Great feature - thanks for all the work you do

I did notice that I had a 3 rider overlap with the Danes team and knew I had 6 Danish riders on my team.
I wondered which 3 Danes I picked which were obviously the wrong Danes.

But when I compared we shared four riders Lund, Kron, Kamp and Philipsen.

Is it possible your code doesn't count zero-point riders (in this case Albert Withen

(and the wrong riders if any wonders were Per Hagenes and Jorgen Noordhagen)

Not behind PC now but will check Monday. I think because 0 riders effectively did not exist as of end of year 2024 they are excluded in the code indeed. Since Albert Withen was not in the data for 2024 he is excluded. I need to manually insert a 0 score for all riders at end of year if they did not have points. Then feature will work correctly.

That would be way premature for Ineos. The race to stay in the WT is in it's final year for this cycle and they are in 5th place so they are nowhere near at risk of getting relegated so it would be utterly pointless to go chase points just for the hell of it. Best to just focus on developing their riders well.

I guess it's almost impossible to be pointless when chasing points...? /RedheadDane mode

Considering Pogacar is in his own tier, that would mean hanging with guys like Van Eetvelt or Gall. Surely it's too early for that.

Maybe not literally so. Was thinking more if he can be similar to Remco 2019 in his neo pro year who was 56 seconds down on Valverde/Roglic/Gaudu, only 12 seconds behind Tom Dumoulin and beating the likes of Kwiatkowski and Nibali. That effort put him at 15th on the summit finish of Jebel Hafeet.

Something like that would be a strong performance.
