Ferminal said:If you go by the "last full season" these are their following costs:
Ricco - 1136
Di Luca - 930
Rebellin - 1807
Pellizotti - 987
Valjavec - 514
Rasmussen - 254
Kashechkin - 1230
Who would have picked any of these? I would have still thought about the Cobra but you wouldn't take a second look at any of the others. If you set the costs like this they will all be priced out of any possible decision. People should be able to make up their own minds rather than just saying we can't choose them.
Valverde goes by his 2009 value anyway as technically he doesn't exist for the 2010 season.

ingsve said:What's special about these riders compared to Schelcks, Contador, Cancellara etc?
Hugo Koblet said:So what do you suggest?
Ferminal said:Indeed, what's special about them that they need another layer rules just for them.
Where else is he riding apart from paris tours>? can't see him racking up many points in Oct.ingsve said:Cavendish going on a show off tour in the rainbow jersey could be my downfall I think. Why can't that guy just quit for the season like normal folks.

Midnightfright said:Well he's pretty much a lock for giro d Lombardia. He's a classics specialist now.
Eric8-A said:Just wait til they name him as a contender for Roubaix next year. It's one of the reasons why I didn't want him to win the WC
midnightfright said:god i hope not. I could just hear the preview now. Cancellara will have to attack from far because nobody can beat the messiah of the sprints the manx missile, the world champ the british sports personality of the year the peoples champ. Wait a minute why arent flecha and thomas waiting for him?? The swines!

El Pistolero said:As he said, last full year. What's not to understand about that?
example:
Valverde's price: CQ points from 2009.
Jancouver said:Are you going to provide a list of dopers with their cost? I dont think anybody here got time to trying to figure was was each doper's last full season.
IMO any rider sitting out for doping as of 1/1/2012 should not be allowed and everyone else should cost the usual 2011 CQ points price.
As per more riders per team, I do agree. That would give us even more variety and more riders to follow. I would even be OK with something like 50 riders per team and buying power of 10000. Thats 200 points per rider. Thats even less points per rider than what we have now.
But I could live even with 50/7500
