Just to see how good someone could have been at this point of the season I did a quick test to optimize a team. Here is my result:
BOS Theo
BRUTT Pavel
COBO ACEBO Juan Jose
DEGAND Thomas
DEGENKOLB John
DOWSETT Alex
FROOME Chris
GALIMZYANOV Denis
GALLOPIN Tony
GERRANS Simon
GILBERT Philippe
GUARDINI Andrea
HAUSSLER Heinrich
KESSIAKOFF Fredrik
KIRYIENKA Vasil
KITTEL Marcel
MATTHEWS Michael
MEYER Cameron
MORENO FERNANDEZ Daniel
NIZZOLO Giacomo
NUYENS Nick
POELS Wout
PONZI Simone
RUJANO GUILLEN Jose Humberto
SAGAN Peter
SCHUMACHER Stefan
SERGENT Jesse
SIUTSOU Kanstantsin
TEN DAM Laurens
VANDE VELDE Christian
VANENDERT Jelle
VOECKLER Thomas
WIGGINS Bradley
This team would have cost 7435 and would right now have 22198 points and would be leading by almost 10000 points. I'm sure it would be possbile to better that score even more with some other choices.
