I was not convinced that 1000 points was his actual level since he had more...
  • ingsve
    The complete opposite can also happen. A set back like this can spark an ever stronger comeback with renewed motivation to be the best...

    De Lie is also out with Lyme disease right now. Possibly explains his poorer form so far this year.
